Kingdom Wiki
If you were but a simple strategist, there would be no need to kill you. Of course, you are no mere strategist. Nor do I mind you declaring yourself to be a coward. That is not something which demonstrates the caliber of a man. Your claims having no desires is probably true. Normally, an entity of greed such myself would view people like you as nothing more than a piddling existence...Yet for some reason instead, I feel you project a fearsome greatness.

Ri Boku, also known as the Savior of Ganmon and Bu'An Kun (Lord of Bu'An)[1], is a central character of Kingdom. He serves as a member of Zhao's Three Great Heavens, succeeding previous members Ren Pa and Rin Shou Jo, and holds the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Zhao Military.

Ri Boku made his debut during the Battle of Bayou Arc as one of the two newly appointed members of the Three Great Heavens, alongside the late Bushin, Hou Ken. Later, at the beginning of the Zhao/Qin alliance, he also assumed the role of Prime Minister of the Zhao court. Upon rising to power, Ri Boku quickly sought to cement his military prowess by targeting and defeating legendary Great Generals such as Ou Ki, the Monstrous Bird of Qin, and Geki Shin, the Savior of Yan, establishing himself as a dominant Strategist of the Warring States.

Originally, Ri Boku was introduced as the protagonist in Yasuhisa Hara's one-shot manga Li Mu and Hai Yin.[2] He later made his first official appearance in the series during the Battle of Bayou, on the fourth day of the conflict, where he and Kaine observed the battlefield. It was soon revealed that Ri Boku was the mysterious Commander-in-Chief responsible for the near-total destruction of the Northern Horsemen Tribes, as discussed in a conversation between Yo Tan Wa and Ei Sei.

As the most formidable adversary to Ei Sei's ambition of Unifying China under Qin, Ri Boku plays a pivotal role in the series. His actions make him a key antagonist, particularly the following Battle of Bayou Arc, Coalition Invasion Arc alongside the Coalition Army, the overarching antagonist of the Western Zhao Invasion Arc, the main protagonist of the Zhao Crisis Arc after his fall from power, and the central antagonist of the Zhao's Retaliation Arc and the Hango Campaign Arc, alongside Shi Ba Shou.

Appearance[]

A tall and handsome man, Ri Boku has a kind face and rugged muscled body riddled by scars. He has long, light hair, tied into a high ponytail, blue eyes, and a small black goatee. He wears long blue robe with a fur collar and a white tunic underneath it. After his battle with Kan Ki, he received a scar across his right temple of his face.

Personality[]

Ri Boku is a humble and kind man to those around him, neither caring for fame nor glory. He truly wants to live on a peaceful farm, start a family and spend his days without war and the constant pain of warfare. He also does not mind physical labor, actually preferring the work, as seen during his tenure in Ganmon, and later during his exile after the Coalition Army's defeat.

However, as a strategist and military commander, he is completely ruthless towards his enemies and very willing to utilize so-called "underhanded" methods in any means for victory. He allowed and commended the idea of attacking Ou Ki from behind in his duel with Hou Ken and was willing to betray Qin despite their alliance after they gained the strategic region of Sanyou after defeating the Wei forces led by Ren Pa, realizing leaving Sanyou to Qin would become a massive threat to Zhao and the rest of the Warring States in the future.

One of his most defining characteristic is his loyalty to Zhao and drive to protect his homeland, even at the risk of his own life. Although Ri Boku considers himself a coward, he is willing to put himself in harm's way for the sake of fulfilling his duty.

However as noted by Ou Sen and Kan Ki, Ri Boku is too bounded by his personal ethics and duty to truly realize his ideals, despite how corrupt the Zhao government was with during Tou Jou's reign and remains so with Yuu Boku and Kaku Kai now in power. He refused to resort to force and rebellion to overthrow them, insisting on acting with a non-violent and loyal obedience to the Zhao king.

Ri Boku is regarded as one of the greatest military minds in the series, a master strategist whose influence and actions shape the course of warfare and politics across China as the greatest member of Zhao's Three Great Heavens in its history and an unparalleled military commander.[3]

Having surpassed the previous generation of Great Generals, including Ou Ki and Geki Shin, he is recognized as the single most formidable opponent Qin has ever faced.[4] Both Ei Sei and the late Sai Taku have acknowledged him as the greatest obstacle to the unification of China.[5]

Physical Abilities[]

Ri Boku Vs Shin

Ri Boku clashes with Shin.

Master Swordsman: As proof of his battle experience, Ri Boku was shown to have numerous scars on his body. It was observed by Shin and those of a military background who were present during his appearance at Kanyou that he has a terrifying and overwhelming martial presence that is a sign of living through a ridiculous number of battlefields as a warrior.[6] This was later proven when Shin, a talented combatant, challenged him to a duel. Ri Boku easily kept up and even had the upper hand against Shin in their brief bout.[7] During the Battle at Shukai Plains, he personally assassinated Ma Kou with a swift precision to his neck and was also able to kill Shu Ma with a quick stab from his blind spot during the Battle of Hika.

Glaive Mastery: In his youth Ri Boku was a deadly force when wielding a glaive in battle, going into a trance while slaughtering foes, paying no heed to the struggles of his comrades beside him although very little is shown of it.[8]

Leadership[]

A brilliant leader with immense charisma and influece among the Zhao military. As a member of the second generation of Three Great Heavens, Ri Boku is a living symbol of the Zhao Military.[9] It was noted that after his victory in the Battle of Bayou he became extremely popular amongst the common folk.[10] Ri Boku have gathered many talented Zhao commanders and generals to follow his leadership including Fu Tei, Shun Sui Ju and Ba Nan Ji. The loyalty of his vassals runs so deep that many of them like Kaine [11] and Shin Sei Jou [12] are ready to sacrifice their lives for him. Ri Boku also earned deep respect of other generals such as En Kan, Kotsu Min Haku and even Shi Ba Shou

This was shown during Kan Ki's ambush where Ri Boku was able to rally his personal guards to the point where they were throwing away their lives to protect his HQ until the arrival of reinforcements. He is also an expert in making passionate speeches to his soldiers and others in order to boost their morale.[13] With a leadership stat of 99, Ri Boku ranks amongst the best leaders in the series.

Tactical Abilities[]

Master Strategist: A genius strategist and commander, Ri Boku possesses the highest level of military intellect in the series, surpassing even renowned strategists like Shou Hei Kun, and Great Generals like Ou Sen, and Haku Ki. Unlike most tacticians, his strategies are rooted in firsthand experience as a frontline soldier and officer, making them exceptionally effective in real-world combat. His approach emphasizes key elements such as logistics, terrain, research, and misinformation, allowing him to adapt to virtually any battlefield scenario.

Ri Boku's strategic focus often lies in pre-battle preparations, ensuring that he gains an advantage before the fighting even begins. During the Coalition War, he developed a contingency plan for the worst-case scenario before the battles started. He deliberately selected a battlefield near the southern path for Zhao and discreetly moved troops to Bu Pass in small groups. By sending thousands of soldiers at a time from day one, he successfully shifted tens of thousands of troops without drawing attention. When Chu General Ka Rin's plan failed, this maneuver allowed him to swiftly turn the tide of battle.[14]

His ability to control positioning and deception is evident in multiple campaigns like when he targeted General Ou Ki, he used misinformation and rapid troop movements to completely outmaneuver the Monstrous Bird of Qin [15] and against Yan's legend Geki Shin, he repositioned his HQ to the enemy's right flank, securing a decisive advantage.

Against Kan Ki, he isolated the enemy's main force, surrounding them in a Cage Formation with hidden northern troops, nearly wiping out Kan Ki's entire army. Ri Boku's tactical brilliance extends beyond traditional warfare. He once led a force of 130,000 soldiers to annihilate an army of 200,000 Northern Horsemen Tribes in what was later described as a "completely one-sided slaughter." His ability to manipulate battle conditions before the first strike makes him one of the most formidable commanders.[16]

Ri Boku possesses an exceptional ability to maneuver his own HQ and armies in ways that catch enemies off guard, often leading to devastating consequences. He meticulously studies his opponents' strengths and weaknesses, allowing him to accurately predict their actions and counter them effectively. This skill has played a key role in some of his greatest victories, leading to the defeats of Ou Ki, Geki Shin, Kan Ki, and Ou Sen. Additionally, his deep understanding of warfare enabled him to recognize Shou Hei Kun's invasion of Wei as a potential checkmate move. To counter this threat, Ri Boku deemed it necessary to form the Coalition Army, preventing Qin from gaining the upper hand.[17]

Manipulation of Information: Ri Boku is adept at manipulating the flow of information.[18] Before the Battle of Bayou, he created an information lock-down on Zhao's northern border that enabled him to hide his army and intrude into the battle from the back. In addition, he purposely leaked information that Hou Ken was appointed to a great general in Zhao in order to lure Ou Ki into his trap.[19] He also used a similar method as a key stratagem to form the coalition of armies that invaded Qin, hiding the alliance from Shou Hei Kun.

Later during Qin's invasion of the Gyou region, he was able to cut off the three Qin armies from any communication between each other as well as from the outside as part of his plan. And during Qin's attack to the Gian region, he controlled the information flow by concealing the mobilization of the entire northern armies.[20] He is also a practiced liar having stated that he never used his sword in battles, as in later situations he was able to completely catch the enemy off guard, as seen when he ambushed the unprepared Ma Kou and beheaded him.

Assassination Tactics: Ri Boku is capable of personally leading a detachment of soldiers in order to hunt down and slay the commander of an army. It is a strategy originating from his days in fighting off the overwhelming Xiongnu back in Ganmon, waiting for the right moment when enemies are vulnerable to completely surprise them thanks to the extraordinary speed of his cavalry. By using this tactic, he was able to catch off guard and swiftly kill Ma Kou as well as numerous Xiongnu leaders during his time at Ganmon. Such a tactic enabled the Zhao forces to paralyze the Xiongnu due to their leaders fearing for their lives in the midst of battle.[21]

Zhao's Great Wall

Zhao's Great Wall

Architectural Skills: Ri Boku possesses amazing ability in building and modifying fortifications. After the battle for the Kokuyou Hills, he ordered the construction of several outposts in western Zhao creating an elaborate multi-layered defense that would take at least ten years to conquer which later forced Qin to make a risky and somewhat suicidal attack on Gyou.[22]

He also modified Retsubi as a way to be easily recaptured and upgraded Gyou to the point where it was considered by Ou Sen to be the perfect city that is impossible to take from the outside by force.[23] This enabled Zhao to cut off the enemy's supply line and turn the entire region into a deadly trap. Later it was revealed that Ri Boku had ordered the construction of a Great Wall south to Kantan that extends over a distance of 250 Li. By connecting the already existing castles in the region and stretching over mountains and rocks he was able to create a massive bulwark with tremendous defensive capabilities.[24]

During the Hango Campaign, Ri Boku also demonstrated the ability to construct an earthen fort in his strategy for the purpose of stalling important enemies. Despite it being rashly constructed, it had a secret underground tunnel, and it required an army of over 10,000 soldiers to conquer it.

Origin Tactics: Ri Boku demonstrated the ability to find the "origin" of the workings of armies on the battlefield. After his battle with Duke Hyou years ago, he was able to deconstruct and decipher the mechanisms of how Instinctual Type military commanders waged war. He then proceeded to hammer that knowledge into the strategical type soldiers under his command. Emerging from that crucible was a new army that combined the strengths of both the strategical and instinctual.[25]

Riboku's Ryuudou

Military Formations: Ri Boku is well versed in military formations. He is one of two known great generals who is able to perform highly the advanced defensive tactic known as Ryuudou. Its purpose is to use the flow of soldiers to split the attackers into smaller groups and drive them away from the HQ. The more the enemy tries to close in on the defender's HQ, the stronger the flow becomes. Usually, the commander needs a high vantage point to make this technique possible, but Ri Boku is able to see the entire field while at ground level and doesn't require the tower to use it.[26]

All the officers in his army are well educated in warfare and capable of quickly reading the enemy's moves and reacting accordingly even without Ri Boku's command. This was showcased when they created an iron wall defense with Halting Point Formation and other defensive field tactics or when they used Widened Arrow Formation to trap the pursuing Qin forces.[27] When on the attack, the army can form a super offensive formation that utilizes "origin tactics" to make almost unstoppable advances.

Ri Boku's knowledge of field tactics is so great that he was able to analyze Ou Sen's advanced defensive formation. Other talented strategists like Ou Hon and Chou Ga Ryuu couldn't grasp it, but Ri Boku was able to find its weakness after a brief observation which resulted in A Kou's defeat.

Politics[]

As the former Prime Minister of Zhao, Ri Boku is a proficient politician and diplomat. After the Battle of Bayou, he made a temporary alliance with Qin that enabled him to invade Yan.[28] He was also the man behind the creation of the Coalition Army convincing the other states to join together against Qin.[29] In addition, Ri Boku kept good relations with the Quanrong's royal family from Ryouyou, which enabled him to use them during Qin's invasion of the Gyou region. He is well liked and supported by many citizens and peoples of Zhao.

Weaknesses[]

Ri Boku is undoubtedly one of the finest military commanders and Great Generals in the Central Plains, but even he has notable weaknesses particularly in politics. His shortcomings in this area were first evident during his meeting with Ryo Fui, where he was outmaneuvered in the political arena. Ryo Fui successfully coerced the Zhao King into threatening Ri Boku with execution should he fail to retrieve Shun Pei Kun. This was part of Ryo Fui's larger scheme to balance the power between Qin and Zhao following Zhao's victory at the Battle of Bayou. Furthermore, Ryo Fui leveraged Ri Boku's carefully planned Qin/Zhao alliance to negotiate the handover of Kankou, a highly strategic battlefront.

Ri Boku's political miscalculations also extend to his long-term military strategies. He later admitted that his proposed alliance had unintentionally positioned Qin to "checkmate" the other Warring States after their victory in Sanyou, forcing him to create the Coalition Army in response.

Ironically, despite his military brilliance, Ri Boku had a deeply strained relationship with King Tou Jou, who regarded him with the same contempt as Ren Pa and sought any excuse to execute him. While Ri Boku enjoys immense popularity among the Zhao Military and the common people, his influence in Zhao's royal court remains weak due to the manipulations of Kaku Kai.

Quotes[]


It's enough to make your heart bleed. This is why I dislike warfare. However, one cannot open a path with sentiment alone.

—To Kaine

(Chapter 171, page 9)


Understand that there are two types of commanders. The first are those who once slain will result in their soldiers completely losing morale and ending the battle right there. While the other becomes a symbol of martyrdom upon death and causes their soldiers to instead fight to their deaths.

—To Sei Mei

(Chapter 172, page 5–6)


I was never the type of man who wished to stand above the others, to begin with. To be appointed by the people and the state is a heavy responsibility. Neither can I get accustomed to the elegant streets and houses. If possible, I would rather return to the countryside and protect the land there with my comrades, perhaps build a family, raise some sheep, and leisurely spend my days till I go gray, that's the sort of peaceful life I most desire.

—To Ryo Fui

(Chapter 176, page 8)


The purpose of an alliance is not simply for the sake of preventing an enemy from attacking you. Rather, the importance lies in what one can obtain after the alliance. As well as your actions after the alliance.

—To Shin

(Chapter 259, page 16)


So long as you continue to believe that acquiring territory is all there is to warfare, you will never be able to defeat me in this life.

—To Shin

(Chapter 259, page 17)


To always presume the worst possible outcome is the correct choice as a strategist.

—To Ka Ryo Ten

(Chapter 260, page 12)


Nothing good will come out of trying to do something on a battlefield that has already been defeated.

—To Shun Shin Kun

(Chapter 316, page 9)


Warfare is directly linked to politics. A defeat in war often leads to interior conflict breaking out within the courts.

—To Kaine and Fu Tei

(Chapter 366, page 16)


This is only a guess, but though you may be someone who can easily lay waste to swathes of kingdoms...you will never be a man who is capable of raising and nurturing one.

—To Ou Sen

(Chapter 608, page 6)


I can tell you from experience...it is only when you find something worth protecting that your passion will burn brighter than ever.

—To Ou Sen

(Chapter 608, page 8)


An eye for an eye... a pincer for a pincer.

—To himself

(Chapter 614, page 20)


The repetition of "war" and "peace" is all there is. That's what we humans are. The only thing we can do is stave off war and hold onto out times of peace for as long as possible.

—To Shi Ba Shou

(Chapter 799, page 16)

Trivia[]

  • Ri Boku is based on the famous historical general, Li Mu who was distantly related to the Qin general, Li Xin is based on. The manga takes a lot of liberties, vastly changing the two's backgrounds from their historical counterparts, however. As of the present story, there has been no confirmation that the two are related to each other.
  • Wikipedia lists him ("Li Mu") as one of the four generals "commonly known" as the greatest generals of the Warring States period. That's alongside Ou Sen ("Wang Jian"), Ren Pa ("Lian Po") and Haku Ki ("Bai Qi").
  • He was noted by multiple people in the Qin courts to be smaller, younger, and shorter than they expected, despite his rank of a Great General.[30]
  • In his youth, Ri Boku had a best friend by the name of Yong Shan.
  • Ri Boku has fought against or faced all the members of Six Great Generals's second generation in battle - Mou Bu and Tou during the Battle of Bayou, Yo Tan Wa during the Battle of Sai, Ou Sen in the Battle at Shukai Plains and Battle of Hango and Kan Ki during the Battle of Gian and Battle of Hika.

Etymology[]

  • Ri or Li means "plum, plum tree" (李)
  • Boku or Mu means "shepherd, tend cattle, to herd, to govern" (牧)
