How does this fit Li Shang, when the need to conform and follow order and authority is one of the most prominent things about him? “The son of an army general, Shang aspires to succeed his father as the leader of "China's greatest troops".” “Shang is ordered to train the new recruits, and then, pending Chi-Fu's approval, join the main army in the Tung Shao Pass to halt Shan Yu and his army's advance towards the Imperial City. Shang is initially excited at the prospect.” From the stuff presented in the movie, I find E1 and Sx1 to be the best match for him.
