In the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han kingdom, displayed extraordinary talent from a young age. He was well-read, proficient in military strategy, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and both a scholar and a warrior, intelligent and brave. During the Battle of Changban, Cao Cao's army was on the verge of overwhelming Liu Bei's forces. Zhuge Liang, unfazed by the crisis, cleverly used the terrain to set an ambush. Against the odds, he defeated Cao Cao's army, securing the future of Shu Han. Afterwards, Liu Bei exclaimed, "Kongming is truly both intelligent and brave. Without him, Shu Han would have long been destroyed!" In numerous subsequent military campaigns, Zhuge Liang's exceptional military skills and courage secured a series of victories for the Shu army, contributing to the establishment and development of the Shu Han dynasty. His story continues to inspire generations as an embodiment of both intelligence and valor.
