[edit] The Nanman King Meng Huo
At the time of the Wu and Wei battles, Zhuge Liang decides to launch a full assault on the Nanman tribes. After heading south to the lands of China, the Shu startegist captures and releases the Nanman King Meng Huo 7 times to force him into surrender.
If the Meng Huo and his forces outnumbered the Shu forces, how is it that Meng Huo was caught 7 times. Due to the terrain that the Nanman people lived in the Shu army should have encounter some difficults while traveling through the land. If Zhuge Liang did capture Meng Huo 7 times, what, if any, methods did he go about rather than meet the Nanman in head on battle and if Meng Huo would serve the Shu forces, how long would time permit him to do so.

[edit] Meng Huo's depiction
I don't think that the picture from Dynasty Warriors needs to be there. Think about if someone like Socrates, who we don't know the look of, had a video game character on his Wikipedia page. Also, I doubt that Meng Huo had metal claws. I say the photo should be taken off this page. --Riction 08:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. The picture and the over-lengthy section on his appearance in Dynasty Warriors makes the article look like a joke, if you ask me. 67.46.0.13 11:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC) (Not anonymous, firewall at my job won't let me stay logged in, user ID is Themill).
- A joke? As opposed to another emotion you are attempting to invoke with that scribbled image at the top? The picture only cites the most modern reference to Meng Huo. If you have an image from the television series or something from another modern reference, then replace it. Those claws are weapons, larger versions of the "cat claw" used throughout history by many Eastern warriors and assassins. I don't see how modern references to historical individuals are a "joke," and I see that disdain for the video game medium is as alive and well as ever. I wonder if you'd rubbish the section if it was derived from a book or movie instead. Gamer Junkie 12:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Meng Huo.jpg
Image:Meng Huo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
