Every effort is put in to ensure that the translation is done as accurately as possible to my limited knowledge, according to the DVD series. It took many pauses on the show itself, while searching for references, dictionaries, blogging, editing and finally posting here.
I would appreciate if you want to copy and paste this wholesale, please kindly link back to my site.
I do not own the images on these posts, they are taken from the internet.

This post is an attempted detail to capture the historical events according to the new series, my intention is to capture Zhuge Liang's brilliance, thoughts and understanding of events even before they happen, delegation and use of army, and ultimately even the iconic symbolization of his presence were feared by the enemies.
On an analysis of his success,
1. He understands the capabilities of the generals and knows that they will do a good job.
2. He knows the terrain like the back of his hand, the geography, even the weather.
3. He knows what the enemy is thinking of, when and where they will engage, on top of that, why and how.
4. He knows the people around him, their character, personality, how to make use of it to his purpose.
5. He is an expert in military strategy, much versed in the Books of War.
6. He is confident, knowing his own capability.
This version of Zhuge Liang's strategy and advise for Liu Bei seemed a little rushed, with a lot less emphasis on the character, this actor is more charismatic and younger, but the other actor portrayed a much higher level of subtlety.
