The military ended up with a very bad reputation AFAIK
considering the sequence of Sheng's conquests. They
embarked on many desperate and dubious stratagems of which
very few worked and those that did only had a limited effect.
The Kralori finally managed to cast Sheng down through
draconic devotions and not through battlefield victories. Some
(but not all) of the military reputation was regained by the
reconquest of Boshan.

Sheng fell because he had one great big flaw. However this was
virtually impossible to exploit which explains why he was so
successful in the century preceding his great fall.
