The Warring States

---

Two thousand years ago,

the world was carved up by different

kings and princes, who continued to

disptte and catse conflicts.

Tacticians are needed urgently while

Master Guiguzi was the most remarkable

yet mysterious one at that time. According to legend,

he had created a masterpiece on the art of war.

Everyone was trying to obtain it so as to rule the world.

It is said the essential ideas

of the art of war was only passed down

to one of his sttdents, Sun Bin...

Mister Sun Bin lives in solitude,

following the example of Master Guiguzi.

The world is in the chaos caused by war.

The Wei emperor is hoping...

...Mr. Sun could lend a helping hand.

The Qin emperor is sincerely

looking forward to Mr. Sun's assistance,

we will offer a reward of a title of nobility.

With great respect, the Qi emperor

is now asking Mr. Sun...

...to provide help to us.

It's gorgeous.

The battlefield?

No, I'm talking about Xi's eyes.

Go!

- To battle!

- To battle!

Go!

To battle!

Archer!

Hide, everyone!

Watch out for the arrows.

They stopped.

Let's go out and gather the arrows.

Come on!

Don't go out!

There will be more arrows shooting at us.

Hide! Hide from the arrows!

I saved you;

the flute saved me.

I would die if it were not for it.

To return the favor of saving me,

I'll give you food.

Food?

We go to Wei's barracks to

exchange the arrows for food.

You can call me Doggie.

What's your name?

Sun Bin.

Here we come.

The General commanded that

due to the tense situation,

food will no longer be sent out while

men be sent into exile.

Well...

We don't ask for food;

the arrows are yotrs now.

We're going to gather more arrows.

Be right back.

- How can you be so brutal?

- Sun Bin.

- They risked their lives gathering the arrows.

- Sun Bin.

Who's Sun Bin?

You're the General?

Master Guiguzi's student?

They risked their lives gathering

the arrows, just for some food.

- You don't give them any? Fine...

- Give him the food.

I've got the food.

Here, this is for you.

Mister, save us.

We're depending on you.

Save us, please.

I see, the General is a lady.

She's pretty.

Look at her eyes.

It was she that beat you up?

Wow, awkward.

This is amusing.

Have you come up with any ideas?

Not yet.

I'm sorry,

I have absolutely no idea.

What's the date today?

I've got an idea.

General, the Wei forces have cleaned up

the battlefield.

They even took the remains of

our soldiers up to the mountain.

What were they thinking?

- What's happening?

- What is it?

What's wrong?

Why is it becoming darker and darker?

What's happening?

What is it?

Why is it getting dark?

Hey, what happened?

There will be an eclipse of the sun

tomorrow, at noon.

You shall seize the opportunity,

lead your army down the mountain;

sneak up on your enemy,

give them a surprise attack.

They will panic for sure,

that's when you do a full-on strike.

Be prepared... for war.

General...

General,

the Wei forces went down the mountain

when it got dark.

Now they're approaching us from behind.

Swap places and get ready!

Yes, Ma'am.

Attention!

Watch out for spies!

Fight!

The Wei soldiers have red ribbons

around their wrists.

Untie the ribbon!

Ma'am...

Take... care...

Sun Bin, don't go.

Freeze!

- Freeze!

- Sun Bin!

Don't run away.

I'll jump if you come any closer.

- Sun Bin!

- Sun Bin!

Archer!

- Mighty General Pang!

- Mighty General Pang!

I've done a surprise attack...

...during the solar eclipse.

The Qi forces were defeated and...

...the bordertown was easily captured.

Who's the plotter?

I don't know...

Please forgive me, General.

Who made the plan?

The General's talking to you!

I'm giving you one more chance,

tell me.

He's my junior fellow apprentice,

Sun Bin.

Sun Bin?

We got to find him...

...at all costs.

Can't let Wei have him.

He's the only hope to

rescue Senior General Tian.

Miss, you're injured.

Sun Bin.

Are you talking to me?

You're...

Your Highness...

Is Tian Xi coming back?

Yes, Your Majesty. They just arrived.

There's one extra person, named...

Speak out.

Sun Bin, the Qi citizen.

Strategist Sun...

Open the palace gate;

greet him with supreme etiquette.

I, Tian Ji, am responsible for the defeat.

It was such a shame.

I'm willing to be punished.

I shall be sentenced to death.

General Tian, don't say that, please.

It's not the time yet.

Mr. Sun, you're sent to Penglai

by Buddha,

it is our great honor to have you here.

The Qi emperor is waiting for you...

...to get off the carriage.

What happened to your face?

I encountered a strange beast...

...which intends to carry me off.

I fought back violently,

the beast ran away with tears and fear.

That's why I look like this.

This way.

Your Majesty, I'd like to know

the name of that female General.

Release Senior General Tian.

Long live the emperor!

All sages...

...have come to Qi.

Qi is blessed.

Buddha bless Qi!

Buddha bless Qi!

Pang Juan and Sun Bin are students of

Master Guiguzi,

yet only one of them has learned

the profound ideas of him.

Yes.

How's your brother? Is he good,

comparing to Sun Bin?

My brother used to talk about...

...the time when they were with

Master Guiguzi.

Master Guiguzi asked them...

...to play hide-and-seek...

...when they were studying there.

Sun Bin hid in the woods.

My brother couldn't find him,

so he played dead.

Sun Bin came out immediately...

...that my brother thought he was a

decent man, so they became best friends.

Why doesn't Mr. Sun come to Wei?

They say that

Pang Juan promised Sun Bin to...

...let you marry him.

Your Highness, I'm not going anywhere.

Never mind. I was kidding.

- Senior General...

- Senior General...

Father, sorry for my being late.

You're more a reliable son

than a favored daughter.

You saved me.

Father, you've lost the bordertown...

I am ashamed of myself.

How could the enemy defeat you

so easily?

It's classified.

Where's Sun Bin?

He's in the palace.

Send my gratitude to him.

Senior General...

I raised a daughter

yet she took responsibilities of a man.

- Yes.

- That's true.

Should Tian Ji be punished for...

Iosing the bordertown?

What's your opinion, Mr. Sun?

If he's found guilty,

then you're guilty too.

- How dare you!

- How dare you say that!

Speak out, please.

You've given General Tian a job

which is ill-suited for him.

Your Majesty, Sun Bin shall be sentenced

to death due to disrespectful behavior.

- Agreed.

- Agreed.

Why?

I'm gonna make you...

...the Defence Secretary of our nation.

I feel honored, Your Majesty.

But I can't accept that.

Why not?

Master Guiguzi doesn't allow me

to be a politician.

Well, join the army then?

That's not allowed, either.

Pang Juan is a General, remember?

Sure.

You idiot!

You shall be killed

for disobeying the emperor's order.

No, no...

I didn't...

You want to be

neither politician nor armyman.

How about a hanger-on of the Tians?

Who?

Thank you, Your Majesty.

- He's a fool.
