How to Get Zhang Fei and Guan Yu 5 Special Moves
During the first battle, the Battle of Xu (on expert level), have Guan Yu defeat Li Dian and then go attack their storehouse, which is located just past the upcoming bridge. You get lots of experiance when you destroy their supplies. After you do that, have Liu Bei lose on purpose to Xiahou Yuan. Repeat this alternating Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back and forth, until you get too strong so you cannot lose, even if you try. (Note: When it is Zhang Fei's turn he defeats Yue Jin.)
