River Patrol Cannon (Xun He Pao) vs River Chariot
A gentle Central Cannon setup where the left cannon advances just to the river, ready to defend or exchange. Great for beginners who want a safe, flexible start.

Red plays 车一平二 then 车二进四 to patrol the river too.
Strategic Context
River Patrol Cannon trades early aggression for control of the river line, making it easy to steer into many transpositions.
