These walls are known to be over 50 feet tall. There are gates at all sides, and any traveler has to ask permission to access the city.

The air was dry as the sun.As the Gobi was to the west and the eastern ocean to the east,this city,this Tian Shui,lie directly in the middle.Tian Shui was once a base of nomads,tribes,and weak rulers; but now because of the virtuous leader of Zen,Ba Zeng, they have all collaberated to make one,large empire.With the Heavens above as their witness,Zen has prospered and flourished.One day though,on the outskirts of the capital of Zen, came a band of warriors trying to reach Tian Shui from pursuing tribesmen of the Qiang People. They raced beyond time as the Qiang were right behind them,not three li away; but when the Qiang saw that they had reached Zen territory they dispersed to their own land in the west."Great,now on with business." said the leader of this band of warriors. He advised all of his troops to disguise themselves as merchants,thus they wouldn't have to be interigated by the local authorities and should be able to walk right in.
The leader then hid all the horse in a nearby forest,so that once they are accepted they may go and retrieve their valiant steeds.The leader walked up to one of the guards patroling Tian Shui at that time period,bowed his head,and begane his speech;hoping to win the guards heart so that he may enter without being inspected.
"Oh kind sir,I am but a leader of a group of merchants.We are here in Tian Shui because we all grew up here and we have found out our families are in dire need of us.My mother is dying as we speak.I do not ask to be welcomedwith hospitality,but only that I may enter the city,along with my companions,for atleast three days and three nights.What say you oh wise one"?
The leader bowed his head,the cloak covering his face.His son and one of his students were near by,to cut down whomever may try to attack their leader.The leader just sat their,bowing his head,until he heard the responce of this guard.

A guard laughs, the gates are already open, yet ready to be closed in seconds if a problem arises. He beckons the men in, waving his hand in a very methodical fashion, the hidden Lu Bu was not the first to ask such a thing..

The leader shook his head and led his companions into the city.The others dispersed into the city,while the leader and two followers made their way to Tian Shui.They all took off their cloaks,now everyone could see who they were.One was a man of medium stature,holding two scimitars at his waist.The next man held a Guan Dao,gold for the handle and the blade was dressed in red.The final man had a general sword to his waist,a mongolian sword strapped to his back,a mongolian dagger,and the Trident Halberd in his right hand.It was none other than Lu Bu,followed by his student Zhao Ping and his son,Lu Pu.
Lu Bu had a black cape,black armor that had gold outlining.The cape had the symbol of "renegade" in blue.Lu Bu also had a helmet that was shaped as a Lion,with Pheasant lining.His sash was turquoise.Lu Bu moved forward to the palace.When he noticed the gates closing behind him,he became anxious.He positioned himself ready for a fight,but Zhao Ping and Lu Pu cooled him down and they all went to meet with the lord of Zen.

A lone rider approached the great city of Tian Shui. He had come along way to be here. He was now ready to choose who he would serve. He had heard Ma Teng was quite a ruler, so he decided to join him. After a long journey, he had finally come to this place. He dismounted outside the gate, and called to the guards within.
Shang Xi: I have come to serve your lord! Grant me passage!

Zhuge Flea who was now angry for being turned away by Shu had turned to Zen. He thought that with them, he could bring an end to the dishounarable Shu.
He rode up to the gates of Tian Shui. He looked at them. He then looked towards the guard who was standing by the gate.
I am Zhuge Flea. I have come here to join Zen and bring an end to Shu. Grant me passage.
Zhuge Flea then sat upon his horse waiting for his reply.

((I'm tired of telling this to people, and tired of people not reading the story. The gates are OPEN. Read the story, as most people still think Zen is here, when it hasn't been created yet. More or less, your joining a force Zhuge that is allied with Shu.))
