Chapter 371 – Xu Huang's Patience
Linyu County, a northern county between Beiping and Xiangping Commandery became a strategic point as Xu Huang and his 60,000 soldiers occupied it as their supply base.
From this point, they required another 25 days to reach Gongsun Du's headquarter to the east.
However, Xu Huang was a cautious general. He decided to dispatch Zhang Bao and 5,000 light cavalries to scout the surroundings for one day before the entire army would continue marching.
His action delayed their traveling schedule. From the initial plan of 25 days, Jia Xu estimated that they might reach Xiangping in 40 days instead.
Still, none of the troops worried about the delayed schedule. As long as they could return home alive, they did not mind the overtime job.
May 1st, 190 A.D.
This marked the 30th day after their journey. They were 20 days away from Xiangping City.
