But after arriving around the morning, he bore witness to the captured city of Ryouyou baring the flags of the Mountain Tribes along with Enpo and his tribe standing on the walls of the city cheering. Later on, he is told by an old warrior of the Quanrong that they have decided to join hands with Yo Tan Wa and the Mountain tribes as they viewed her to a liberator rather than a conqueror, he was warned that if he goes to Gyou, he will face their wraith, and they let him, and the remaining Zhao army fall back.
After falling back, he goes back to Retsubi to fortified it, sealing the only escape route left available for the Qin. After the 18th day of the campaign for Gyou, he is seen again with the guardian deity of the royal capital, Ko Chou as they try to prevent the Qin from resupplying their exhausted armies with food rations. He snapped and nearly killed the messenger when hearing the news about Ri Boku's imprisonment, decides to return to Kantan with Ko Chou.

When Ko Haku Kou was getting ready to make a sacrificial charge, Shun Sui Ju was against it, but eventually agreed with the condition that Ko Haku Kou would fall back if things didn't go as planned. Later he escapes the city by an underground tunnel and meets with Ko Haku Kou. They both return to Gian in order to follow Ri Boku into battle and prepare.
During Kan Ki's ambush at Hika, he faced off against Gaku Ka Army. At first, he tries to break through them at all costs, but when he sees Duke Ko Haku's army moving he decides to leave it to them and focus on Mou Ten and the Gaku Ka instead.

As Ri Boku's right-hand man[2], Shun Sui Ju is a very capable military commander. He was assigned by his lord to serve as Zhao's Commander-in-Chief during the Battle of Ryouyou and Siege of Atsuyo demonstrating his military prowess.
Physical Abilities[]
Master Swordsman: Shun Sui Ju seems to be a proficient swordsman as he was able to lead a cavalry charge and kill the ferocious warriors of the Yo Tan Wa Army. He fought the Feego Tribe with his sword.[3] When enraged he was capable of cracking a stone floor with a single swing.
Leadership[]
Shun Sui Ju is a capable military leader. Usually, he commands from HQ to have a better control of the battlefield although he was also shown leading his cavalry from the front.
Tactical Abilities[]
Master Strategist: Shun Sui Ju is very intelligent and perceptive as he deduces the Qin army's actions of changing directions at Kinan, based on information he received from his spy network. During the Battle for Ryouryou, he was able to deduce the location of Qin's food stores based on position of their forces and the lay of the land and made a plan to destroy most of the Heki Army's food supplies by using underground tunnels of the Quanrong that they were not aware of[4]. He was able to predict and deduces Yo Tan Wa's plan on killing the Quanrong commanders on the 9th day of battle and made preparations to prevent it. He also seems to have several tactical abilities and is capable of psychological warfare. After his arrival at the battlefield, he tried to provoke Yo Tan Wa by killing her soldiers in front of her and challenging her personally.
During the siege of Atsuyo, he also enacted a sacrificial strategy for wounded Zhao soldiers to leap of the edge of wall and take their enemies down with them.[5] Normally such a tactic would be impossible to implement, but due to the grudge after Kan Ki's massacre the soldiers were willing to follow the orders. Thanks to this plan he was able to cause the Qin Army to suffer three times the casualties then they anticipated and forced Ou Sen Army to stay behind to recover.
Poisoning Methods: Shun Sui Juu created a back plan to poison the water wells inside Sekirei with a special device, revealing some knowledge on poisons.[6] This tactic enabled the Zhao to recapture the city without any resistance, although it renders the entire city uninhabitable afterwards.
