Mạch Điền | Wheat (2009)
Mạch Điền is set against the backdrop of the famous Trường Bình battle in the history of the Warring States period, but the story mainly takes place in a small fortress of the Triệu kingdom. The lord of the fortress and his brave soldiers go to battle against the army of the Qin kingdom, leaving behind only the elderly, women, and children. The responsibility of guarding the fortress and overseeing the harvest falls on Lady Lệ, the newlywed wife of the lord.
At this time, two men suddenly appear, arousing curiosity among all the women. Everyone wants to know where they come from and if they have any information about the war. They are both former soldiers, with Hạ being a skilled warrior who has participated in many major battles and achieved great success. He has a wish to return home and help his family with the wheat harvest. Triếp, on the other hand, is a cowardly soldier who clings to Hạ as his companion. Being pursued by Qin spies, they follow the river and end up in the Triệu fortress, falling into the hands of the women. In order to survive, they claim to be from the Triệu kingdom and fabricate a story about a Triệu victory, which everyone believes. A celebration feast is organized to commemorate the supposed triumph.
With the defeat of the Triệu army, it is time for them to proclaim a new king and call everyone to pay homage. If they refuse, the captured Triệu child will be killed as a threat. At this critical moment, the two former soldiers help the women drive away the bandits and assist in the harvest. Their actions earn them praise as heroes in troubled times. However, their deceit is eventually exposed, just as the Qin army arrives at the fortress...
