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.
