On the river surface of Jiangxia, Chu State's naval forces could not overpower Ning Country's navy, but it wasn't just due to their weaker military strength.
Last year during the naval battle, Chu State had captured over a hundred of Ning Country's warships, as well as more than eight thousand naval prisoners.
With the help of these captured warships and prisoners, after a winter of assimilation, Chu State's naval forces had already recovered to a scale of fifty thousand.
With this strength, coupled with the sharp morale from last year's great victory, and battling Ning's army, even without Chu Wei's command, Chu State's chances of victory were not small.
Nevertheless, on the front line, Chu State still only retained forty thousand naval forces, allowing Ning Country's navy to swagger around; within this, there certainly was reason.
