Synopsis :

Meng Huo sends his brother, Meng You, to Zhuge Liang's camp to lavish them with gifts. But his real intention is to launch an attack from within. However, Meng You and their soldiers are soon drugged by Zhuge Liang. Meng Huo is tricked into entering the Shu Camp, after which he is ambushed and captured for the third time. He blames it on the gluttony of his brother and refuses to submit. Zhuge Liang decides to release him again. Meng Huo, upset at having been captured thrice, goes back and borrows an army of ten thousand warriors to launch an attack. After crossing the river with the poisonous fumes, Zhuge Liang prepares for the coming of the Mang soldiers by protecting their camp with a moat and a floating bridge with three large stockades. Meng Huo comes and launches a fierce attack. However, Zhuge Liang orders the army to retire within the stockades instead of launching an upfront attack.
