Red to move and mate in 2.

I've included algebraic coordinates in case you want to leave your solution in a comment. You can find xiangqi rules here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi

    Absolutely !  Great job.

    Horse (knight) and cannon sometimes work together in beautiful ways.  I just love the way the horse and cannon conspire to attack the king and cover all four of the points he would like to escape to.
