Meanwhile, the Western flank was led by Commander-in-Chief Weiming Luling of the Xiangqing Army, setting out from the former site of the Yan Army Command in Black Water Town controlled by Western Xia, skirting east across the desert, with its destination set on the Zhenzhoou State where the northwest expedition command of Liao was located.

The northwest expedition command of Liao governs numerous tribes such as Wugu and Dilie, representing a crucial force for controlling the Northern Desert and protecting the Central Capital.
