After listening to everyone's discussion, Wenren Sheng, seated in the place of honor, could not help but feel greatly delighted.
It reminded him of his earliest days, when he had still been playing Three Kingdoms VIII through XII.
Back then, strategists in the games competed against one another in intelligence.
A difference of just one point in intelligence could determine the outcome of a battle.
If someone stunned you and you could not resist it, your force of twenty thousand troops could still be defeated by their three thousand.
For example, Zhuge Liang's Divine Calculation had the trait that any scheme used against anyone with lower intelligence than himself was guaranteed to succeed.
Sima Yi's Deep Stratagem, meanwhile, had the trait that any successfully executed scheme would definitely deal a critical blow.
Pang Tong's stratagem was Chain Link, whose trait caused a scheme to affect one nearby unit as well.
If Zhuge's intelligence was stacked to the maximum and he brought along those latter two, then he could kill gods if gods stood in his way and kill Buddhas if Buddhas stood in his way.
Using twenty thousand to defeat one hundred thousand was not difficult at all.
He could directly incite internal strife in the enemy ranks, spread false reports, stun them, and break their morale. In short, his own side would grow stronger the longer they fought, while the enemy would grow more and more dazed.

It was equivalent to leading the enemy in circles through a
