In the battle of Bagua formation, the allied forces of Sun and Liu defeated the spirit of Cao's army. Cao Cao (played by Zhang Fengyi) was worried about this. In addition, the soldiers in the north suffered from acclimatization and suffered heavy casualties, which made him suffer from headache. Fortunately, the maid Li Ji (played by Song Jia) accompanied and took care of him. Sun Shangxiang (played by Zhao Wei) disguised herself and sneaked into Cao's camp. With the help of the chief sergeant (played by Tong Dawei), she stole military information. In order to adapt to the water battle, Cao Cao adopted the opinions of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the surrendered generals of Jingzhou, and connected the warships with iron chains. After that, Jiang Gan (played by Shi Xiaohong), a counselor under Cao Cao's account, took the initiative to visit his old friend Zhou Yu (played by Tony Leung) to spy on the truth. Zhou Yu took advantage of the trick and leaked the military secrets under the pretext of being drunk, so that Jiang Gan brought back false information. Cao Cao was furious and killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun by mistake. Cao Cao threw the bodies of soldiers who died of plague into the river, calling them "ghost soldiers", in order to disrupt the morale of the Sun-Liu alliance. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao (Lin Chiling) decided to visit Cao's camp at night and persuade him to withdraw. Seeing that everything was ready, but the wind was not blowing, Zhou Yu sent Lu Su (Hou Yong) to seek help from Zhuge Liang (Takeshi Kaneshiro)...
