The year of Gengzi coincides with the celestial phenomenon of "four stars in one", indicating the signs of a change of dynasty. Cao Cao's (Zhou Runfa) subordinates, especially his son Cao Pi (Qiu Xinzhi), hoped to take this opportunity to promote the throne of Emperor Zen and Cao Cao to the throne; at the same time, the forces opposing Cao Cao also stepped up their actions, and no one knew what earth-shattering things would happen in the Great Han Dynasty when the four stars were united. In Guanzhong, behind The Captive Camp of Ma Chao and Han Sui, the young Mu Shun (Yu Muhong) and the young girl Lingju (Liu Yifei) are snatched away by an iron horse and taken to a huge mausoleum for brutal training, and they will be molded into iron-blooded dead soldiers to complete an unspeakable earth-shattering mission. In this film, Liu Yifei reveals her fully naked back.
In the second year of Jian'an, Lingju and Mushun were taken to a dark place, where no one knew what fate was, and no one knew whether they would be alive tomorrow, only cruel training and never-ending killing.
I don't know when it began, Mu Shun's gaze became Ling ju's only hope.
Finally, one day, Lingju was packed in a bag as a trophy and taken to the high platform, where only those who won the victory and survived in the end could get her. Mu Shun looked around and did not find lingju, guessing that the person in the bag might be lingju, so he rushed to the high platform alone. Unpacking the bag, Lingju and Mushun together killed the people who were still standing on the stage, Mushun was also injured in the back, at night Lingju wiped the wounds for Mushun, Mushun told Lingju that there was a beautiful peach blossom source in his heart, there was no strategic dispute, there was no hatred to kill, there lived Lingju and Mushun, there was Land cultivation and clothing, and there were descendants, as long as the hope in his heart did not die, no one could kill them. Another day, Lingju was sent to Tongquetai to be dedicated to Cao Cao, and Mu Shun was castrated and sent to the palace. They finally know that all this is to kill the most powerful person in the whole world, and only then can they be free.
Five years later, Cao Cao joined forces with Sun Quan to conquer Guan Yu, and his life and death were uncertain. Cao Pi ruined the empress, Lingju appeared in red, Mu Shun followed a group of eunuchs behind Emperor Xian of Han, and Emperor Xian of Han personally led his ministers to wait at Tongquetai. When the coffin came, everyone thought that Cao Cao was dead, and they all covered their faces and wept bitterly, until the three words "Ying Wei Wang" came, and Cao Cao rode to the stage and said, "Let some people be disappointed, Fancheng Great Victory, Guan Yu was killed by Lü Meng, Sun Quan Xiao'er, dedicate Guan Yu's first rank to me, want to provoke me Liu Bei, lonely, with the princely ceremony, to restrain Guan Yu."
Celestial "four stars in one", Cao Pi united the astrologers and a number of ministers, causing Cao Cao to change the dynasty, Cao Cao drew his sword and killed the star magician, and the Day "deceived the people with demonic words".
Lingju asked Cao Cao, "What was the purpose of the Great King's lifelong conquest?" ”
Cao Cao said: "In this land, everyone must serve in the military, unite as one, persevere, and one day the world will return to us." ”
Lingju said, "The world of Lingju is to follow the people you care about and seek a good home." ”
Cao Cao said, "The best destination is dust." ”
Lingju asked, "Since it will eventually return to dust, what about the world?" ”
Cao Cao said, "What about winning the world?" In the world, flesh and bones are no longer separated, and people are no longer in strife. ”
Lingju said, "Flesh and bones are no longer separated, and people are no longer in strife with each other, isn't this the place in Lingju's heart?" But why do you have to trade conspiracy and your life for it? ”
The chancellor asked Emperor Xian of Han to issue a decree to kill Cao Cao. A group of assassins went to assassinate Cao Cao unsuccessfully, and Empress Fu Shi was forced to die by Cao Cao, and after Paying was dismembered by five horses, some people applauded from the audience. Lingju, who was watching on the stage, said, "In such a cruel and inhuman scene, how could someone still clap and applaud?" ”
The maid said, "This is not an ordinary sinner, he is a great sinner who wants to assassinate the King of Wei, and of course the people hate him to death." ”
Lingju asked, "Why?" ”
The maid said, "If today is divided and the soldiers are in chaos, the slave maids don't know anything else, they only know that there is food to eat and a house to live in, which is a great happiness, and in Yecheng, these are all given by the King of Wei." ”
At this moment, Ling Ju realized that he was wrong, and that the assassination of Cao Cao was not the will of the people, but the selfish intentions of some people.
Mu Shun stabbed Cao Cao again, and Mu Shun stabbed Cao Cao, but Mu Shun did not want to kill Cao Cao, because he knew that only Cao Cao could protect Lingju, and Cao Cao also knew that the person in Lingju's heart was Mu Shun. Mu Shun disguised himself as Cao Cao and fled, luring away the other Assassins. Lingju jumped from the high platform to assassinate Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao turned back, he found that it was Mu Shun. It was too late to take it, and mu shun was injured. The two rode on horseback and Mu Shun closed his eyes halfway through.
On the edge of the cliff, Cao Cao rushed to say, "You have many opportunities to kill me." ”
Lingju said, "Since you know my identity, why do you want to stay with me?" ”
Cao Cao said: "Life is like a white colt passing through the gap, the blink of an eye has reached the twilight of the year, you are still young, the heart is still simple, follow me back, Ju'er." ”
Lingju turned to his horse, lay on Mu Shun's body, and jumped off the cliff on horseback. That's the end of the film.
Su Youpeng grasped the point of a generation of waste emperors who were extremely depressed and acted extremely obedient and debauched, Qiu Xinzhi's fierce Cao Pi, Liu Yifei had a breakthrough, and Fa Ge's performance held the whole scene as always, especially the desolate back that was the most memorable. The drama is also remarkable, the storyline is in line with history, describing human nature, when the desire for power overcomes the heart, people become terrible beasts, regardless of family, friendship, love. If you insist on going your own way, you will only lose both in the end. When Cao Cao's suspicion saved himself countless times, why don't we admire this controversial historical figure in our hearts, perhaps his suspicion is self-preservation, but also a kind of wisdom and strategy. Emperor Xian of Han also understood that he could not sit in Jiangshan, even if he killed Cao Cao and held all the power in the palm of his hand, he still could not hold Jiangshan and could not make the ministers happy and convinced. Only under the protection of Cao Cao, a generation of male lords, can he live a worry-free life.
In fact, it is the same in daily life, only by clearly understanding our own strengths and weaknesses, and seeing ourselves clearly, can we understand what we can have and what we need.
