Governors and officials from various states came to participate in the heavenly sacrifice, bringing at most a few hundred soldiers for protection. Zhao Hanzhang brought the most, over a thousand men, because she was Gou Xi's most important rival, fearing he might seize the chance to kill her.
These few hundred to a thousand troops are insignificant in the face of the Xiongnu army of two hundred thousand.

At this moment, there were quite a few members of the Great Jin royal family in the city, including the founder of Eastern Jin, Sima Rui.
