Qin Dynasty Epic

Episode 65

I want to be in the death squad

at the front of the formation

to k*ll Zhao people.

You're only 14.

You might not even become a soldier.

Don't tell them that later.

I must join the army.

Ok.

I won't tell them.

Then don't talk about me, either.

I know.

Your father died outside the pass.

In your family,

you're the only man left.

You can't join the army
according to the law.

Stop talking.

Let's be quick.

King of Qin, Zheng

We're here to donate food.

I came first.

I came first.

I came first.

Ying Miao
Stop arguing.

Ying Miao
One at a time.

Don't be in a hurry.

One at a time.

Tell us the amount of food you donate.

Register ahead.

Here.

Line up.

Qin's Gentleman of the Palace, Meng Yi

Qin's Gentleman of the Palace, Meng Yi
Stop.

Jie,

what brings you here?

Crown Prince of Yan ran away.

Your Majesty.

Crown Prince of Yan
disguised as a Qin soldier

and escaped from Xianyang.

Ying Jie
I chased all the way here.

Ying Jie
He's right ahead with his followers.

I know a shortcut.

In a few hours,

we're sure to catch up with them.

Let him go.

Yes.

Lord Chunping.

Prince.

Crown Prince.

You escaped.

I'm finally relieved now.

Crown Prince of Yan, Dan
Thank you for your concern.

You delivered messages to us

Lord Chunping of Zhao, Zhao Yi
even if you were in danger.

Lord Chunping of Zhao, Zhao Yi
If it wasn't for your help,

Li Mu couldn't have defeated Huan Yi.

It's a pity the Qin army
wasn't wiped out.

Han Fei
Qin will be destroyed one day.

I wish to overthrow Qin with you.

I have prepared some liquor
to welcome you.

Please.

Please.

You lived in Xianyang
for more than two years.

What's your opinion about Qin?

From the royalties to commoners,

they all listen to the King of Qin.

Although Duke Wenxin is dead,

and Huan Yi was defeated
by General Li Mu,

the King of Qin's determination
didn't falter.

I think

the King of Qin has people's support

which the six states cannot compare.

Qin is also in a favorable position.

In the north, west and south,

they have no enemies

that require military forces to defend.

Guanlong is surrounded by mountains.

Xiao Mountains and Hangu Pass
are as secure as rock.

Charging west to attack Qin

would be tough.

I cannot agree more.

The King of Qin
promoted Qin Seal Script

to merchants from the six states.

Although it was resisted

strongly by scholars of the six states,

they gradually quiet down.

Apart from Qi merchants,

more and more

Guandong merchants disobeyed their Kings

and signed contracts
with Qin in Qin Seal Script

to make money.

The trend is favorable to Qin.

The alliance of the six states

can still resist Qin.

But if we want to win,

the battleground is not in the field,

but in the court.

If the six states are well governed,

and don't get enchanted by Qin,

the King of Qin will fail to find

the chance to wipe out the six states.

Zhao has Li Mu,

Chu has Xiang Yan.

The generals of the six states
are just as good.

Here.

Report.

General Li Mu asked Lord Chunping

to send 200 dan of grain

to Fei.

Tell the general,

the grain shall arrive on time.

Yes.

Lord Chunping,

General Li Mu and Wang Jian

have been confronting in Fei

for several months.

Wang Jian refused to fight.

He's trying to wear Zhao soldiers down.

Here.

Drink this up.

The Crown Prince and I
shall return to Han and Yan

and help Lord Chunping collect grain.

The three states shall
defend Qin together.

Lv Buwei's Residence, Luoyang, Qin

Zheng Yi

Lord Weiyang.

Your Majesty.

Offer sacrifices on my behalf.

Lord Weiyang of Qin, Ying Xi

Yes.

Sir.

Qin's Minister of Justice, Li Si

What is it?

After Crown Prince of Yan

secretly met Zhao Yi and Han Fei,

Chief Minister of Qin, Yao Gu
he sent someone to Qi

to buy military supplies

like copper, iron, salt,
and grain in bulks.

Grand Commandant of Qin, Liao

Godfather,

I've come to see you.

Zhao Gao

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

The strength of a state
lies in its people.

I wish to attract the people
of the six states into Qin

to weaken those states.

The canal will be ready soon.

It's the perfect time to attract

those people into Qin.

I fear those people

wouldn't want to leave their home.

Chief Minister,

go to Linzi

and buy copper and iron
from the King of Qi

so that they will not go to Zhao.

How will Zhao respond?

Without military resources,

their power will be weakened.

Zhao will seek help from Han,
Wei and other states.

Then write a letter

to Han, Wei, Chu and Yan

saying Zhao k*lled Duke Wenxin of Qin.

Those who dare to help Zhao,

will be regarded as an enemy,

and will be destroyed.

What if the states secretly

send military supplies to Zhao?

That is exactly what
His Majesty wants to see.

Yan and Zhao have always had a grudge.

So the King of Yan won't help Zhao.

Chu isn't rich in copper or iron,

and is far from Zhao,

so they won't help, either.

Han and Wei are afraid of Qin.

They won't do it in public.

But they'll be in danger if Zhao's gone.

So they can only open private mines
of copper and iron

to save Zhao.

If they open private mines,

grain shortage will be inevitable.

Without food,

people in six states,

especially the Three Jins,

will travel west to Qin
to look for food.

And then,

even if the states join hands,

they won't be able to stop us

from taking all six states,

and unifying the world.

Qin and Zhao's Battleground

Wang Jian is more sophisticated
than Huan Yi.

You've adjusted
our deployment several times,

yet he all pretended he didn't know.

He wants to wait until

our grain and troops are used up,

before they strike.

General of Zhao, Li Mu
Let me pick a hundred

loud soldiers,

to yell at Qin's camps,

and humiliate Wang Jian.

I don't think he can keep calm.

I don't think it'll work on him.

The soldiers have to do something

to cheer themselves up

instead of slacking off.

Observe Qin army.

Tell me if there's anything unusual.

Yes.

Zhengguo Canal Construction Site, Qin

On behalf of



officials and several
hundred thousand civilians,

Canal Engineer, Zheng Guo
I'd like to welcome you all.

Please.

Ten years ago,

you came to Qin alone.

Ten years later, you made such
great project that benefits the people.

Congratulations.

Without the Minister of Justice,

there wouldn't be any canal,

or what I have achieved today.

So that means,

I have also contributed to its success.

Look, it's just ahead.

The imperial edict arrives.

Qin

Minister of Justice, please announce it.

Qin

Imperial edict,

Qin
the sky is vast,

Qin
the land is boundless.

With the canal that extends for 300 li,

people in Guanzhong will no longer
fear drought and flood.

Qin will have unlimited resources.

To award Zheng Guo's
outstanding achievements,

I name this canal the Zhengguo Canal

as a credit to several hundred thousand

Qin workers on the canal.

The end.

Long live His Majesty!

Long live the great Qin!

Long live His Majesty!

Long live the great Qin!

Long live His Majesty!

Long live the great Qin!

Qin

Prime Minister of Qin, Kui Zhuang

Lift the gate!

Good.

Look.

Water's coming.

Look at the water!

The water is finally coming!

Wonderful!

Lord Changping of Qin, Mi Qi

Official of Qin, Chen Chi

Censor of Qin, Wang Wan

This is the water of Qin.

The water of Qin!

Handan, Capital of Zhao

Lord Chunping,

this is the grain Wei provided.

This is salt and iron
provided by Prince Fei.

Silk and linen

were donated by Chu.

With the support of the six states,

Zhao will not fear Qin army.

I've sent someone to check,

and store them by category
for military use.

Very good.

Resources from the six states

have all been recorded.

Prime Minister of Zhao, Guo Kai
But how to make profit

Prime Minister of Zhao, Guo Kai

Prime Minister of Zhao, Guo Kai
from copper and iron?

Official of Qin, Dun Ruo

Tell me

how to

make profit from it.

Qin and Zhao armies

have been confronting in Fei

for months without a winner.

I think

General Wang Jian

and General Li Mu

are both outstanding generals.

Without a year or so,

it's hard to decide a winner.

What several hundred thousand
soldiers and horses need,

except for grain and grass,

would be copper and iron.

Why not take this chance

to profit from hoarding copper and iron

to offset your daily expenses?

Thank you for your advice.

If there is any news about the w*r,

please let me know.

No problem.

Goodbye.

Don't see me out.

Please.

With Zhengguo Canal opened,

Qin's lands become fertile.

I've asked the governor
of Sanchuan Commandry

to move commoners into the pass,

and go directly to Weibei.

Prime Ministers.

Yes.

You shall assist them along the way.

Make sure the commoners

can reach the hinterland
of Weibei safely.

Yes.

Censor.

Yes.

Urge the counties in Weibei

to prepare

seed, farming tools and cattle,

so that the commoners can farm,

and settle down.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

if too many people come,

the six states will be alerted

and try to stop them.

Taking cities and lands
isn't the priority,

taking people is.

The man
who has the people around the world

rules the world.

The six states cannot stop it.

Chief Minister arrives.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Qi has agreed to sell copper and iron.

The King of Qi ordered,

that not a cart of copper
or iron shall go to Zhao.

Terrific.

Market in Handan, Zhao

Copper and iron from Xinzheng.

It's the last batch.

The one with the highest price gets it.

Brother,

the price is negotiable.

Let's discuss it in private.

I'll pay 20 gold for one cart.









Isn't that too high?



You...



A hundred.

Prime Minister.

How did it go?

Prime Minister,

it was crazy,

totally crazy.

Two carts of raw iron,

in exchange for 200 gold.

It's 20 times more than usual.

How is that possible?

Prime Minister,

it's the truth.

We cannot let anyone

take this business.

Send all the followers out,

to block all the paths into Zhao.

Every piece of copper and iron

shall be taken to me.

Yes.

Go on.

Top General of Qin, Wang Jian

The battle has begun.

Lead 20 thousand soldiers

to attack Wang Jian's central troops.

Yes.

Any questions?

General,

we're short of copper and iron.

We only have 12 thousand or so

cavalrymen who can fight.

If we don't have enough cavalrymen,

they can be k*lled by the Qin army.

How many chariots do we have?

Two thousand chariots.

The iron casting of more than



And need to be replaced.

The rest can be used.

General,

the Qin army is coming.

Three troops form up

to cover for each other,

and retreat to the camp.

Yes.

Retreat.

Top General of Qin, Wang Jian

General,

the Zhao army is retreating.

Allow me to lead
the chariot battalion to attack.

Beat the bell to retreat.

General.

Pass my order now.

Yes.

Withdraw.

Beat the bell to retreat!

General of Qin, Qian Dun
General,

General of Qin, Qian Dun
if they move back to their camp,

it'll be hard for us to defeat them

in one stroke.

The purpose of this battle

lies not in fighting,

but in the political strategies.

Today is only a test,

and Zhao's army

chickened out.

It means His Majesty's strategy

has worked well.

Jicheng, Capital of Yan

Zhao's short of military supplies,

and in a difficult position.

Please fulfill your promise in Handan

to help Zhao resist Qin.

Grand Mentor,

Yan can't sit back and watch Zhao fall.

Grand Mentor of Yan, Ju Wu
With Zhao there,

Qin army cannot pass Yishui River.

With Zhao gone,

Yan will be in danger.

Zhao and Yan were not at peace.

It's understandable that His Majesty

refused to help Zhao.

After spending years in a foreign state,

now I'm back in Jicheng

yet I still can't do anything.

I know someone

who knows Qin by heart

and knows the King of Qin better.

Maybe we can use his help.

Who is it?

It's right here.

Let me ask him to come out

and meet with you.

No.

I'll go.

Alright.

Please.

He's drunk and sleeping all day.

But he has good judgement.

Gentleman.

Gentleman.

Wuji.

This is Crown Prince of Yan.

Fan Wuji?

Fan Wuji

I remember your kindness

of gifting me the horse.

Fan Wuji

Crown Prince Dan?

After you arrived

in Jicheng,

why didn't you come to find me?

The King of Qin
hunted me down in six states.

Can you save me?

You can only save yourself.

What do you mean?

Cut the chase.

Qin is attacking Zhao.

Yet father didn't listen to me,

and forbid copper and iron
from entering Zhao.

If Zhao is gone, Yan will be in danger.

Do you have a solution?

If the strength of your six states

cannot resist Qin,

what can a fugitive like I do?

You have a point.

Lord Chunping invited you,

Prince Fei of Han and the others

to go to Handan,

to discuss the strategy
of resisting Qin.

I'll set out tomorrow.

General Fan,

stay in my residence for now.

Let them know if you need anything.

Wait.

I know how to help Zhao.

Lord Chunping's Residence, Handan, Zhao

Prince Fei.

My lord.

Mr. Wei Zhan has arrived.

We were waiting for you
and Crown Prince of Yan.

Please.

Please.

Official of Wei, Wei Zhan
Qin's General Wang Jian and Lord Wu'an

are fighting hard in Fei.

Yet the King of Qi

forbade copper and iron
from entering Zhao.

Quite insidious.

Wei will not stand by and do nothing.

On behalf of Zhao,
I'd like to thank you.

We're short of military supplies.

Copper and iron

have been used up.

Now we can only defend and not attack.

It's urgent.

We hope Wei and Han can help.

Lord Chunping,

how do you want Han and Wei to help?

Advise the King of Wei and Han

to lift the ban on private mining
of copper and iron

so that they can be transported to Zhao.

Lord Chunping,

Zhao should lift its bands first,

and wait to see how things go.

Prince,

our land is barren.

Prince of Zhao, Cong
We can't produce a lot of grain.

Prince of Zhao, Cong
If Zhao people are asked

Prince of Zhao, Cong
to mine copper and iron,

we're sure to be lack of food.

And then, even if Qin didn't attack,

we would still not be able to survive.

Prince,

the Three Jins rely on each other.

If Zhao is in trouble,

Han and Wei should try our best to help.

You have a point.

But I cannot agree

to lift the ban in Han and Wei.

Why?

Farming is the foundation of a state.

If the ban is lifted,

farmers will be implicated.

And lifting the ban
doesn't solve the main problem.

Han and Wei will be implicated.

It cannot save Zhao

out of its problems.

But right now,

Qin army is pressing us in Fei.

Save us first.

Lifting the ban

will hurt the foundation of our states.

Even if it can temporarily

get Zhao out of trouble,

how will the Three Jins

resist Qin in the future?

Lord Chunping,

he has a point.

We should be cautious
in lifting the ban.

Lord Chunping,
Crown Prince of Yan arrives.

Grand Mentor Ju Wu
has talked with the Huns.

In the future,

copper and iron from Yan

can be transported to Fei
from the north of Yan.

Is that the truth?

The only problem is the distance.

Too much manpower will be used.

And the cost of transporting to Fei

will be 50% higher than usual.

Zhao can accept that.

Good.

Crown Prince.

My lord.

Crown Prince.

Sir.

Crown Prince.

Crown Prince of Yan

has helped Handan

and Zhao.

Gentlemen,

transporting copper and iron

through the Huns' territory

is not a long-term strategy.

Since the Crown Prince is here,

we shall go to Linzi together,

and persuade the King of Qi

to turn against Qin.

Prince Fei,

that can wait.

I need to thank
Crown Prince of Yan first.

Crown Prince.

Please.

Please.

You have offended Lord Chunping.

Prime Minister.

What's the matter?

The price of copper and iron
plummeted for days.

Our goods are too expensive.

No one bought it.

Give some discount,

and clear out all the stock.

If we sell at the current price,

what we earned before

will all be lost.

Impossible.

I have made

five thousand gold.

Nine out of ten copper and iron

here in Zhao

are held in your hands.

If the price plummets,

your losses

will be the greatest.

There must be a way.

There must be a way.

Prime Minister.

Speak.

Ruo.

You're finally here.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

I've just found out

the reason the price plummeted.

Then I spared no time to find you.

What's going on?

Someone's behind

the price drop.

Be more specific.

Someone transported
copper and iron to Li Mu

without going through you.

If you can go to Fei in person,

to find out where they came from,

I can report to His Majesty

to have the path

sealed for good.

You've been stationed in Fei

to keep Handan safe.

On behalf of His Majesty
and the Queen Dowager,

I've come to appreciate your efforts.

By coming in person,

you should boost the morale,

instead of spreading corruption

from Handan.

Handan

is the backing of the soldiers.

How can you criticize it like that?

I heard

that in Handan,

a cart of copper and iron
costs a hundred gold.

If that's how you govern,

our state will perish.

The soldiers will have no morale

to guard their state.

Salt, iron, copper and tin are rare.

It's Qin people's doing.

It has nothing to do with me.

If you could've

defeated Qin sooner,

Handan wouldn't have been
short of anything.

What you're saying is

the front-line soldiers and I

have failed Zhao.

That's not what I meant.

Please.

How long have you been
confronted with Wang Jian?

Several months.

So why didn't you attack first?

Instead of letting your soldiers

idle their time away?

Don't you know

the problem we're facing?

You were short of copper and iron.

The harness and chariots

could not be repaired,

and used in battles.

But I heard it has been solved.

How did you do that?

I've certainly acquired it

from you at a high price.

You're joking.

Prime Minister,

your mission to greet the soldiers

has been completed.

Please tell His Majesty

and the Queen Dowager

that our soldiers

will not let the Qin army

trespass on Fei.

Prime Minister,

I have found out

where their copper and iron came from.
