In the Great Wei Dynasty, the number of eunuchs was the largest during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, with 2,600 people. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, there were only 1,800 people. When they moved from the old capital to Xinjing, they only brought 582 eunuchs.

Now, the Empress Dowager has set a number of ten thousand for this unformed Nei Cao army.

In other words, even if all the eunuchs, young and old, are included, it is still not enough, and there is still a gap of nine thousand people.

These nine thousand people were not young soldiers who could lead their troops south to compete with the King Yu's army, but eunuchs who cut off their descendants and sway when walking.
