As the Tujue large troops began to retreat north, the army of Great Sui also began to closely follow behind.
According to the plan of Zhang San and Wang Junwu, the Sui army was divided into three routes, with the central army led by Kaihuang himself.
The left route was Zhang San's Divine Martial Army, and the right route was Wang Junwu's Jin River Army.
The armies on the left and right flanked the Tujue troops on the left and right rear wings respectively, one to the west and one to the east.
