@hopebestman I'm not saying there was never a general that was also a good fighter, though someone like Ghengis Khan is probably a better example of someone who is both a powerful fighter and the general. Those would we exceptionally rare cases and they would have to surround themselves with the more traditional types of generals that are actually leading the troupes, provisioning supplies, directing camp building etc etc. Even those known for being great fighters did most of their actual direct fighting early in the career, long before they were in charge of whole armies.
In a lot of media (including LN, Manga, and Anime) most are super great warriors who fight on the front lines with the troops. That's just not the role of a general. Most historically successful generals are more like a Nimitz or Sun Tzu who specialize in troop movements, logistics, leadership, intelligence, and strategy. It's not like in popular media, "oh I can swing my sword and take down five fighters, I'm the general now!"
