姜尚（姜子牙）：谋略始祖。吕尚（姜子牙），中国著名历史人物，商末周初人。他辅佐周武王灭商建周，建立齐国。周文王倾商，武王克纣的首席谋主、最高军事统帅与西周的开国元勋，齐文化的创始人，也是中国古代的一位影响久远的杰出的韬略家、军事家与政治家。
诸葛亮：一代智者。诸葛亮，字孔明，号凤雏，三国时期蜀汉丞相，其影响力、知名度妇孺皆知。也是三国杰出的政治家、军事家、散文家、书法家、发明家、文学家。千百年来，诸葛亮都被视为忠君爱国、神机妙算的化身，连鲁迅先生评价“诸葛多智而近妖”，虽有过失，可赞誉溢誉言中。巴蜀、云、贵地区对他纪念甚广，八阵图、孔明灯、诸葛连弩等民间传说深入人心，对草船借箭、借东风、祈禳之术也都惊叹不已。
张良，字子房，战国时期韩国人，历史上他与萧何，韩信，陈平一起被称为“汉初四杰”。虽体弱多病，可天资聪明，才气过人。在投奔刘邦之后经常为刘邦出谋划策，为刘邦建立汉朝立下了汗马功劳，并且助刘盈包住太子之位。
后世敬张良谋略出众，称其为“谋圣”。
孙膑：正合奇胜。孙膑（孙伯灵），中国战国时期军事家，孙武后代，也是中国古代十大名将之一。他智慧高强，道德高尚的智慧之人，最辉煌的著作便是《孙膑兵法》，毫不逊色祖父的孙子兵法。
后世人们对孙膑的评价很别高，对于当时陷害他的庞涓，在后来的两次战争中终于报仇，身残志坚也许说的就是他，这就是一代著名军事家孙膑！
