[@Stern Algorithm] Yea, I can definitely relate to Zhou Yu's plight. If you have a Netflix account, you should definitely check out the movie Red Cliff. Lots of great moments from both of those strategists. 

[@Viciousmarrow] Guan Yu is a certifiable badass. Who else can sit there and play chess while having surgery done on their arm? Nobody. That's who. 

But I also really like Cao Cao as a character. He's treated like the villain even though he was just doing what literally everybody else was doing; he just happened to be a bit better at it. Cao Cao was probably the smartest of the three titular leaders, but his paranoia got the better of him. It was understandable, however, as he both acted as an assassin and survived assassination attempts.
