I don't own DW or any of its characters

WOE- I think it will surprise or maybe not, true they start of far away, but that may change.

Sideways- No prob, your stuff is really good, so people go read stuff from sideways, also I like Ma Teng as well, hey there is a key Wei character in, he one that will be in the next game.

Xu Shu was standing at the front a a base camp, on a large hill, looking down at the sight below him, below him where two armies, one a combination of yellow and Teal, and the other purple, and black. He had planed out everything that was going to take place on that day, and already knew the outcome of the battle. This did make him not want to watch it, but in fact make him want to watch his soon to be triumph even more. On the field where combined armies of Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang. The two had been force to ally, even thought they barley could stand each other, because each knew if they did they would stand no chance. On the other side was the combine force of his 75,000 troops he took from Jing, and Teng's 125,000.

The plan from the start was to get the two out of Han Zhong to fight in the open. It was a easy trick to pull, all he had to do was, send a insult to Zhang Lu, who had a bit of a temper, about him. The following day he found reports that Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang where both on the move. He then had a messenger captured on purpose with information that Yan Yan was going to defect in the middle of the battle. When Yan Yan heard the news he was forced to leave Liu Zhang side, and Xu Shu was able to talk him into join with him. Shu wonder though what his lord would do when he heard the news of the victory, one of the ground terms was the splitting of Yi province between Qian and Teng, and the special condition which he was unsure how his lord would react too.

"It was for the good of the land, he will have to agree to it, but I just hope he does not get to mad at me," Shu said thinking back to the backroom deal with Teng.

-Flashback-

Shu looked at the lord nervously, unsure what the condiction he would want would be. Would he want one of his son to be the heir to Qian, or a joint government, Shu mind went over ever possible answer, before he said, "Lord Teng, what would this condition be."

Teng waved a young woman in, she was without a doubt beautiful, she was tall with a fine body, she had long black hair, and brown eyes, she wore a thin silver head band with a feather in the front.

Teng smiled as she walked into the room, "I have unable to find a man worthy of marriage for my daughter, if you want this alliance, Lord Qian must agree to marry my daughter."

"Of course he will, I speech with his full power and blessing, and I accept the marriage for him," Shu said confidently as to convince Teng.

Teng was quiet for a second, and then said, "Good, the deal is done, you're a shroud man, Xu Shu, I am glad we are fighting as enemies."

Shu walked up to the lady, and smiled, "Um ma'am it a honor to meet you."

"As it is for me, I am Ma Yun Lu, can you tell me what this Lord Qian is like," she said with a curious tone.

The rest of the night, Shu spent telling her everything he knew about Qian, the Yun Lu seemed to be full of lots of question for Shu.

-End of Flashback-

Shu looked over the generals on his side, Teng had his sons, and Pang De as well. De was one heck of a warrior, one who was maybe even a match for the great Guan Yu. The force under his command where not wimps either, Liu Pi was in charge of the battle was it went, the former turban had proved a excellent commander of troops, and Shu was glad he had someone who could do the thinks he though up on the battlefield.

The battle start quickly De, and Pi used a coordinated charge on key point in the enemy line, followed up by one of the Ma's, and Yan Yan. Shu looked to see which Ma it was, and was more then shocked to find it to be the female Ma. Shu shook his head wonder how doomed he was.

"She can fight that is for sure, sometime, I think she is at least Dai's equal," Teng said walking up with a smile.

"She sure is something, that is for sure," Shu said quietly to himself.

The battle ended soon, and both Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang fully surrender all of there lands. Soon after the battle Lady Ma came up to Shu.

"So when do I leave," she asked.

"Go get Pi, tell him to get a group of men ready, you can leave as soon as you want," Shu said.
