What was I about to say just now?

Ah...

I can't accompany you tomorrow,

so I came now, just to see you.

I know. You're going to

become the empress.

Yeah.

That's true.

Are you sure about all these,

the war and Pang Juan?

I don't know.

You're such an idiot.

Come on.

Put it on.

No, Ma'am.

No, I can't.

I can't.

Put it on!

It will...

...protect you from any danger.

You have to learn to take care

of yourself...

...'cause I won't be around anymore.

It is war.

It's fierce, it's brutal.

I want you to return home

safe and sound.

I'll wait for you.

No, I can't wait for you.

I am... I am...

...the empress now.

Bin,

would you treat me the same

as always?

Xi, things are different now.

Is that what you want?

I'm willing to go to the battlefield...

...to fight against Pang Juan.

I'm going to vanquish him;

I'm going to vanquish Wei.

I'll fight for the people of Qi.

Mister, go for it.

I'll give you a significant gift...

...when you make the triumphant return.

General...

General, the Qi forces

has started marching towards here.

To aid Zhao?

No, to seize our capital.

Mr. Defence Secretary.

What?

We find Wei's troops.

Senior General Tian suggests...

...we draw back yet leave

three thousand warriors behind.

Three thousand warriors?

That's not enough.

Mr. Defence Secretary,

what do you think?

Mr. Defence Secretary...

Mr. Defence Secretary,

Pang becomes suspicious.

We've pinned down the Wei forces.

Senior General,

how long will it take to retreat?

About Four hours.

We don't have that much time.

We got to pick up speed.

Speed up!

General, it's been two hours.

Go figure.

General, there's only one person.

General?

Follow up!

Deliver this letter to Wei emperor

as fast as you can.

Yes, sir.

Your Majesty,

I'm disabled now.

I intended to fight against Pang

at full stretch,

but I can't bear

seeing the citizens suffer.

If Qi and Wei accept a truce,

common people can have their lives back.

Just in case,

I've set ambush in Maling Dao.

I've made this decision...

...after thinking it through.

That's a hoax.

I've ordered troops to go to Maling Dao.

I'm not buying it.

Go back with me before it's too late.

The emperor's not dependable.

He's got other plans.

You're risking your own life.

I am the only leader. How could

the emperor have other plans?

He's trying to provoke me.

Looking for trouble, huh?

The victory belongs to me, only me.

Brother,

you've always been kindhearted,

how could you become so indifferent

to your soldiers?

You want to see them die?

You're out of your mind.

Not me, them.

The Wei emperor;

the Qi emperor;

Sun Bin;

Tian Xi...

...and you.

All these happened because of Sun Bin.

I know exactly what you're thinking.

I'd kill you...

...if you were not my sister.

Wan!

Come back with me.

I'm begging you, come back, please.

Senior General,

Mr. Defence Secretary concerns about you.

Please come with me.

To where?

Have a seat, please.

Your daughter used this cave to

secretly train her soldiers five years ago.

It leads to Maling Dao.

It seems...

...you knew it, right?

You're saying?

Come closer.

Pang sent assassins to take my life,

he had an informer in Qi.

It's you, as expected.

You know there's ambush in the cave,

and you intentionally mislead Pang...

...to fall into the trap.

You made a deal with the Wei emperor...

...that you get rid of Pang

and then replace him, right?

Does Xi know about this?

Xi's becoming the empress;

Qi is going to be much more well off

than Wei once the war is over;

the Qi emperor is a man of

great talent and bold vision.

Senior General,

stay where you are,

do what you use to do,

but for your own country, Qi.

Fire! Fire!

- Fire!

- Fire!

- General is here.

- Get out of the way.

Wan, have you lost your mind?

Brother, will this fire...

...pull you back to the man

you used to be?

No, it won't.

The only way out for me...

...is to occupy Wei...

...and Qi,

to gain the whole world!

You're way too greedy.

I can neither help you...

...nor stop you from doing this.

I hope you won't regret it.

I wish you a normal sweet life,

if there's a future life for us.

What're you gonna do?

- Wan!

- General!

- General!

- General! You can't go there!

- General!

- General! You can't go into the fire!

- Wan!

- General!

- Back off!

- General!

Wan!

Speed up.

Go check.

- Check!

- Check!

I feel anxious about...

...the battle tonight.

Tian Xi,

you deceived me.

Your Majesty,

I don't understand.

You don't love me,

you don't want to marry me.

I know.

I always knew.

I promised Sun...

...to give him a lavish gift.

No matter we win the battle or lose it,

you two shall get married.

General, we checked the pass.

It's clear.

Go!

Halt!

- Put out the fire!

- Put out the fire!

Bin,

is that you?

Juan,

give it up, okay?

Soldiers,

thank you for standing right by me

for so many years.

I wished to lead you to triumph;

I believed we could rule the world...

...and make your lives better.

But see what I did now,

I led you to the dead end.

I'm incapable.

You shall leave.

Go home and accompany your family,

have your lives back.

Sun Bin is pure, honest and kind.

He'll have you flipped.

We shall surrender.

You must take the order!

Bin,

it's over.

Pang, you're a saint.

Sun Bin?

Victory!

- Victory!

- Victory!

Get away, Pang!

Run! Run!

- To fight!

- To fight!

Sun Bin...

Sun Bin, help me.

It's gorgeous.

What?

The battlefield?

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

You're a fool, you know that?

Yes, I know.

You're such an idiot.

I know you've been suffering a lot,

but look at them...

I resent war.

I like Tian Xi;

I wish to marry her.

Such a... such a fool.

Bin...

Bin!

Sun Bin sacrificed himself for our country.

We'll erect a monument for Qi people

to cherish the memory of him.

In the name of the emperor

and the empress,

I now announce that,

for the world peace,

you have to keep this in mind:

There's no records of the art of war.

Thou shall not

spread any message related;

thou shall not

keep any book on tactics;

thou shall not

search for Master Guiguzi's students.

Sun Bin's masterpiece, The Art of War,

was unearthed in Shandong, 1972.
