Wu Feng Ming (Go Hou Mei) is a male great general of Wei in the Kingdom series, son of the late legendary general Wu Qing (Go Kei). He possesses long light-brown braided hair, a clean-shaven face, and wears typical military attire including a mantle and helmet, distinguishing him from older generals.
Born into military nobility, he received early tactical training from his father and mentor Rei Ou. His rapid rise through Wei's ranks culminated in his appointment as supreme commander of Wei's military forces. Deeply patriotic, his commitment to Wei's supremacy is fueled by a desire to avenge his father's defeat and death at the hands of Qin's Duke Hyou.
Wu Feng Ming exhibits a calm, pragmatic, and strategically focused personality. He approaches warfare with cold rationality, viewing soldiers as expendable tools to achieve objectives. This ruthlessness is exemplified when he sacrifices Rei Ou during a Qin ambush, rationalizing his mentor's diminished usefulness and prioritizing his own survival for Wei's future. Despite this, he avoids unnecessary bloodshed and prioritizes campaign efficiency. He maintains his headquarters away from frontline dangers, employs body doubles, and meticulously pre-plans escape routes.
His formidable tactical prowess emphasizes defensive ingenuity and siege warfare. He designed specialized siege towers for assaults on fortifications like Kankoku Pass. During the defense of Choyou, he orchestrated a near-impregnable formation leveraging terrain features like rivers and mountains, requiring simultaneous multi-directional breaches to overcome. He is one of the few generals capable of executing the advanced Ryuudou coordinated pincer tactic. His versatility extends to unconventional methods like poison research, though he considered his expertise inferior to specialists like Sei Kai of Han.
Key military involvements include:
* Leading the Wei contingent in the Coalition Army invasion of Qin, confronting Duke Hyou and coordinating at Kankoku Pass.
* Commanding Wei's defense during the Fire Dragons of Wei arc, where Qin forces breached his tactical system, leading to his retreat and consolidation of Rei Ou's army.
* Forming a temporary alliance with Qin during the War of the Three States arc, contributing 70,000 Wei troops to capture Chu's strategic Juuko City. While allies engaged Chu on the Gecchi Plains, he covertly deployed siege engines to capture the city concurrently with the battlefield victory.
* Advising Wei's court in later arcs, such as deducing Qin's target was Han during their naval assault on Rakushi Fortress and ordering defensive preparations.
Despite temporary alliances, his relationship with Qin remains adversarial; he consistently seeks opportunities to reclaim territories like Sanyou and leverage Qin's conflicts to Wei's advantage. Stat profiles consistently highlight his exceptional intellect (intelligence 97-98) and leadership (88-91), though his physical combat abilities are modest. Recognized among the "Seven Fire Dragons of Wei," he stands as a leading military prodigy of his era. He is a fictional character with no direct historical counterpart. While the etymology of his name (particularly "Feng" meaning phoenix) and character design sparked speculation, narrative sources definitively identify him as male.
