水陆人马群如云美月住处在一筹

In this text: 孔明（诸葛亮）祁山布八阵 I found 水陆 and 人马。

(Probably too much war！)  
水陆困乏,人马猖狂。  
Water and land are exhausted, people and horses are rampant

技高一筹：more skillful  
更胜一筹: superior, better  
略胜一筹：slightly better, a cut above  
略逊一筹: not as good

I have no idea about Japanese, and my Chinese is also not good, so this is just a guess.

水陆人马群如云  
（By） water and land, groups of people and horses like clouds,  
美月住处在一筹  
(The) Beautiful moon residence is better

Tako Queen? Queen of tacos??
