Mouten The First of the Trio to Reach General Rank in Kingdom!

​Fans of the epic historical anime and manga, Kingdom, often debate who among the "Young Trio" (Shin, Ouhon, and Mouten) would reach the coveted rank of Great General first. While all three are undeniably brilliant warriors and strategists, it was the strategic genius Mouten (Meng Tian) who earned his General's star first, under extraordinary circumstances during a critical war.

​The Crisis on Shukai Plains
​The pivotal moment came during the Western Zhao Invasion Arc, a brutal campaign that pushed the Qin army to its limits. On the very first day of battle at the Shukai Plains, disaster struck the Qin left wing.

The esteemed General Makou was shockingly assassinated by the formidable Zhao Great General Riboku, throwing his entire army into chaos. The collapse of this wing would have spelled immediate defeat for Qin.

​Mouten's Battlefield Promotion
​It was in this moment of sheer desperation that Mouten's brilliance shone brightest. Without hesitation, he took command of the disarrayed Makou forces. With incredible composure and tactical prowess, he managed to rally the broken army, stabilize the left wing, and prevent a catastrophic rout.

​Recognizing the urgent need to maintain leadership and prevent total collapse, the supreme commander Ousen made an unprecedented decision: he promoted Mouten to General on the battlefield! This was not a customary promotion, but an emergency appointment born out of absolute necessity and Mouten's undeniable skill.
