Episode 62
grand chief song-Yang would like to speak to general ju-mong.
Where?
In our headquarters. He wants you to come by yourself.
Song-Yang is a crafty man.
Maybe he's trying to kill you because he knows that he doesn't stand a chance?
Chief so seo-no is right.
Don't go.
Yes, biryu is no match for us anymore.
Song-Yang humiliated us before.
Let's just attack and wipe them out.
Even the biryu people
are jol-bon people whom we must take under our wings.
My father, commander hae mo-su, told me that I can't fulfill a great mission
if I can't even protect the one person next to me.
We are taking our first step to recover the vast land and glory of the old joseon.
Unifying jol-bon will pave the way for a new nation.
If we have to shed blood now,
then our road to our great mission will be covered in blood.
If my will is the same as the will of the gods, then the gods won't forsake us.
I will visit chief song-Yang.
Aren't you going to do something?
Are you going to sit around and wait until the general gets back?
What do you want me to do?
They may be up to something.
Let's follow him.
Let's talk to chief so seo-no.
Chief, send us to song-Yang's headquarters.
We'll protect the general if they try to harm him.
The general was firm in his decision, but I don't know if it was okay to let him go.
We'll follow him.
Following him may put him in more danger.
He promised song-Yang that he'll go there by himself.
If he breaks it, song-Yang can use that as an excuse to harm the general.
Wait for him.
Gyehru and the da-mul army will be in chaos
if something wrong happens to general ju-mong.
Are you sure about this?
No, because I know how cunning song-Yang is.
I'm scared and worried, too.
But I also have faith
that general ju-mong can make song-Yang surrender without a fight.
Like he came back alive during the war with yim-doon and Jin-beon,
the heavens will protect him.
Don't worry.
He'll be back safely.
I am ju-mong, the general of the da-mul army.
I'm here to see grand chief song-Yang.
You'll need to disarm yourself before you see the grand chief.
Get him!
The archers are ready.
We can kill him as soon as you give us an order.
Stop!
How reckless of you.
I didn't know you would really come here.
I'm reckless, but I know that you're not.
I came here unarmed by myself to keep my promise with you.
If you kill me, you'll have to face the da-mul army.
We don't know when the da-mul army will attack us.
- Keep an eye on them and guard the base. - Yes!
You became my stumbling block whenever I fought gyehru for my tribe.
I could kill you.
Why are you here?
I submitted to your request to show you that I don't want to fight biryu.
The gods do not want a bloody war.
Are you saying that the gods want me to give you biryu?
Biryu will never perish.
Biryu won't perish.
It will join the da-mul army in order to build a new nation and be its owner.
If you'll join me,
we can unify jol-bon and build a nation strong enough to beat the han.
Beat the han?
That's absurd.
The world mocks me for being favorable to the han,
but that's how I kept biryu and jol-bon going until now.
How long do you think the han will help you?
The han can't afford to help you anymore.
Their reinforcements to biryu have been wiped out.
It'll be foolish to ask for more help.
If you don't join me, you'll have to go to war with the da-mul army.
But if you do,
you can drive hyeon-to out and build a strong nation that can beat the han.
Don't be afraid of the han.
The da-mul army and I will defend the united jol-bon.
This is chosen by the gods.
Is anyone outside?
Yes, grand chief.
Bring them to me.
One cup is filled with wine and the other is filled with poison.
If you really are chosen by the gods, then you will escape the poison cup.
Are you afraid?
You don't have to be if you're chosen by the gods.
Try escaping the poison cup.
If you can, then I will do as you say.
Do you want to die?
There is no poison cup.
I think you're trying to test me.
If I'm wrong, then I'll die willingly.
You really are as brave as people say.
It's now time for you to decide.
Will you join me or go to war with the da-mul army?
How long are we supposed to wait?
I think the general should've been here a long time ago.
We should go to song-Yang's headquarters.
Chief!
The general is here!
What happened?
We have to wait for chief song-Yang's decision.
What?
Even gwanna and hwanna?
Forgive me.
Governor, let me ask you one more time.
- Look kindly upon biryu and me. - Send us reinforcements.
What are you talking about?
You can't even guard the tribes under your rule yet you expect reinforcements?
If you can't accept my proposition, then buyeo won't send reinforcements.
What should we do?
Do we have to surrender to ju-mong?
General, please come outside.
I will do as you say.
Hurray for jol-bon!
Hurray for the da-mul army!
What happened?
Chief.
What happened?
Grand chief song-Yang has decided to join general ju-mong.
I knew he'd make it happen.
I knew he'd make song-Yang surrender.
The general has asked us to send the news to gwanna and hwanna
for a unification ceremony for jol-bon.
Very well.
Very good!
Where are you going?
Give it to me.
Give what?
What?
Why don't you be a man and admit your loss?
You remember everything.
What are you guys doing?
We made a bet.
I said general ju-mong will make song-Yang surrender without a war
and this fool said we will go to war.
Arg... you can't say anything to these guys...
Gyehru and the da-mul army's fate were at stake!
And all you can do is make a bet?
You guys are so childish.
No wonder you're both old farts without a girl!
What?
Old farts without a girl?
You're...
You're right.
What are you talking about?
Ju-mong made song-Yang surrender?
They already had a war?
He convinced song-Yang to surrender without a war.
They will hold a unification ceremony with gwanna, hwanna, and yunna as well.
- Father! - Father!
Your majesty!
How is he?
Yes. He'll get up after some rest, but his anger is not easily tamed.
Ju-mong is strangling father.
You should think of a plan with the officers.
Very well.
Did song-Yang really surrender to ju-mong?
Yes. It's hard to believe, but it's true.
What was his majesty doing?
This wouldn't have happened if his majesty killed ju-mong earlier.
But this can be a chance for his royal highness dae-so to succeed the throne.
I'll talk it over with the officers.
Can't you think?
What's the use of taking the throne after buyeo perishes?
Don't make any disruption. Just come up with a plan.
Yes, I just...
Ma oo-ryeong.
What should we do?
Ju-mong is a threat.
What if buyeo really does perish?
There's only one way we can get out of this mess.
What is it?
We need the the han's help.
What?
His majesty will never try to side with the han.
That's why you need to take action.
This is the commander of royal guards.
His majesty would like to talk to you.
Your highness.
His majesty is sick in bed right now.
Please don't say anything that'll disturb his majesty.
Your majesty, she's here.
My lady.
My fears are starting to come true.
Ju-mong has made song-Yang surrender and unified jol-bon.
He'll soon try to take over buyeo.
Your majesty...
I'm scared.
I'm scared how ju-mong will attack buyeo,
and I'm scared of how that'll make you and me irreconcilable.
Your majesty, accept ju-mong as he is.
That's the only way for you and buyeo to survive.
I'm scared that my ties with you might end in vain like this.
Mother, how did you get out of your chamber?
I asked the commander of royal guards to to let me see Yuri after visiting his majesty.
Yuri.
Soya.
Yes, mother.
Ju-mong has unified jol-bon.
He's taking his steps towards building a new nation.
Your sufferings should end soon.
I know it's hard, but persevere.
Yes, mother.
The queen is looking for you.
Why does the queen want to see me?
The doctor has made the medicine that your majesty have requested.
Good.
This is sul-LAN.
Come in.
Have a seat.
I asked the doctor to make this medicine especially for you.
Take it each morning and evening.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.
You're the wife who needs to keep dae-so stable.
You must stay strong in order for buyeo to get out of this chaos.
Always be on the lookout for what dae-so needs.
Yes.
I have a favor to ask you.
- I must go to his royal highness's chamber. - Yes.
Your royal highness.
What brings you here?
I heard that song-Yang is now with ju-mong.
That's right.
You once criticized me and said ju-mong is the dragon that's ascending,
and I'm a python.
Like you said, I didn't do anything while he united jol-bon.
But this is a great opportunity for you.
An opportunity?
This only way for buyeo to solve this crisis is make an alliance with the han.
I'll ask my father.
You can initiate the alliance with the han.
This is the blood of general ju-mong and the chiefs of jol-bon.
Hurray for jol-bon!
This three-legged bird has been born again
with the blood of the da-mul army and jol-bon.
It will be the founding bird of our future nation.
It will one day soar over the old joseon's land
and drive hyeon-to out to build a new nation.
Remember, the da-mul army and jol-bon are now brothers and comrades.
From now on, the da-mul army and jol-bon will father the joseon refugees
and build a strong nation for ages!
Hurray for jol-bon!
Hurray for the da-mul army!
I heard you were looking for me.
- Bring them to me. - Yes.
Mother!
- Bu beo-no! - Bu beo-no!
His royal highness has sent food and silk to your family.
They won't starve anymore.
I should've looked after them earlier.
I will repay your kindness with my loyalty.
Bu beo-no!
Yes, your royal highness.
You know the situation buyeo is in right now.
I'll give you a chance to do something great for buyeo.
Sneak into gyehru and kill ju-mong.
Ju-mong is accepting all the refugees who enter gyehru.
You won't get caught if you disguise yourself as a refugees.
Even an army couldn't kill ju-mong.
If you do, then you will be recognized as a national hero.
Your entire family will be nobles.
I will protect your family until you come back.
If you turn your back on us, your family will be in danger.
I knew that ju-mong wasn't to be taken lightly,
but I didn't know he'd be this great.
But I didn't know he'd be this great.
He unified jol-bon.
Don't be envious of ju-mong.
You should think of a way to become great yourself.
You fool!
There's nothing to do here!
Why don't you visit Chang'an with me?
Why would I want to go to Chang'an?
Your highness, asking the han for help is the only way for buyeo to survive.
Your highness have a great asset in Chang'an.
I do.
Think of a way to utilize the people you know in Chang'an.
You're right.
I have to go to Chang'an.
General!
What's going on?
Mo pal-mo, what is going on?
We developed an armor that arrows cannot Pierce.
What?
Put it on.
Yes.
General! There isn't even a trace of the arrow's head.
That is amazing!
What's wrong?
The da-mul army is an offensive army that attacks secretly.
This armor is too heavy for us.
I didn't get a chance to inspect the weight.
I apologize.
Don't be discouraged. We've overcome a hurdle by developing an armor that cannot be pierced.
I promise that I will make a lighter armor that will help you attack more effectively.
Aigoo... so this is where everyone went.
Yeon ta-bal is looking for you.
What's the matter?
Come with me.
Where?
You'll find out.
Manager sa-yong. Where are we going?
Where am I?
This palace is for a new nation the da-mul army and jol-bon are going to build.
I prepared this for a long time,
for the day the da-mul army and jol-bon build a new nation.
This place is huge!
- This palace is just as majestic as the buyeo palace! - Yes.
Chief song-Yang must've kept a careful watch on you.
How did you build a palace?
It was so seo-no.
The chief spent great riches on building this palace.
We wouldn't have completed this palace
if the chief wasn't determined to prepare for the future.
Now that we have united jol-bon,
we must lay the foundations and nest the three-legged bird here.
In order to unite the able men of the da-mul army and jol-bon,
we must reorganize the cabinet members.
We even need to come up with a new name for our nation.
We must listen to each chief's opinion.
Please get their opinions by holding a meeting.
I understand.
We will unite the military structure of the da-mul army and jol-bon.
Oh-yi, hyeop-Bo, mu-gol and muk-guh.
Get the numbers on the army size of the five tribes.
We still haven't discussed the most important matter.
What do you mean?
We talked about this before.
Who's going to be the monarch?
Even when the troop's existence was at stake,
the chief gathered riches and built a palace.
The da-mul army will try to make general ju-mong the king,
but the chief laid the foundations for the nation.
She should be the queen.
You're the one who united jol-bon without going to war.
You should be the king.
You must settle this matter right now.
Chief so seo-no won't betray us.
How can you be so sure?
What?!
I'll take care of that matter.
Let's not talk about this for now.
General!
Come in.
I've been meaning to talk to you.
Goguryeo
this will be the name of our new nation after we drive hyeon-to out.
What do you think?
Goguryeo!
It means "the brightest and the highest nation in the world".
This is my desire to build the strongest and most prosperous nation under the sun
so that the people won't be tortured by starvation and war.
General.
Yes?
I want you to be the king of goguryeo.
I was too angry to forgive song-Yang.
I tried to go to war with biryu, but you told me that even biryu is part of our people.
If it wasn't for you,
we wouldn't pride ourselves in unifying jol-bon without a war.
I will follow your will to lay the foundation of goguryeo,
and proudly win back the vast land and glory of the old joseon.
I have faith that you will establish the nation I hope for.
It must've been a rough and long trip.
Long time no see.
Father.
His majesty is waiting for you. Let's go.
Have a seat.
I heard that more and more people are leaving buyeo.
It's sad, but half of the refugees who enter jol-bon are buyeo citizens.
If more people leave buyeo, then buyeo will perish.
The only way for buyeo to drive ju-mong out and respond to the da-mul army
and jol-bon is to make an alliance with the han.
Your majesty, he's right.
Buyeo and the han should join together
and ban all countries from trading with jol-bon.
If we ban trades, that'll be a crisis for ju-mong and jol-bon.
What do you think?
- Where are you from? - I'm from ok-jeo.
Go ahead.
- Where are these refugees from? - They're from ok-jeo.
- Ok-jeo? - Yes.
Everyone looks very shabby.
I'm glad you're here!
- Let them go in. - Yes.
Go ahead.
Wait.
Did you say that you're from ok-jeo?
Yes.
Go ahead.
What's wrong?
He looks familiar.
Oh, come on.
Why would you know someone from ok-jeo?
You probably have the wrong man.
Did you look into it?
More and more refugees are coming to gyehru.
We're giving them our provisions, but we don't have enough.
We can't accept any more refugees.
We can't give any more provisions.
I don't want to do this, but we can't accept any more refugees.
They walked thousands of li to come here in desperation. We can't turn them away.
I'll think of a way to solve the food problem.
Find what the refugees are capable of doing and give them a job.
- Yes. - Yes.
What's going on?
In ten days they're holding a competition to find talented people among us.
Even refugees like ourselves can hold an office if we have the talent.
Ready!
Shoot!
Next!
Ready!
Shoot!
Next!
Stop.
This is general ju-mong.
Pay your respects.
Where are you from?
I'm from ok-jeo.
You're a very talented fighter.
I used to the executive officer of the ok-jeo army.
Would you like to do a one-on-one?
If you'll let me.
Mu-gol.
Yes?
Why don't you fight him?
Okay.
That's enough.
What's your name?
My name is bu beo-no.
Appoint him as the executive officer of the Garrison headquarters.
Yes, sir.
If we don't get provisions soon
the newly unified cholbon...
Will disintegrate
any country which dares to trade with cholbon...
Will be attacked...
By the united forces of buyeo and han
ls there any way to overcome the ban?
The united forces of han and buyeo...
Have laid an ambushed there
manager is dead
the entire merchant band is exterminated
I did stab jumong...
And made sure that he's dead
did something happen around jumong'?
Could you divine it'?
The only way to overcome...
The ban on trade by buyeo and han...
And to obtain provisions...
Is to travel southwards
obtain provisions from the southern countries
