Not thousands lol, Tens of thousands. But yeah he did outplay Ousen, Kanki, and SHK
So finally we get a number for the Kanki army.
120k people retreated to back Taigan. And they can't move out easily cause Ruomo attacking them again would be on their mind and without another general, they won't have someone who can convince them to move out again as they think the Ruomo army is way bigger than what they actually are
Qin currently have 140k
50k from the northern army
90k from Kanki + M3 army
10k HSA
5k Kyoukai unit
10k Mouten army
65k Kanki army (Heki who)
Zhao has 100k-120k
I actually don't think they will have a big hidden army, the hidden army is probably going to be the 20k army that they say Riboku could have.
^The reason is the army with fewer numbers wins in Kingdom lmao. Only Riboku has broken this curse once in Bayou.
As for Kanki, he has always been cocky. As he said himself, he has always gambled in these kinds of situations and come out on top. He has a reason for being cocky and that is "he is really fucking good at warfare"
And Kanki having a bad feeling gives more weight to Kanki having really good instincts. And makes his stats make more sense. He has the intelligence of 96 but has completely outplayed the other 96 int characters every time. Case in point, Genpou, and Kochou. And even has better feats than a character with 98 int. And Ousen saying he can't grasp Kanki's thinking like Riboku said about Duke although Duke was even more of a anommaly.
So far, Riboku has successfully stopped Ousen's 90k. And reduced the numbers from the Northern army to a quarter.
He is winning in the preliminary moves of the 390k vs 100k-120k + Atsuyo + 20-30k from Ruomo
And turned it into 140k vs 100k-120k. He has won big against the Qin GGs so far in long-distance warfare

there's no way SHK can predict that. His strategy went to shit the last time too as soon as Ousen set foot in Retsubi. Without knowing about the situation on ground it would be impossible to predict that. If he did predict everything then why would he not have plans against the attack from Roumo

Have you not been reading Kingdom, the one with the bigger number always loses
