Yun Jiao couldn't help asking, "Then isn't there very little Forbidden Army left in the Capital City?"
As she knew, although the Great Chu Forbidden Army claimed to be in the hundreds of thousands, these troops were spread across the country.
The Forbidden Army in the Capital City, known as the Palace Guard, was considered the elite force of Great Chu. But even that was only eighty to ninety thousand strong, and now half had been deployed elsewhere; relying on forty thousand to defend the city?
Lady Wu nodded, "Only about forty thousand Palace Guard, but the Capital City is built solidly, easy to defend and hard to attack, forty thousand troops are enough to hold the city."
Yun Jiao whispered, "Mother, should we prepare something?"
When war breaks out, survival is paramount, and food is indispensable.
Lady Wu had similar thoughts to Yun Jiao, "No need; the food stored in the mansion's granary is enough to last a year or two."
