At the end of the Qin Dynasty, many rivals are fighting for the throne. Among them, two good friends Lau Bong and Hong Yue are the most renowned. Yue’s only ambition is to overthrow Qin. But, he ends up committing suicide at the Wujiang River. In contrast, Bong is from the lower class and has no political ambition at all. Ironically, he conquers the country. Their different endings suggest that personality determines one’s success, rather than the times or fate. Although Yue has many good helpers, including Fan Tsang, Ying Po his uncle Hong Leung and cousin Hong Chong, his arrogance drives them away one by one. On the other hand, Bong makes good use of his human resources. Many good warriors and intelligent politicians, like Hon Shun, Cheung Leung, Chan Ping, Siu Ho and Fan Fai, devote their life to him. There is always a beauty behind a hero. Bong’s wife Lui Chihelps him immensely. She has a desire for fame……

When the villagers from nearby villages hear that BONG has killed a county official and rebels against the empire, they follow suit and swear to follow him. When the army is growing, BONG realises that once the insurrections begin, deaths and injuries will occur, so he tries to convince the people to return their hometowns with an excuse of insufficient supplies. His warm-hearted suggestion, however, moves the followers and they are even more determined to stay. BONG understands that the people can only live a better life if the QIN’s empire is overthrown. Fighting over battles is inevitable……

He learns it from LADY YUE later that the CHU’s armies are approaching the Xianyang Palace. HOI interrogates KO, but KO has him killed first. YUE learns that the QIN’s armies refuse to surrender and are prepared to fight against him, so he has the QIN’s soldiers killed to control the situation. This, however, causes panic across the country. All the citizens fight hard against him, which delays his plan to take down Xianyang. On the contrary, BONG treats the citizens kindly, so all the cities he passes by surrender to him. He goes straight to Xianyang with no resistance.

Nov 10, 2004
BONG has no plan to enter Xianyang at first. However, he cannot stand FAI and HO’s nagging, so he gets through the gate eventually. When he is in the palace, he decides to become king after seeing the QIN dynasty’s glory and its uncountable wealth. HO reminds BONG that if he wants to rule the country, he cannot take a penny. He also advices BONG that if he is to will the hearts of the people, he is to make a pledge with them, to rule by Three Agreements, and to burn all Qin Laws. YUE is angry and swears to kill BONG when he learns that BONG has broken his promise. LADY YUE meets YUE again with SHUN’s help. They are so long for each other.

Nov 11, 2004
During the meal, BONG explains to YUE that he did not mean to take Xianyang. He did so only because of the circumstances forced him to. He is willing to give everything back to him. YUE is moved by BONG’s sincerity and does not bear to kill him. LEUNG advises BONG that the best way to defeat YUE is to disperse his troops. BONG therefore persuades YUE to proclaim himself Hegemonial King of West Chu and honoured KING HUAI as Emperor Yee, which is a dummy emperor. He also proposes to YUE that he should appoint eighteen feudal kings, which nevertheless leads to conflicts among them. Meanwhile, YUE takes out the treasures from the imperial tomb and gives them to the feudal kings as rewards, which causes complaints among the QIN’s people. Later, YUE wipes out every descendant of the Qin royal clan and officials to prevent future troubles……
Nov 12, 2004
BONG begs YUE to let him stay in Xianyang. When BONG changes his mind later, YUE is outraged. CHI pleases LADY YUE deliberately and calls her sister. She hopes that LADY YUE can help to persuade YUE to send BONG away. YUE agrees to let BONG go, but he demands BONG to leave his children, parents, brother and sister-in-law behind as hostages. BONG has no choice but agrees. TSANG, who has always believed that LADY YUE is a femme fatale, has never liked her. She, nevertheless, does not mind at all and tries hard to please him instead. Seeing that BONG is not in power now, his army has decided to desert. BONG is upset about the desertion. CHI is there to cheer him up and promises to help him start anew. BONG is deeply impressed. When BONG arrives in Bazu, he follows LEUNG’s instruction to set fire to the plank way. LEUNG’s reason in doing so is to show YUE that BONG has no intention of going back east and thus YUE’s suspicion can be quelled……
Nov 15, 2004
LEUNG is gathering learned men for BONG. He finds SHUN a military genius and so tries hard to persuade SHUN to leave CHU for HAN. SHUN leaves Xianyang for Bazu successfully with PING’s help. He follows LEUNG’s instruction to meet HO at the Talent Recruitment Centre. HO is amazed by his talent and recommends him to BONG. However, BONG learns that SHUN used to crawl under someone’s crotch and so despises him. He only appoints SHUN Grain Supply Lieutenant to supervise granary. TSANG advises YUE to stay in Xianyang. However, LEUNG provokes him by saying that if he has glory and fortune but doesn’t go back to his native place, it is like walking in the dark in finery – no one will see it. Together with the fact that LADY YUE is homesick, YUE sends TSANG to persuade SUM to move the capital and let YUE base in Pengcheng. SHUN comes with a solution “In with the new, out with the old” in organizing stock and has put the granary in a fine order……

HO swears to BONG that he will leave with SHUN if he does not appoint SHUN any important tasks. BONG asks SHUN how he plans to lead them out of Bazu as the plank way has been burned now. SHUN tells him the plan he has come up with, which is to fix the road on the surface while going through Chencang Footpath secretly. BONG believes now that SHUN really is a rare find as his idea is exactly the same as what LEUNG has written in a sachet he has left behind. BONG names SHUN Supreme Marshal and builds a Marshal Altar to honour him. FAI is annoyed that SHUN is appointed without any contribution. When he complains to BONG, he is punished. As soon as YUE has settled in Pengcheng, he announces that he will marry LADY YUE and name her queen. TSANG wants to stop him but fails……
Nov 17, 2004
YUE has set the three Qin kings, including CHEUNG HON, at Bazu’s exit. SHUN orders FAI to fix the road which requires at least three years to finish so as to make YUE believe that BONG can never come out soon. SHUN’s idea is to divert the three Qin Kings’ attention so that BONG can leave with his soldiers along some dirt tracks. CHEUNG HON is surrounded by BONG’s army, which is under SHUN’s order. SHUN admires CHEUNG HON’s talent and persuades him to leave CHU for HAN. However, CHEUNG HON would rather kill himself than surrender. CHEUNG HON commits suicide not long after. The HAN’s army has reached Xianyang. YUE is enraged and wants to fight back. However, TSANG stops him and asks him to wait for the right moment.
