On the one hand, he was waiting for subsequent supplies and possible further instructions from the Chanyu's court.
On the other hand, he also saw through the Yin Zhao court's superficial strength and the Jin King's indecisiveness.
In the competition between the eastern and western armies of the Tatars, Zuo Xian Wang has already completely defeated the Uriankhai, who suffered a great loss in Shuozhou.
As expected, Prince Jin Yinxi sent out a "vanguard" that was slow to act.
