Please brush up your knowledge about the three kingdoms. First zhuge liang only conducted five northern campaigns, not seven. Sima yi only against the last 2 of zhuge northern campaigns.

But I agree zhuge liang was a loser. I rather use 張良 or 劉基。

Successes over Zhuge Liang

In 227, Cao Rui succeeded the throne of Cao Wei and Cao Zhen was promoted to Supreme General (大将军). Believing the young Cao Rui was inexperienced, Zhuge Liang, Chancellor of Shu Han, launched the first of his Northern Expeditions against Cao Wei shortly after Cao Pi died. Three commanderies of the distant Longyou soon defected to Zhuge;[4] thus, Cao Zhen hurriedly led his troops to Mei (郿), near Chang'an and Chencang (陈仓), in fear Zhuge would attack either city. However, the enemy attacked the garrison atop Mount Qi. An enemy force commanded by Zhao Yun appeared at Qi Trail, hindering Cao Zhen from reinforcing Mount Qi, where Zhuge Liang personally laid a siege.[5] With better trained soldiers, Cao Zhen defeated Zhao Yun, who was only given weaker troops by the Shu Chancellor, forcing the loser to retreat, but gave up pursuit on the latter.[6] Then, the Supreme General ordered Zhang He to locate and cut Zhuge's supply line. At the time Zhang completed his mission, Zhuge was still struggling to take over Mount Qi, which was actually not heavily guarded; when Zhuge Liang got wind of what happened, he gave up the expedition and forced 1,000 households of West County to move to Hanzhong.[7]

Observing Zhuge's failure at Mount Qi, Cao Zhen had deduced the former would attack Chencang next time, so he ordered Hao Zhao and Wang Sheng to fortify that city.[8] Cao's prediction was accurate, but he did not expect the Shu Chancellor would launch another large scale assault just one year later. At the time, Hao Zhao only had 1,000 soldiers under command, while Zhuge Liang had brought 100,000 men and a range of siege weapons and projectiles to the battlefield. Nevertheless, Hao Zhao managed to destroy most of Shu's siege weapons and forced the invaders to turn back. Cao Zhen received an increase on salary due to his prior advice. For the next few years, Cao successfully fended off every invasions from Zhuge.

In fiction

In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen made a late appearance in chapter 84, where he accompanied Cao Pi on a campaign against Eastern Wu.

Cao Zhen's importance begins to rise in Chapter 91 as Zhuge Liang launches his Northern Expeditions against Cao Wei. However, his contributions in the series of battles and maneuvers for the next eight chapters were largely played down by the author in an effort to accentuate the resourcefulness of Sima Yi. Luo Guanzhong even attributed Cao Zhen's death to his failure to heed Sima Yi's forewarning of a Shu offensive.

In history, Cao Zhen was responsible for beating off most of Zhuge Liang's invasion. If you had been watching the TV series or comic book or the novel 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', the author Luo Guanzhong made Cao Zhen appear as a bumbling idiot in order to strengthen the Zhuge-Sima rivalry. In reality, 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' by Luo Guanzhong is a novel based on history, but with many historical parts changed in order to make the story more exciting.

In actual fact, ZGL only 出祁山 twice. Since you mentioned 7 times, I assume we are talking about the novel.

Mr Goh, 45, who contested in Tampines GRC on the NSP ticket in 2011, and in Aljunied GRC on the WP ticket in 2006, said he applied to register the People's Power Party (PPP) last Friday.

His new party hopes to win back middle-ground voters whose confidence in the opposition has been shaken by the "neverending" spat between the Workers' Party-run Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) and the Ministry of National Development (MND), said Mr Goh.

The PPP, which has absorbed some former NSP and WP members, will champion greater separation of powers, with a more active role for the President.
