Xin and Zheng entrust their escape to young Diao, who knows a secret way out of Heibei Village. Xin still blames Zheng for Piao's death, and even as this simmering conflict boils over, a new and deadly pursuer takes up the chase.

Fleeing pursuit, Zheng and Xin struggle with exhaustion and with each other. When they reach the appointed meeting site, there's no sign of Zheng's sole supporter, Lord Changwen . . . and the murderous tracker Mu Ta is hot on their trail.

Xin, who's vowed in the name of his own ambitions to help the King, must singlehandedly face the treacherous assassin Mu Ta. Meanwhile, General Wang Yi brings a piece of tribute to the Court that seems to spell the end for all young King…

Xin hears a tale of Piao's heroism during Wang Yi's ambush, but he also learns that King Zheng has even fewer allies than he'd been told. With little time left to forestall a civil war, Zheng decides on a dangerous path, to seek out…

Zheng, Xin, and their companions arrive at the gates of Xianyang, capital of the Qin Kingdom, with a force far too small to assault such a great fortress. A stratagem may get them inside the walls, but they won't reach the Royal Court…

Blocked by Wei Xing's elite crossbowmen, the forces of Zheng and the mountain folk split up. Xin accompanies a smaller force to seek out the usurper Cheng Jiao in the palace... but their way, too, is blocked, by the deadly assassin Zuo Ci…

Xin, Bi, and the breakaway force, fighting to reach the throne room, face the seemingly invincible Zuo Ci in the "Right-Side Dragon" corridor, while outside, the King and Lord Changwen hold out against Si Shi and Wei Xing.

Xin's first true campaign as a soldier comes at last, but when Wei makes a surprise move, the battle doesn't go as he expected.

The battle heats up as Wei's forces bring out their trump card. This isn't going to be a fair fight--but luckily, Xin isn't looking for one.

The Fourth Army's victory against the chariots gives Lord Biao an idea. How far can he push behind enemy lines if the infantry's survival is no object?

Just when it seems the battle on the She Gan Plain is finally going their way, Qin's forces are suddenly surprised by the advent of three generals: their own, the enemy's... and one who's not even supposed to be there!

Xin has his very first conversation with a true general, and Wu Qing of Wei and Lord Biao of Qin are finally batting each other in earnest.

Lord Biao and Wu Qing are both fighting all-out, and whoever wins this one-on-one battle also wins the war.

Xin learns some things about Qiang Lei's past, and Diao has to make an important decision about the future.

When Xin approaches Wang Yi looking for a mentor to make him stronger, he discovers that the great general doesn't make things easy.

Just as Qin is successfully waging war with one of its neighboring kingdoms, Han, another neighbor makes its own attack against Qin.

Xin and his comrades march into battle together again, this time under the command of the great general Wang Yi. Meanwhile, the Royal Court begins to suspect that Wang Yi has his own ulterior motive for taking on this particular battle.

The battle against Zhao is underway, and both sides have tricks up their sleeves. In recognition of Xin's growth as a commander, Wang Yi gives his squadron a special mission that could determine the outcome of the war.

The Fei Xin Force is up against a brilliant tactician in their very first mission. Xin and his men may be good, but is Feng Ji better?

Xin has his first taste of fame, and Wu Meng is back to leading the Qin offensive. Will it go the same way as the last one, or does Wu Meng have a trick up his sleeve?

Wang Yi smells something fishy about Zhao's sudden retreat, but his endgame remains the same: find and kill Nuan Pang. Xin and Qiang Lei give him a little inadvertent help.

Nuan Pang is still unleashing the wrath of the gods on all around him, and at this point he seems almost untouchable. But this is the Fei Xin Force's camp, and they're not giving up without a fight.

The Fei Xin Force scatters, running deep into the mountains with Wan Ji in hot pursuit. This time they're on a self-assigned mission: protect their leader at all costs.

The original 100-man Fei Xin Force is down to 36 men, and Zhao's generals are closing in. However, morning has dawned, and Wang Yi is on the move.

King Zheng Ying receives some disturbing news about Zhao's forces, Diao and Meng Yi learn the true identities of their fellow spectators, and the war begins to take a new turn.

Wang Yi and Nuan Pang begin their showdown at last. Meanwhile, Lord Changwen tells Zheng the truth about Liao.

Nine years ago, Wang Yi, Lord Changwen, and Liao shared a secret with the King that altered the course of one woman's life and death.

The plot to slay Wang Yi takes a turn no one was expecting.

As the war between Qin and Zhao comes to an end, the Middle Kingdom witnesses the dawn of a new era.

Former servant Xin now commands 300 troops in the formidable Fei Xin Force--and the big battle he's itching for may be right around the corner.

Zhao's master tactician Li Mu is forced into negotiations with Qin's crafty Lü Buwei. What will the outcome mean for the future of their kingdoms?

Xin confronts Li Mu, the man who orchestrated Wang Yi's battlefield defeat, while Diao touches base with Kaine. Zheng reveals his future plans.

Xin gets a lead on a big battle that could propel him up the ranks to general, but soon learns he's not the only young, ambitious warrior around.

As the Fei Xin and Yu Feng Forces play at one-upmanship, Si Shi proposes a surprising potential ally in Zheng's power struggle with Lü Buwei.

Zheng's supporters discuss the pros and cons of bringing the Queen Dowager onto their side, while Zheng takes matters into his own hands.

Zheng tells Xiang about his days as a young hostage in Zhao, and about the unexpected people called upon to get him safely back to the Kingdom of Qin.

The flashback to young Zheng's escape from hostile Zhao to his Qin homeland reveals the startling effects of the mental and physical abuse he'd endured.

Zheng's flashback shows the lengths to which a black marketeer was willing to go to make sure he got home and became King of Qin, against all odds.

As Zheng and his supporters await word from the Inner Palace, the Queen Dowager reveals where her allegiances lie. Xiang is put in a tight spot.

Xiang struggles to bring Zheng some shocking news. The Qin army mounts its offensive against Wei's Gaolang Castle, but is Xin in over his head?

An assassin is picking off Qin's thousand-man commanders! Xin encounters a formidable young man who sees promise in the scrappy Fei Xin leader.

Lian Po gives his reasons for returning to the battlefield. A chance meeting in the dead of night could have a major impact on Xin's military career.

Xin settles into his new position as the Qin army prepares for a battle that could change the face of China. Qiang Lei discusses her plans with Xin.

The battle at Shanyang is underway. Xin and his fellow temporary thousand-man commanders must face the fearsome Lian Po--and the deadly Lun Hu.

As Wang Ben and the Yu Feng Force do battle with Lun Hu, the Fei Xin Force is called into battle. A devious strategy takes the Qin army by surprise.

The Qin army is at a standstill in their battle against Wei--until Qiang Lei devises a workaround. Will her idea be enough for them to claim victory?

Meng Ao's lieutenant Huan Yi takes the battlefield with some real tricks up his sleeve. The Wei army must scramble to beat him at his own game.

After Huan Yi's masterstroke, Meng Tian suggests the Le Hua, Yu Feng, and Fei Xin Forces team up in the hopes of leaving their own mark on history.

Meng Tian skillfully brings all three special forces together in his plan to eliminate Lun Hu, but will the shrewd assassin fall prey to his scheme?

Bi gets a surprise visit and a new role in the battle against Wei, while Wang Ben and Xin fight against time to put an end to the masterful Lun Hu.

Lieutenant Wang Jian's plot comes to fruition with help from the skillful Commander Bi, but the battle--and the battle of wits--is far from over.

Lian Po judges Wang Jian's worth as a commander, while a badly injured Xin returns to camp. The end of the Shanyang Offensive is in sight at last.

The Le Hua, Yu Feng, and Fei Xin Forces find themselves bringing up the rear in the final battle. Lian Po makes a daring move to get the ball rolling.

Meng Ao reveals a surprising strategy for taking on Lian Po in hopes of finally claiming victory over his rival. Xin's battle with Lun Hu intensifies.

Xin must cope with a grave injury in his fight to take Lun Hu's head. Lian Po continues his seemingly unstoppable march on Meng Ao's main camp.

As his battle with Lun Hu ends, Xin remembers the people he met along his path. Jie Zifang's men launch a brutal attack against the wounded Qiang Lei.

It's a showdown between Meng Ao and Lian Po as the mighty generals face each other for the first time in forty years. Will Meng Ao have his revenge?

Meng Ao encourages Lian Po to leave the past behind and embrace a new era. Bai Guixi gets an unexpected visitor that could turn the tables on Wei.

With the Shanyang Offensive over, Lian Po shares with Xin a sure way of achieving great fame and glory. Qiang Lei prepares to leave the Fei Xin Force.

Despite the recognition Xin receives after the Shanyang Offensive, the Fei Xin Force just hasn't been the same. Perhaps a new tactician is in order...

The Fei Xin Force is eyeing tactician He Liao Diao with great distrust, but who else can think up a way to deal with the latest wave of Wei attackers?

He Liao Diao pulls out all the stops in a strategy meant to shut down Wei troops bent on revenge for the Fei Xin Force's fierce battle at Shanyang.

Zhao makes a surprising move, while the Fei Xin Force makes a discovery. Back in Xianyang, Zheng reveals a trump card in the Court's power struggle.

Zheng approaches his stepbrother for help ousting Lü Buwei. The Fei Xin Force fights to defend a tiny country and stumbles onto something huge.

New ministers take positions in the Royal Court, and Xiang has big news for Zheng. Xin sees a potential problem as a way to get closer to his goal.

All's quiet in the kingdom of Qin until not one, but three armies attack--and, as a steady stream of messengers reveals, that's just the half of it.

Cai Ze gets a royal audience in hopes of using diplomacy to save Qin. Xin tags along with Lord Biao's army. Lord Changping works to find a solution.

Qin sends its troops to defend Hangu Pass, sole gateway to the kingdom. An impressive array of military might is on display as the battle kicks off.

Lord Biao's army finds itself in a bad situation soon after fighting begins. The Wei army brings in equipment that has Zhang Tang rolling his eyes.

As the Wei army tackles the mighty Hangu Pass, the allied army of Meng Wu and Teng are battling the Chu army--and there are old scores to be settled.

Xiang Yi brings out his favorite weapon: a legendary sword. Teng takes on the fierce Chu general Lord Linwu. Xin faces a Zhao army with a grudge.

The horrors of Changping nearly two decades ago have spurred Wan Ji and his army to seek revenge against Qin, with Xianyang slated for annihilation.

A new commander takes over Chu's second army, bringing along a new strategy and a lot of confusion. The grotesque Cheng Hui of Han makes his move.

Rumors about Qin reach Qiang Lei on her journey. Li Mu calculates the best time to strike, and the Battle of Hangu Pass reaches its turning point.

Teng makes a bold decision when his army finds themselves in a bind. Cheng Hui's move pays off. Wei's Wu Fengming has another trick up his sleeve.

As Cheng Hui's poison courses through Zhang Tang's body, the mighty Qin general takes advantage of Huang Yi's cunning strategy and enters the fray.

Qin general Wang Jian seemingly vanishes, army and all, mid-skirmish with Wu Lu Duo and the Yan army. Chu's newest commander goes after Teng's head.

Meng Wu repeats his daring echelon sweep against Chu, but with a twist. Chu's massive Han Ming faces off against Meng Wu in a battle for the ages.

Wa Lin devises a way to hurry along the generals' duel. Li Mu and Lord Chunshen discuss a new strategy, while Wa Lin shows her hand at long last.

The Qin army is riding high when Wa Lin's elites arrive at Hangu Pass. An unpredictable Qin general steps in to assist. Diao is cautiously optimistic.

The royal capital of Xianyang is feeling the heat as outpost after outpost falls in the south of Qin. The most ominous question: Where has Li Mu gone?

Qin's Lord Biao confronts Li Mu at the center of his clever whirlpool trap, where he meets a savage warrior with a history of battling great generals.

Xianyang is in disarray as Li Mu's army approaches and King Zheng goes missing. Qin formulates a strategy around a southern outpost--its last hope.

It's up to King Zheng to convince the people of Zui to fight, defending Xianyang and Qin itself. Li Mu's arrival makes them second-guess themselves.

The first day of any battle is a high hurdle to clear, even without civilian troops. Li Mu employs unique tactics overnight to gain the upper hand.

Xin's training with Qiang Lei comes in handy at Zui. Zheng continues to rally the civilian and veteran troops--until something goes terribly wrong.

The castle town of Zui is struggling to stand strong in their drawn-out battle, suffering serious setbacks that put Li Mu on the path to victory.

Reinforcements arrive for Qin, and not a moment too soon. But even the most ferocious mountain warriors are no match for one of Zhao's Three Greats.

An exhausted Xin draws on what remains of his strength to face Pang Nuan. The end of the war with the coalition army is in sight, but at what cost?

The country of Qin celebrates its victory in its capital Kanyou, with a ceremony rewarding the warriors who have distinguished themselves in a notable way against the coalition. On the other hand, Kyou Kai, who left the Hi Shin unit to…

Tunliu rises in a revolt against the rulers of Qin--one with Cheng Jiao at its center. Old friends reunite as they're deployed to quell the uprising.

Pu Ge reveals his scheme, but doesn't take the bigger, better Fei Xin Force into account. Cheng Jiao takes a gamble as he faces the fight of his life.

A wounded Cheng Jiao confronts Pu Ge, then has a heart-to-heart with Liu Yi and shares words of wisdom with Xin as the fighting in Tunliu subsides.

Xin and Wang Ben are summoned to assist General Teng in a complex battle with Zhao, but Zhao's star general has some monumental aces up his sleeve.

As Wang Ben tangles with master spearsman Zi Bai, Ling Huang gives Wu Fengming and his officers insight into his fellow Fire Dragon's past and psyche.

The three Qin units prepare for the climactic third day of their coordinated assault on Wei's main camp in Zhuyong, with each facing a formidable foe.

There is only half a day left for the Hi Shin unit to reach Go Houmei's HQ. The strategists of both camps, Karyo Ten and Junsou, will be able to measure their talent.

Xin finds himself trapped as the simultaneous triple-strike comes together; Wei's unsuspecting main camp panics with the three Qin armies closing in.

Zhao's military minds ponder the aftermath of the Battle at Zhuyong. A powerful figure visits the Royal Court to stake a claim on the new Qin outpost.

The plans of the Queen Mother and her lover Lao Ai soon come to light: the foundation of a new state, within Qin itself. The affront is such that it calls for a response equal to it.

Wang Ben and Xin are rewarded for their actions in Zhuyong as Ai grows ever stronger. Lao Ai reflects on the path his life has taken to this point.

Ai's foreign-backed chancellor puts the Queen Dowager in an impossible position as Zheng prepares for the crowning ceremony in Qin's ancient capital.

Qin army high commander Lord Changping shows what he's made of on the battlefield with an all-or-nothing maneuver meant to immobilize Duke Rongdi.

Lao Ai, the man who orchestrated the uprising, must finally reap what he's sown. The Queen Dowager makes a last-ditch plea at her lover's hearing.

The rebels and masterminds behind Ai's uprising meet their fates--or rather, most of them do. Zheng discusses his vision for Qin's future with Xin.

Qin goes right back to the battlefield. Wa Lin is tapped to help the troubled nation of Chu. The young commanders discuss the next Six Great Generals.
