Note: The character being described in this haiku poem is none other than Jiang Wei, a young tactician working for the Kingdom of Shu. While he originally fought for Wei, the Shu strategist Zhuge Liang recognized the young man's potential and convinced him to defect from his original kingdom. While Jiang Wei's role in Warriors Orochi is quite minimal, he does play an important role in one particular battle where he helps plot an ambush attack against the Serpent King's large forces. This game is Koei's intellectual property. It does not belong to me.
Tactical Prowess
In countless battles,
Victory was determined,
By strategic might.
Wisdom and Knowledge,
Were the greatest assets of,
Many strategists.
A young apprentice,
Whose wisdom matched his fervor,
Sought to prove himself.
Despite being chased,
By the serpent's loyal hounds,
He never gave up hope.
With his old comrades,
They hatched a practical plot,
To stomp their foes flat.
This dire strategy,
Would give the young man a chance,
To display his skills.
Note: In Jiang Wei's special stage, he can help tip the scales in the player's favor by setting up an ambush near the main camp. However, the plot will fail if none of the opposing generals are lured in correctly. It goes to show you how strict the game can be sometimes. While Yoshihiro Shimazu was the one who came up with that idea, it was Jiang Wei who executed it.
