Best Asian General

Who do you think is the most significant out of these three asian generals, Lee Soon Shin, Oda Nobunaga, or Genghis Khan?

Without Mao Dun there would be no Genghis.

General is not the same as admiral, thus Yi SUn Sin doesnt really count unless you mean his few and less spectacular land battles.  My vote would go for Subedei Bahadur.

My pick is Genghis Khan.

Lee soon shin  was  one of the best admirals in asia.  You can't really put  him with the other two since the other two were land commanders. 
Oda Nobunaga had a greater impact in Japanese history than Genghis had in the eurasia land mass. Genghis Khan's accomplishments were wasted by the splintering of his clan into different factions almost as soon as he died, it got worse after each successive generation. Oda Nobunaga set the stage for Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokyugawa Ieyasu for the unification of Japan.

Going back to Genghis, he did give the mongols as sense of nationhood or a mongol state whereas previously it was just tribal alliances that came and went.

Hoshi-mena the greatest asian general,He defeated the french at (dean pian voo)and gained independence .

He defeated the american too and reunion vietnam,After him i elect chang ki tchick

Yi soon shin hands down  watching the drama now

Sun Zi was a great theoretician. Being a great general is entirely different.

 I think Oda Nobunaga is up there for Japan, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin are all strong contenders for the the top position. My personal vote goes to Hideyoshi... to my knowledge no battle in which he was in overall command was ever lost. Perhaps on the higher geostrategic level he was less skilled - as the Imjin War will show, but on the field of battle...

I think a lot really depends on what you consider significant. For example Wang Jian of Qin was certainly significant, in that he led the Qin invasion of Chu and thus removed the last obstacle between Qin and the unification of all of China. Keep in mind the defeat of Chu by Wang Jian directly contributed to the foundation of an empire which would last over 21 centuries and the nation of China is still united today and one of the most powerful on Earth (soon to be the most powerful). In that sense Wang Jian is extremely significant... but not especially brilliant, merely competent, solid and reliable. Cao Cao and Bai Qi are also strong contenders from China.

I think Eulji Mundeok has gotta be Korea's leading candidate.

In terms of significance, of the three mentioned at the beginning of this thread Genghis Khan has gotta take the cake. He set in motion forces which would eventually create the largest contiguous land empire in history - incorporating most of Eurasia.

Shivaji Bhonsle is a strong contender from India. Elsewhere we have Tamerlane who is certainly important and skillful. Much further west we have Salah ad-Din who defeated the Crusaders and retook Jerusalem.

Really it is impossible to say which single person was the most significant and certainly who was the most skilled.

Li Shimin was both a superb field general and a brillant supreme general

Tamerlane and Genghis differed: Genghis preferred to take overall command and let his younger field generals take the action, while Tamerlane was more hands on.

I agree with Poirot...

Sun Tzu, Chengiz Qan, Jebe, Subutay; but I would like to add to this list people like Attila and Iltirish Qaqan (not because my name is the same with his).
