Even so, on the battlefield of Dongjun, Zhao only had 1.2 million soldiers and horses.
Meanwhile, the Chu army's western military expedition, with the assistance of Cang Long Way, had successively pacified Xingyang and Jiying counties in the summer and autumn of this year, successfully completing the original set tasks.
Therefore, the western military expedition, aside from leaving 300,000 soldiers and an Inborn to defend each of the three commanderies of Jiangxia, Xingyang, and Jiying, invested the extra two million soldiers into the warfare in Dongjun.
With two million against 1.2 million, even though the Chu army included a large number of civilian workers and was thus of mixed quality,
the sheer numbers had made up for it, and their actual strength was no longer inferior to that of the Zhao army.
