It's a pity that these were all fine sons of Wu, soldiers guarding against the barbarians, who did not die on the road to fight the barbarians.
But he had to fight his own battle.
It's a pity, a tragedy, a lamentable situation.
After he finished speaking, Zhao Shuaizhen rode his horse and led his army toward Shanhaiguan.
What he didn't know was that on the grasslands beyond the Great Wall, a force of 30,000 elite Jurchen cavalry, led by their Khan, was galloping toward Jizhou.
"Great Khan, are we planning a surprise attack on Xifengkou and entering the pass through Xifengkou?"
A Jurchen general with a rat-tail hairstyle respectfully asked Wanyan Jian beside him.
Wanyan Jian glanced at him and said:

Wanyan Jian flicked his whip and continued:
"Xifengkou is under the jurisdiction of Jizhou of the Southern Dynasty. This time, Li Qin occupied Shanhaiguan, which is very close to Jizhou. The Southern Dynasty will definitely send troops from Jizhou to quell the rebellion."
At that time, Jizhou will be vulnerable, which will be a good opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack.
Of course, we still need to wait; I've already calculated the time.
From the time the Southern Dynasty issued the order to the Jizhou garrison to prepare for departure, the troops of Jizhou should have just left Jizhou.

We must wait. We must wait until the Southern Dynasty's army has gathered at Shanhaiguan and is engaged in battle.
When there is no time to provide support, we will go to Xifengkou and launch a surprise attack on Jizhen. At that time, we will surely be able to defeat them in one battle.
Moreover, the Southern Dynasty wouldn't have any troops to support them in the short term.
