There are 5,000 elite soldiers in Yanjing City, plus the Capital Camp and the Military Guards, a total of less than 6,000 people, and the imperial guards led by Chen Jin are no more than 2,000 people.
The army brought by the Cao family numbered as many as 20,000.
Originally, these people could not have reached the outskirts of Yanjing City. Having troops with them was a serious crime, and no one dared to bring troops back without being summoned. They would be stopped along the way.
But after Zhao Heng ascended the throne, in order to be on the safe side, he sent people out to seize the power of several cities north of Danzhou and control them for himself. However, the war became chaotic and the military strength was reduced, which backfired and allowed the Cao family to bring their troops here smoothly.
Now that the enemy is at the gates, even if we ignore the mere thousand men that King Xuan brought with him, we dare not underestimate the army brought by the Cao family. Those are the soldiers who have fought with the West Valley War Wolves and are comparable to the Yongyi Army in the Northern Frontier.
