That night, Yun Chi led a hundred thousand troops, leaving Capital City.
Following his departure were Duke of Jingguo, Cheng Zixiao, and Su Qingmian.
Yun Chi originally planned to leave Duke of Jingguo in Capital City, only taking Cheng Zixiao and Su Qingmian with him. After all, these two were greatly beneficial to his expedition. Cheng Zixiao was in charge of managing provisions and finances along the way. He and Cheng Guzhi were brothers after all. With Cheng Guzhi in Capital City overseeing the distribution of grain, the brothers' mutual understanding ensured seamless teamwork to prevent any mishaps with the provisions. Moreover, the mountains were many in Lingnan; Su Qingmian's inventions could be useful for marching and fighting, especially his large kites that could fly dozens of miles from the mountaintops. This was very advantageous for surprise attacks.
