Isn't that just the same issue regarding old generation? Their achievements are mostly rumours and legends without any details.
As for Riboku at least we have multiple onscreen battles to see his capabilities.
His war against Xiongnu was literally that.
200k Xiongnu vs 130k Zhao and the battle happened on Xiongnu territory. This was apparently overwhelming victory where Xiongnu lost around half their forces.
Xiongnu were presented as a threat to every northern Kingdom, since Zhao, Qin and Yan united...
One important aspect about Kanki that is often missed is that he was always looking down on military commanders and their warfare. Him not learning orthodox methods has more to do with his personality and pride rather then lack on talent. He simly thinks of it as something beneath him.
There's nothing wrong with liking or disliking Shibashou, since it's a matter of taste.
But saying he doesn't have any philosophy or interesting dialog is disingenuous. His debate about the nature of war with Riboku and his desire to create independent neutral city-state at least shown he has...
Hara in the new volume:
Shiryu was going to die, but I felt sorry for her because she was desperately trying to hold on, so I decided to help her. I changed it at the last minute, her left arm was already broken by Jiaga.

Gakujou was still considered 2nd most famed general in all of Zhao at the time aka he had to have some legit achievements under his belt for that to happen. He was basically Kochou before Kochou. Didn't Renpa also said that he satisfied him 60% compared to 6GG? You think he would say something...
C'mon don't do my man Gaku Shou like this. Shibashou army is far from done. Fuuon can be promoted to general as a replacement for one of the deceased ones. And now that Shibashou is Great Heaven he can pretty much make his vassal whatever Zhao commander he wants aside from Riboku's men. Now I...
The fact that he wasn't just murdered by Renpa on the spot means that Hara had some idea to still use him in the future. If he was executed then I'm sure we would get that information in the manga right after the battle. Him moving to another state makes more sense to me, because right now...
Shibashou's elites should at least be in conversation based on the resent chapters.
Also Karin's elites. They were said to be either best or second best in all of Chu which potencially puts them above the likes of Juuko elites and Kanmei's giant cavalry. Although Kouen's elites will likely...
I was debating him on discord and youtube about it and he was serious. He also considers Shiryou 4HK level.
When I disagreed with him he threw a temper tantrum and called me dumb. That was the last time I had a discussion with him about anything.
