Huo Qubing — A Gift of Heaven

General. A captive of the late Left King. Has urgent news. Your mercy spared my life.

I'll never forget it. The Left Wise King himself camps a hundred li ahead on the plain. His army numbers forty thousand.

Rise. Take him to the tent. General. I believe

in this northern campaign, using surrendered Xiongnu as our guides will not sit well.

And may turn against us. He was born here. Knows the water and trails. Knows their tactics well.

Such a man, why not use him? But they're all surrenders!

On the battlefield, courage and skill matter, not birth. Use who you can.

Send who can fight. Beyond the main camp, three forts stand apart. Their troops are split,

defenses thin. Good. A gift of heaven. Warriors!

General Wei Qing has left Dingxiang, toward the Xiongnu main force. We strike the Left Wise King.

Attack front and back, cut off their roots. Charge! So our frontier has no more wandering.

So our northern borders rest in peace. Even driving the Xiongnu out, why rest? Raze the north. Open the border city.

My lord, terrible news! The Han army crossed the Gongyu River. Charging straight at our camp. Numbers unknown. Coming fast.

Our camp's defenses are tight. Forty thousand elite troops. How dare the Han attack? Don't spread panic here.

Yes. It's Huo Qubing. He leads the force.
