"Inform all units to immediately send out the vanguard battalion to occupy Nanshan Mountain to prevent the Jiannu from returning." Wang Yongji gave the order without hesitation.
Wang Yongji did not think this was a trick of the Jiannu.
The Ming army has taken the initiative on the western front. If the Jiannu do not withdraw their troops from the central front, their retreat will be blocked by the Ming army on the western front.
