I guess this how the novel portrays him. In historical context(this is what I care more), he was not Godlike. True historical Kong Ming( I found in forums) -He couldn't do magic (duh!!).I'm referring to calling the wind in Chibi etc. -Kong Ming did not use any trick to capture JiangLiang and XiangYang after the battle of ChiBi. It was Zhou Yu who spent one year capturing them. - Zhuge Liang never argued(AKA the debate) with the southern scholars during his visit to Wu before the great battle of Chi Bi. The only incident remotely confrontational between the Wu and Shu scholars was an event during the visit of Shu's envoy Zhang Feng. -Zhuge Liang didn’t defeat Xiahou Dun at Xinye, Liu Bei did. -Zhuge Liang never captured Zhang Ren. Here is an important one. -Zhuge Liang didn't "borrow" the arrows from Cao Cao. It was Sun Quan who had his boats shot at by Cao, then decided to turn the boats around to collect arrows to prevent the boats from capsizing. That's it for today. I'm not going to list them all.
