Liu Wei's western expedition consisted of 1,800 Xuanjia cavalry, 3,500 Baipao cavalry, and 6,000 Xuanjia auxiliary troops.
Such a well-balanced cavalry force, combining light and heavy units, not only wiped out the Yuchi Xianbei, but also ensured that the various states of the Western Regions would never dare to harbor any disloyalty again.
After a series of orders, each general went to prepare on their own.
Chen Ji, the military supervisor of the Northern Protectorate who was sent by Liu Wei to accompany Xue Rengui, caught a slight cold at Juyan Lake. While recuperating in Juyan City, he assisted Di Qing in handling important civil affairs.
Liu Wei also planned to take Shen Lian with him and set off for Dunhuang first to find the 3,500 White Robe Army cavalry.

Sending them into battle now would only result in greater losses.

Xue Rengui naturally obeyed the order, but he was worried about Liu Wei's safety.
There are only three thousand infantrymen in the city at present, who were brought by Geng Chun from Juyan Lake, and most of them are new recruits.
Even with these thousand strong men wielding broadswords.
But in terms of numbers, they are at an absolute disadvantage!
"Hehe, with the Mo Dao Battalion and the Three-Bow Ballista, our defenses are impregnable!"
"After just one battle, the Liangzhou soldiers will never dare to approach the city again."
Liu Wei gave a cold smile.
