"Your Majesty, as long as my aunts agree to return to the ranks, the Chu Family Army will certainly be no less than it was in the past..."
"I can grant you this. Provided your aunts are willing, I will allow you and your brother to restore the Chu Family Army." The Emperor interrupted Chu Yueli.
In the past, the Chu Family Army had numbered two hundred thousand, with one hundred thousand soldiers perishing in Nanmeng. Although the army nominally retained one hundred thousand men thereafter, the truth was that after years of campaigning east and west under the command of Prince Jin, the actual number of soldiers remaining in the Chu Family Army was likely less than eighty thousand.
