RSJ and Ren Pa have many subs that can think for themselves and act accordingly.
However, I would say that in any conflict, especially one as high leverage as this one, there will usually be only one cook in the kitchen. Ri Boku doesn't have to think for everyone, he just has to come up with a plan they can follow and stick to, and we've know he's good at that sort of thing since his introduction at Bayou.
Whatever solutions he will consider, they're going to be narrow in scope. RBK would know that his side doesn't have have as many routes to victory so most likely whatever he instructions he would have for them would be limited to begin with. Combine that with the knowledge we know these subs are pretty elite at following orders and you can see merits of the trade-offs.
Functional A Kou + HSU + Gyoku Hou.
Not JUST A Kou. Why are you pretending l wrote that?
I want you to be clear on what you're committing to, so to be absolutely clear
You are saying this army
Ri Boku invoked Hou Ken's name and Shin's ability to slay him. He spent a year expending resources on tunnel networks and earthworks. It is undeniable RBK deemed it mission critical SBS did not run into Shin, common sense tells you it's because he wasn't confident in the outcome.
How could he have been, considering he witnessed Shin slay Hou Ken on an empty stomach after 2 weeks of fighting?
Whether RBK believes SBS would win or lose is immaterial, that he considers it too risky is what matters.
It takes more than extremely strong weight to take down Hou Ken. It took everything Ou Ki had. Duke Hyou didn't have enough.
Gyou'un wasn't fine either, he also reached his limits for the day despite having the advantage.
Shin did beat Buddha with martial prowess. He figured out his weakness and then took him out in 2 moves. That fight is his most skill based fight outside Hou Ken and Rin Ko.
He didn't even fight with it. There's a literally a split second removed between JKR gettting hit with the arrow and Shin nearly killed him with a single hit.
Prior to that he and his henchmen were swarming Shin, but you conveniently leave that out.
Only you deliberately ignore and leave things out that don't agree with you.
You want to fixate on the arrow like we weren't talking about Shin getting swarmed prior to it. There was no actual, meaningful 1v1, again, the panels you posted disagree with your own findings.
The Q3 have been considered valued assets important to Qin's future long before generals started dropping like flies. They've been pivotal in every major war, campaign and battle for the past decade and a half.
They were more important and valueable to Qin than any Seika general is now before Shukai even began. Even as unit commanders. Your scaling is completely out of whack.
Ignoring Ou Hon was given a suicide mission on impossible terrain and pretending Kan Ki had anything to do with it being conquered is certainly an interesting spin.
Kan Ki didn't do nearly enough to warrant beginning any sentence with "Kan Ki defeated Ko Chou" - it simply isn't true. Ko Chou was defeated by the joint efforts of Shin, Ou Hon, Kyou Kai, A Ka Kin, and Kan Ki.
Dawg, "only slightly more effective" is just crazy.
Since always. He's a martial type general that's considered to be unbeatable in a direct clash by Ri Boku. He was disappointed when Ou Sen didn't give him his match. He went out to Sanyou in the first place for such a confrontation.
Ren Pa prefers a head on clash. Do you have any real reason to dispute something so obvious?
Yeah, I don't see eye to eye on any of this, our scales are completely out of synch.
