Was arguably the most intelligent military strategist, of his era so much that it was said if anyone was to have Zhuge Liang by his side he could hold all of china in the palm of his hand.
Also, was so vividly respected and feared, than even when he died on the battlefield while outnumbered by the infamously clever Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang's foresight led to impeccable battle formations that threw the opposing army into a panic. Leading Sima Yi to order a retreat despite knowing full well that the legendary strategist was dead.
