Definition
强将 means 'strong general' or 'powerful commander', but in modern Chinese it's almost always used in the set phrase 强将手下无弱兵 ('under a strong general there are no weak soldiers'), meaning that a capable leader produces capable subordinates. It's a literary or semi-fixed expression, not a free noun you'd use productively for any strong military leader.
