When the Shenji right and left camp was still twenty miles away from the Chaobai River, Li Xuan's main body had already arrived at the east bank of the Chaobai River.
This was the benefit of having a clone. Li Xuan's clone was in command of the army in the back, while he himself moved on to inspect the situation from the east bank of the Chaobai River.
At this point, it was the fifth moment of the Hour of Mao (six in the morning), about an hour later than Li Xuan had originally scheduled. But this was already their fastest speed. Li Xuan had used all his means and could not advance the time they would arrive at the Chaobai River by even a moment.
Fortunately, according to the news fed back from the Forbidden City, the situation had not worsened to an unacceptable level.
