However, under the current circumstances, the comparison of military strength between the two sides seems to be quite lopsided. In the whole of Yanzhou, Chen Xi only had a little more than forty thousand in his regular legions, while on the other side, Tian Feng had nearly a hundred thousand men deployed around Yanzhou.
Fortunately, after taking over Yanzhou, a large number of construction legions and Tuntian legions had arrived, so the rear defense forces were still sufficient. The gap was only with the front line troops defending against Jizhou.
After dispatching Guan Yu to Jiyin, and once Guo Jia took Chen Dao there, Jiyin would have nearly twenty thousand men, while Tian Feng's force was estimated to be around forty thousand, including over four thousand cavalrymen.
