With such a monotone line of thinking it is no wonder you can only think of historical characters as one-dimensional creatures classified as "brave", "clever", "loyal", "bastard', etc. Also for your info, 诸葛亮 contribution in the initial defeat of caocao is questionable. Again, read the narrative. Most of the strategies were devised by Zhou Yu. The only contribution of 诸葛亮 was building that 120 foot tower and praying for northeast wind -- an event that is most probably a figment of Luo Guan Zhong's imagination. Look at it this way: If in history, 诸葛亮 had indeed played a major role, Luo Guan Zhong would be all over it and would have dramatized it. But no, the only contribution was his supernatural divine inspiration of praying for northeast wind. Doesn't that tell you something? After liu bei's death, 诸葛亮 was on a decline intellectually. The ultimate cause of his demise was his stubbornness and inflexibility of character. Which incidentally is how folks like you are proposing to handle the PAP. Sad.
