Bai Qi's purpose in marching north was actually the same as Xu Kun's: to slow the enemy army's rate of assembly!
An army numbering in the billions was not easy to assemble in the first place. After opening Jiayu Pass, the first choke point connecting north and south, the wolf army had also spent a long time transporting its forces fully into the Maowusu Desert!
