Wu Sangui at Sarhu was also gathering troops and packing up baggage, preparing to move to the north bank of the Hunhe River for rest.
Jiefan Mountain, six miles away.
Dorgon led more than a hundred personal soldiers along the mountain road to the foot of the mountain.
The Jiannu scouts immediately came forward and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Are there any Ming scouts nearby?"
"Yes, they have been driven three miles away by my men." The scout replied.
"Okay!" Dorgon nodded and gave the order behind him: "Order all the troops to quickly assemble on the north side of Jiefan Mountain. Move quickly. Anyone who delays military operations will be executed immediately!"

(Hillside sunset means the sun sets halfway up the mountain.)
"General!" Advisor Fang Guangchen shouted at the top of his voice, "Think twice! If the court investigates this matter later, I'm afraid..."
