Rook retreat a bit mysterious

From the classic Xiangqi endgames.

Rook and Pawn plus Bishop versus Rook and Pawn plus pair of Guards, this ending can happen in actual play.

Red wins against Black's best defence.

Red's 4. R9-1 may seem a bit mysterious, yes indeed.

The Rook will capture the Guard if Black King moves to the centre file.
