I don't agree with the view that Riboku is inferior than Ousen... Riboku consistently outsmarted Ousen in the war!! Ousen won the battle of Shukai plains due to sheer quality of commanders he got at his disposal....
Qin's left was completely paralyzed by a Riboku move on the very first day...Had Shin's and Ouhon's forces not awakened, Zhao's side would have totally won against Qin's right....
Riboku depended on tactics to sway the battlefield in his favour while Ousen depended on chances... Riboku's tactics to paralyze Qin's left by killing Makou and Qin's right by injuring (nearly killing Akou) was just great!! While Ousen depended on Mouten's brilliance to keep Kisui at bay and Ouhan, Shin's ability to awaken their units to force through Zhao....
Even when Riboku and Ousen clashed, Riboku instantly countered Ousen's ploy and nearly got him!! Even Ousen admitted last chapter that he won the battle of Shukai plains due to the trio!!
But I really appreciate Ousen's long term planning and unconventional strategies which caught Riboku off gaurd such as sending refugees to Gyou,sending in spies along with them etc...( Had Gyou's mayor not opened the door for refugees I don't know what would have happened)
