Plum Flower Manual by Wang The modern day ECCO tag(s) for this volume include d24.

Volume 4 is dedicated to the same direction cannons, whereby red uses the filed chariot to win black's ranked chariot variation. The games are similar to the ones in the Secret in the Tangerine.

The moves that Red makes are quite lovely. An excellent read to continue from where you left off in the Tangerine manual!
Although there are quite a few variations in the boards, they are not as complex as the previous ones and easily understood, so I have added them all to one page.
These games may seem crude by today's standards, but they are the backbone and basis of modern-day opening theory.

And as in the previous games, the kills are spectacular! Enjoy!
