Huarong Pass puzzle with music accompaniment


Cao Cao and his army fled from the Battle of Red Cliffs via the Huarong Pass, a precariously long narrow road and marshlands area that was the only means of escape. Commander Gu Yu, who was guarding the exit was working on the side of Liu Bei, Cao Cao's chief rival.  Nevertheless, Gu Yu allowed Cao Cao to pass, possibly to repay an old kindness or debt to Cao Cao from a time when he served under Cao Cao.
