      The sound of galloping hoofbeats shattered the evening's silence like the first roll of thunder disrupting the calm before the storm. The soldier steadied the horse as much as he was able before swinging one of two legs over the saddle to virtually leap off its back. Whatever his hurry might have been, the frantic look writ across his face spoke volumes, and it was enough to send him into a sprint. It was funny how similar such a scene resembled a particularly tragic part of his past--amusing if your sense of humour was rather morbid, to be sure--but it was all nearly identical, right down to the finest of details.

      He dashed through the darkened Shu capital of Chengdu with utmost haste, but was determined to remain light on his feet. Cloaked in neutral attire, Ma Dai moved around in the darkness until he reached his objective; the quarters of Shu's renown strategist. The blackness that engulfed the tactician's barracks dissipated and gave way to the tiniest of sparks, and a dim candle welcomed the harried courier. He was expected.

      Although Ma Dai was careful in his machinations to orchestrate such a visit, he felt himself overwhelmed. A sudden weight found itself upon his shoulders, and the burden he had already begun to bear years prior had become more of a ball and chain than motivation. Still, none of this was prevalent from the look on his face even within evening's shadows. He grinned and hid what plagued him, and continued to wear an emotional mask to conceal it all.

So we've now realized how this works and my understanding is it's actually a series of episode (somewhere around 3 or 4 but it varies) under a title/group (given letters) which add up to make a season. And some of them are missing,,. It makes more sense here.

I'm gonna have a masterlist in this post of the ones I've seen under the read more.

In a valley near the Wei-Shu border, a battle was waging between the two forces. It was a mere border skirmish with an overzealous Shu force with no officers of renown in their ranks contrary to who the Wei forces had. Despite having no formal plan and these odds stacked against him, their alacrity put the battle at even. Suddenly, reinforcements for the Wei soldiers in the form of a cavlary unit under Xiahou Ba's leadership. With this one single batch, the Shu troops were being routed now. After an one more hour of fighting, the remaining Shu forces had retreated. Despite his urges to chase them down and murder every last one of them, Zhongquan had to restrain himself from chasing them; it was a brash move and it had resulted in the death of many officers due withdrawals either being a trap or the pursuer getting too vigorous. Grasping his lance as hard as he could, he could only sigh. After the wounded had been gathered up and the dead buried, Xiahou Ba ordered the troops to retreat to Chencang, a small fortress but vital to the protection of Chang'an.

As the battered troops entered the fortress, much preparation has been taken place. It was a few months after the Wei forces had utterly crushed the Shu forces at Jieting during the massive Shu offensive. Xiahou Ba was able to fight in this battle and helped Zhang He secure victory over the impulsive Ma Su. Sadly, it wasn't a total victory over them since Wang Ping and Zhuge Liang had thwarted their efforts via clever tactics and stratagems. Nonetheless, it was still a great victory after the initial setbacks with the rebellions of the commanderies.
