According to Graff, the size of the Sui army is most likely exaggerated; he points out that the Tang chroniclers, who wrote the History of the Sui Dynasty, tried to dissuade the Tang emperors from invading Korea by exaggerating the magnitude of the Sui defeats. In addition, by comparing the size of the army against the size of the population, he shows that this figure was most likely implausible. His estimated figure is a total army of half the size, comparible to the army that invaded the Chen Dynasty.--Confuzion 22:04, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

According to the History of the Sui Dynasty, 1,138,000 combat troops were mobilised. The support troops, responsible for logistics and transportation of resources, are believed to have dwarfed even that number. The total strength of the army is in dispute, with estimates ranging from 3 to more than 5 million.
