So it depends on how Riboku and Renpa pair up their debuties, but imo Riboku would win this one more often than not, Riboku without Chou Garyuu and Gyou'Un would lose to Renpa but give him the extra deputies and he would clutch it out. As for the deputies:
Gyou'Un Vs Rinko: Both very offensive generals but I think Gyou'Un would defeat Rinko. Gyou'Un being a very dangerous Instinctual Type and also being one of the literal strongest warriors in China, is too much for Rinko. Rinko obviously very skilled and versatile but Gyou'Un would be too much for him to deal with.
Bananji Vs Kaishibou: Probably Bananji but this one could go either way. They are comparable in strength but Bananji has more tactical feats than Kaishibou does.
Chou Garyuu vs Kyou'En: This is probably the most mixed one, I don't think either really has the advantage here.
Shinsuiju vs Genpo: Genpo wins. Genpo was a mind so great that Renpa claimed that he could've served as the head of the entire Zhao military. Shinsuiju is no joke but Genpo's hype is pretty insane. His tactical feats in battle are pretty awesome too whereas Shinsuiju's tactical feats are great but not on Genpo's level imho.
And then finally, Riboku vs Renpa: There's a million different ways this fight could go down, but ultimately I think, in most cases, Renpa would be forced to charge himself on Riboku, because Riboku would try to use his superior tactics and strategic ability to try and fight a winning war of attrition against Renpa. Renpa is actually a really strong strategist but Riboku is pretty much the greatest tactician we've ever seen in the manga, so imo Renpa is not out-strategizing Riboku. Meaning Renpa would be forced to commit himself to charging on Riboku's HQ to personally slay him, to attempt to win.
Problem with that is that Riboku would never try to engage Renpa in an actual 1v1 duel. I think he would know Renpa would win, so he would try to defeat Renpa by use of formations like the Ryuudo to split Renpa up from the rest of his troops, as well as using the troops he used against Ousen, which ultimately would stall him out and allow Riboku to win.
So I'd say Riboku wins 6 out of 10 battles
Gyou'Un Vs Rinko: Both very offensive generals but I think Gyou'Un would defeat Rinko. Gyou'Un being a very dangerous Instinctual Type and also being one of the literal strongest warriors in China, is too much for Rinko. Rinko obviously very skilled and versatile but Gyou'Un would be too much for him to deal with.
Bananji Vs Kaishibou: Probably Bananji but this one could go either way. They are comparable in strength but Bananji has more tactical feats than Kaishibou does.
Chou Garyuu vs Kyou'En: This is probably the most mixed one, I don't think either really has the advantage here.
