It was my Lord Ce's father, Lord Jian, who pacified the land and brought peace to us. Lord Ce, the people of Jiang Dong look to you to continue your father's work and defend the peace of the land. Sun Ce : I am fully aware of that! I swear that I shall do all I can to protect our land. Zhou Yu : It appears that we each have our own reasons for following my Lord Ce. Sun Ce : Yes, and if I am successful in carrying on in my goal to unify the land, all of your expectations will be fulfilled. So what should be our first step ? Zhou Yu : We do not yet have a stable land base. We must spread our territory and build a base from which to conquer the world. Sun Ce : Then which land should we take first ? Zhang Zhao : That would of course be Jiang Dong. The people here are groaning under the whips of such villains as Liu Yong, Yan Bai Hu, and Wang Lang. It will not be difficult to destroy them and take all of Jiang Dong. Huang Gai : The people of Jiang Dong will surely rejoice at the coming of my Lord Sun Ce. Sun Ce : All right! I see that your thoughts match mine. It is decided! Our first goal is Jiang Dong! We must prepare for battle at once! Zhou Yu : My lord! Hearing that Sun Ce had raised an army, former officers of his father, Sun Jian, rush to his aid. With the momentum on his side, Sun Ce marches against Wu's Yan Bai Hu and Jui Ji's Wang lang to gain total control of the Jiang Dong Region. Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu and Han Dang have joined Sun Ce. Sun Ce has decided to attack Wu and Hui Ji. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Two : Sun Ce at Jiang Dong ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post Task Text : Having connqured the territory of Jiang Dong, Sun Ce selected Jian Ye for his capital. While fortifying his position, he began to evaluate the surrounding area. In the Imperial Captial of Xu Chang, Cao Cao controlled the Emperor and wielded Imperial power. This was a threat that even Sun Ce in distand Jiang Dong could not ignore. Zhou Yu sends spies to Xu Chang to discover Cao Cao's plans. One day, the spies come back with two pieces of information. Sun Ce : The bastard! Who does he think he is ? Zhou Yu : There is no need to become angry. Sun Ce : What?! He calls me a rabid dog of little consequence, and you say not to become angry ? I'll take Xu Chang now and have his head Zhou Yu : My Lord, you must stay calm! A general holds the lives of all in his hands. He must not lose control, especially over an enemy's taunts. Sun ce : Ah... Forgive me. You've told me that many times before Zhou Yu : Now, I deem this other piece of information to be of greater importance. Rumors have long spoken of an impending clash between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Word is that Yuan Shao is finally moving toward the Capital Xu Chang. Cao Cao is cetain to take his entire force to meet Yuan Shao. The battle will probably occur around the area of Guan Du. Then there will be no one defending Xu Chang!. This is our Chance! If we take the emperor and imperial capital, we'll be a lot close to unifying the country! That is true, my lord. However, Xu Chang is extremely far off. It would not be easy to reach there. Also, I am concerned over Jing's Liu Biao. There is a good chance that he would attack us from behind if we were to leave on such a long campaign. Rather than do that, I believe we should concentrate on building our forces while Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are distrated in the north. Sun Ce : I see. And where do you think we should go first ? Zhou Yu : The bounty of the Jing Province is well known. It is also a strategic location that will give us access to the entire land. I believe this should be our first priority. To start, we should attack the city of Lu Kou. Sun Ce : As always, you are thinking one step ahead. Still, the idea of making a fast thrust through to Xu Chang is hard for me to let go. Zhou Yu : The decision is yours. However, I beg to consider carefully. Once you start out on either road, there will be no turning back. Sun Ce : I will keep that in mind. Sun Ce has decided to attack either Lu Kou or Xu Chang. Sun Ce has made Jian Ye his capital. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Three : Kingdom of Wu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Four A : Cao Cao take the North (Aim for the Heavens) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post Task Text : Having conquered all of He Bei, Cao Cao's forces were immense. In comparison, the forces that Sun Ce could call on were ridiculously small. Soon after he subjugates all of Jiang Dong, Sun Ce faces the greatest danger of his life. However, he does not appear worried. Sun Ce : Cao Cao has invited me to go hunting with him. Zhou Yu : By likening war to hunting, he apparently thinks he's being clever. Sun Ce : It looks like some believe we should surrender. But I have no qualms about fighting. Zhou Yu : I am well aware of that. During Sun Ce's frantic preparation for battle, Liu Bei's messenger, Zhuge Liang, arries in camp with a proposal to join forces to fight Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang : My Lord Liu Bei has long heard of the courage and strength of Lord Sun... Sun Ce : I dislike flattery. Come to the point. Zhuge Liang : Forgive me. I have come to offer our aid to you in your upcoming battle against Cao Cao. Sun Ce : You would aid us in our fight ? Jing is soon to be overrun by Cao Cao. How is a landless Lord Liu going to fight ? Zhuge Liang : Yes. Among the General's land is Jiang Xia. This overlooks Jiang Ling in the west and borders Lu Kou to the south. Our forces will defend this land. If General Sun holds Chai Sang, we will be able to catch Cao Cao between our two forces and destroy him. Zhou Yu : In other words, we'll fight Cao Cao with you, so give us Jiang Xia, right ? Zhuge Liang : I would prefer not to put it that way. How about, we will defend your land of Jiang Xia for you. Zhou Yu : What was it...the "Three Kingdoms"? After we defeat Cao Cao, you use Jiang Xia as a starting point to take Jiang and the Yi. Is that about right ? Zhuge Liang : My Lord is keen. There is no response to that and so I will withdraw and await your answer. Zhou Yu : Allowing Liu Bei into Jiang Xia will certainly provide a breakwater against the forces of Cao Cao. If that is what you want then the alliance is an excellent idea. However, in the long run, allowing Liu Bei to gain strength is not a wise plan. Sun Ce : I do not need aid to defeat the likes of Cao Cao! Sun Ce presses for an immediate showdown with Cao Cao. Hoeer, Zhou Yu opposes this and urges him to wait to meet Cao Cao in a naval battle on Chang Jiang. Sun Ce accepts this idea. He agrees to concentrate on preparing his forces until Cao Cao defeats Liu Bei and overcomes all of Jing. Sun Ce has entered battle with Cao Cao. A man called Fei Zhan has occupied Shi Shin and appears to be opposing Sun Ce. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Four B : Sun Quan's Stand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Five A : Shoot for the Sun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Five B : Night before Chi Bi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Six A : The Fleeing Liu Bei (Conqueror) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pre-Task Text : Pressed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei fled Jing. Liu Bei and all his officers disappeared. Meanwhile, Cao Cao sent an advance force across the Chang Jiang and it occupied Lu Kou. The showdown between the forces of Sun Ce and the forces of Cao Cao was fast approaching. Cao Cao's force, gathered from the heavily populated Zhong Yuan area, was said to approach a million men. In contrast, the forces of Sun Ce are few. In an attempt to even the odds, Sun Ce calls a council of War and begins to lay plans. Zhou Yu : My Lord, you were missing this morning. Sun Ce : Yes, we had excellent weather today, so I decided to take a ride and see how the enemy was formed. Zhou Yu : By yourself ? Sun Ce : It is faster that way. There is no one around who can keep up with me. Zhou Yu : My Lord ! A commander of men must not place himself in danger unnecessarily! Think of your men! If anything were to happen to you, it would mean our defeat! Sun Ce : Ha ha ha, don't get so angry! Actually, I have brought back some interesting information from my ride. I have learned where the enemy's supply depot is. All supplies are being gathered at Mt. Ju Tie. Also the defenses there are rather weak. Huang Gai : Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao by burning his supplies. I do not believe he would allow the same thing to happen to himself. Sun Ce : I saw it my own eyes! There is no mistake. Cao Cao is taking me lightly. He believes that I will try for a naval battle on the Chang Jiang. Huang Gai : And so what do you believe we should do? Sun Ce : We must attack Mt. Ju Tie and burn his supplies! Without supplies, Cao Cao will have no choice but to retreat! To open the path to Mt. Ju Tie, we must first take and hold Lu Kou. When we have that in hand, I will ... Zhou Yu : My Lord, you are not going to say that you will personally lead the assault, now are you? Sun Ce : Of course I am! This battle will decide the war! Do you think I will let something this fun be done by someone else? Zhou Yu : But my Lord! The commander... Sun Ce : Stop, Zhou Yu! Not another word. This is something I must do! Sun Ce has decided to attack Lu Kou. The armies must be reorganized for the attack. Post task text : After occupying Lu Kou, Sun Ce quickly formed a special assault force. He personally took command of the force and attacked Cao Cao's supply depot at Mt. Ju Tie. FMV Success is ours Pull back before reinforcement arrives End of FMV Sun Ce's assault went without a hitch, and the supply depot was burned to the ground. With this defeat, Cao Cao's overwhelming numbers became a liability, and supplies became a problem. Cao Cao was forced to forego his dreams of conquest and return with his army to Xu Chang. Though the people of Wu were giddy with victory, Sun Ce himself had not escaped unharmed. During the battle of Chi Bi, Sun Ce, who had personally led the pursuit, had been surrounded. Though his bold spear allowed him to escape, he was badly wounded. However, not wanting to show weakness, he orders the men with him to silence, and says nothing of his wound to Zhou Yu and the other officers. Sun Ce has decided to campaign into both northern and southern Jing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Six B ?? : Liu Bei borrows Jiang Xia (The Moment Of Truth) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Seven A : Assault on Mt. Jiu Tie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post Task Text : Even after being wounded, Sun Ce tried to act as if nothinng had happened. However, Zhou Yu soon perceived the subtle difference in his lord's behaviour. Waiting until the other officers were away, Zhou Yu questions Sun Ce. Sun Ce : I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Zhou Yu : The wound may be deep. However, if you rest and gain aid, I am certain it will heal. An excellent opportunity. You should concentrate on commanding this battle and leave the front lines to us! Sun Ce : I can not do that! I was born to wield a spear. It is my life! Zhou Yu : If you were merely a regular soldier, that would be truly praiseworthy. However, as I have said many times before, a Commander does not have that freedom! Sun Ce : I will not stay out of the fight! I must be in the fighting! Asking others to fight, while you sit and watch... That is for cowards. Zhou Yu : Lord Ce... Sun Ce : Don't look at me like that. Around this time, Sun Quan and Sun Li took the field to aid their older brother Ce. Sun Quan was rumoured to be the equal of his brother in ability. Sun Li was well versed in the arts of war and strategy and had a fiery spirit, equal to that of her brothers. In this way, Sun Ce strengthened and organized his forces for battle against both the approaching Cao Cao and the internal uprisings that had occured. Sun Quan and Sun Li has joined Sun Ce. Xu Gong has taken Wu. Shi Xie has taken Nan Hai. Both oppose Sun Ce. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The wound he received from battle with Cao Cao slowly began to affect Sun Ce's health. Sun Ce realized that his remaining time was short. He knew that if he was going to attack the powerful Cao Cao and seize the greater portion of land, he had to attack soon. He gathers his advisors to plan. Zhang Shao : Attack Cao Cao? Are you serious? Even the smallest child on the streets knows that Wu cannot stand against that force. Sun Ce : Regardless, I wish to attack Cao Cao now! Zhang Zhao : Do not be childish! Huang Gai : Lord Zhang is right! To stand any chance at all against Cao Cao we must gain more strength. Sun Ce : (I don't have that time! But I can't tell them that!) Huang Gai : Lord Zhou, don't just sit there. You tell our Lord how foolish his idea is as well. Zhou Yu : ...Forgive me, but I cannot say anything at this time. Huang Gai : What? What's wrong? That is not like you. Zhang Zhao : Whatever. Wu is still too weak to survive a confrontation with Cao Cao. We must gain strength. First, in order to raise strength quickly, we must take Yi away from Liu Zhang. You understand that, don't you ?! Sun Ce : All right. Then that is what we will do. Prepare for battle. We shall attack Liu Zhang's capital, Cheng Du! Huang Gai : My Lord! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun Ce entered the Yi province. Aiming to occupy Cheng Du, Sun Ce pushed through Yi. To further the attack on Liu Zhang, Sun Ce temporarily makes Wu Ling his capital. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Liu Zhang was pushed into a corner by Sun Ce's attack. Suddenly, Liu Zhang was visited by the long absent Liu Bei and his men. Liu Bei declared that as a relative he would side with Liu Zhang in this conflict. However, Liu Bei's purpose was different. He plans to take over Yi after Sun Ce has been driven off. Liu Bei's army has joined Liu Zhang's force. Occupy Cheng Du within the time given. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
