Escape from Chibi

Escape from Chi Bi (赤壁逃亡戦) is the chase for Cao Cao's head after the Battle of Chi Bi. Suffering heavy losses from the Allied Forces' fire attack, Cao Cao listens to his vassals' advice to flee. He is pursued by the future emperors of the Three Kingdoms. In the games, the events during the stage somewhat mimic the Romance of the Three Kingdoms adaption.

Dynasty Warriors
The stage is Cao Cao's Legend Mode in Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends. He starts from the east-southern corner and needs to work his way upward. While his path is simple to navigate, he has Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao, and two other generals to guard him. However, since they learn that Guan Yu is guarding the exit ahead, Cheng Yu advises his lord to take advantage of the debt of kindness the general may want to properly fulfill. Ambushes from the Allied Forces's generals also await the Wei army, lead by Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others. As time passes Cao Cao may be reinforced by his other generals and the army's progress will quicken. When Guan Yu meets Cao Cao, the dignified warlord will remind the general about his present, Red Hare, and asks if the same gift will be used against him. To sever their ties for good, Guan Yu urges his steed aside and grants the Wei army passage.

Dynasty Warriors 5 revamps the map and allows players to fight with either side of the conflict. Wei's version of the stage remains relatively the same with a few minor additions. Cao Cao begins the stage with no generals present on the map and has a group of guards to protect him. As he runs through the curvy roads, he will be ambushed by a Shu general. If he routes his adversaries or reaches certain points of the map, his generals will gradually arrive for support. Some distance after Guan Ping's ambush, a ragged Cao Cao and his guards will encounter Guan Yu. Again, the two men do not fight and Guan Yu retreats after their meeting. Blocking his escape are Liu Bei and Sun Quan and they must be defeated to end the stage.

The Allied Forces version begins after Cao Cao and Guan Yu part ways. With the pursuing army beginning near the bottom left corner of the map, Cao Cao has a significant lead ahead in the hills. Wei generals will ambush the pursuing army as their lord progresses forward though he will occasionally pause if his forces continue to falter. Xiahou Dun appears by the western bridge and will blow it apart after his cousin passes.

Warriors Orochi
In Warriors Orochi, Wei Yan spots Goemon stealing treasures he received from Liu Bei and chases the thief.

Dynasty Tactics
A reenact of this stage appears in a cinematic with Cao Cao and Guan Yu in Dynasty Tactics. After his defeat from Chi Bi, Cao Cao and a handful of his tired men meet the Shu general while marching through a rainstorm. Lightning illuminates Guan Yu's visage and, despite his men's protests, Cao Cao bids the general to finish him. Instead Guan Yu turns away, saying he has no other reason to be kind to his former lord and allows the entourage to pass. The fleeing liege expresses his thanks to Guan Yu's back and slowly pass by. In Wei's version of the scene, Cao Cao marvels at his good fortune some distance away and revives his ambitions for conquest. Shu's version of the scene ends with Guan Yu on his knees after Cao Cao passes, apologizing to his brother for giving into his honor.
