3 solutions
🨵d1: Pao
🨶c6, 🨼g5: Vao
🨷b4: Nao

: move normally but need a sautoir to capture
. the path must be clear between the starting square and the sautoir as well as between the sautoir and the finishing square
which must be empty or occupied by an opposing piece (which is then captured)
the Pao moves as a rook, the Vao as a bishop and the Nao as a nightrider
The Nightrider is a Knight having the possibility to make several successive jumps in the same direction

Solution

{

} 1.Ke5-e4 PAd1-e1 {
} 2.e6-e5 NAb4-d5 #{mat by the Vao c6, the Nao serving only as a sautoir

} 1.Ke5*d6 NAb4-h1 {
} 2.Rf5-e5 WVc6-d5 #{mat by Pao d1, Nao h1 controlling e7 with sautoir g3

} 1.Ke5-f6 WVc6-e4 {
} 2.Sg4-e5 PAd1-d5 #{mate by the Nao b4, the Vao e5 controlling g6 thanks to the sautoir f5
. each of the 3 white Chinese pieces gives mate in one of the 3 solutions}
