This is my side. Your first answer to that was you said that zhuge liang fought for justice while Sima Yi fought for himself, that much maybe true but since we are talking about who was superior that answer is irrelevant. Next, you said that zhuge liang invented numerous siege weapons but wasn't it that Sima yi also created and thought up very useful weapons, take the Wei destroyer for example and the Chen Cang castle defense weapons. Next, you said that the only reason why shou fell was that jiang wei kept on wasting it's (shu's) resources and that they had a weak leader, but mayebe you don't know that Jiang Wei was wasting rsources mainly because of the Wei campaign against Sima Yi and the only reason that the resources were getting wasted was because this was not successful and it is no one's fault that Liu Bei's heir was a weakling. Next, you said that if Zhuge Liang did not die he would have protected chan (shan) and he would not have drained the resources but you know what da_mikester, he did, he did die because of some ill ness which for one single reason was caused by the pressure that wei and Sima Yi was giving to him. Next, you said " so it was said that he was the greatest strategist of his era but, one problem though, it was just SAID, so does that mean that when I say that I am the greatest hockey player or tennis or whatever thing in the world or some other person says I'm the best at something does that truly mean I'm the best? Huh? If you said it was proven (by some stupid albeit miraculous way) that Zhuge Liang was better then I had no use arguing against you, but it was just SAID so unless you can prove that he is better (which you haven't done in our past arguements anyway) I will never beleive that he was better. And finally, ..... do you really want me to talk about whose fan was bigger cause that's just plain stupid.
So I answered your question Hyperwire (with the sima yi facts) and I also answered back da_mikester.
