The Heroic Ones
Towards the end of the Tang dynasty, Li Ke-yung, ruler of Sha To State, and his thirteen sons, set out to suppress rebels that capture the Imperial capital, Changan. The youngest son, Li Tsun-hsiao (David Chiang), captures a rebel general. Another son, Li Tsun-hsin (Nan Kung-hsun), wants to lead the troops into storming the rebel stronghold. When his father is unwilling to trust him with this task and turns the responsibility over to Li Tsun-hsiao, the seeds of dissension are sown between the sons. This conflict breaks out in the open when the brothers disagree about the tactics, so Li Tsun-hsin and Kang Chun-li leave the attacking party.
