Le Jin spurred his horse to run up a hundred feet high hill, and raised his head to look at the position of the sun, he estimated that it was already noon, and then waved his hand to stop the five hundred cavalry troops behind him, telling them to dismount and rest before advancing. Just as dawn broke, they were led out of Henei County by Le Jin. They had already been walking non-stop for more than four hours, and were already exhausted.

When the short and sturdy Le Jin heard the cheers of his subordinates, his usually cold and stern face revealed a rare trace of a smile. He also jumped down from his horse and took out the pasta cake and water bag, while eating and drinking, he vigilantly stared at the road to the north. This morning, Le Jin, with the order of Cao Cao Cao, brought this precious cavalry team and prepared to approach the Qinghe County to investigate the enemy situation. The distance from the Henei County to the Qinghe County was around two hundred and forty li, and right now, they were almost at the boundary of two countries.

Shen San bowed and said, "General is right, that river is a branch of the Qing River. Normally, the river is not deep, but after crossing a small hill, one will be able to see the World Tablet."

Le Jin nodded and fed some water and bean cakes to his horse. After resting for about an hour, he waited for the horse to recover most of its energy and ordered it to continue its journey.

After the time it took to burn an incense stick to burn, Le Jin arrived at the side of the river. Just as Shen San had said, the river water was very shallow, and the deepest part could probably only submerge the thighs of the war horses. The forest on the other side of the river blocked their line of sight. Out of caution, Le Jin ordered the ten people to go over to check, but did not find any traces of the enemy.

Qu Yi and Yan Liangwenchou had learnt from the mistakes before, the valor and courage of cavalry of Youzhou was well-known in Cao Cao Cao Ming's army, Le Jin may seem rough on the outside, but he was actually extremely cautious in his actions, he did not want to be ambushed by The Steel Cavalry of Youzhou for no reason at all. Cao Cao's cavalry was very small, only around 1500 people. It was because Le Jin was cautious that Cao Cao Cao gave him 30% of his cavalry strength.

After the five hundred of them crossed the river, Shen San, who was beside Le Jin, suddenly turned his head and looked at the water, his face filled with puzzlement.

"But what's wrong?" Le Jin acutely noticed the change in Shen San's expression and immediately pulled back his horse's head and asked.

Shen San pointed to the middle of the river and explained, "Reporting to General, at this time last year, I went back to the Qinghe County and burned some paper for my parents. At that time, the river seems to be bigger than the one in front of me, and the places I remember the most are all down to my neck.

Le Jin was startled when he heard it, he immediately thought of 'water attack' in his heart, but he immediately laughed involuntarily. Not to mention if the enemy would cut off the river upstream, waiting for the opportunity to release water to attack him, even if Youzhou Army did something, how would she attack for the sake of the small amount of people in her hands?

"Go upstream and see if there's anything wrong!" Le Jin thought for a moment, then casually sent a few people to take a look. The Envoy Cao might very well cross the river and head towards the Qing River, it was best to be a little more careful.

They cupped their fists and turned their horses to follow the river.

Passing through the forest in front, he found the 'Green River' tablet that Shen San had mentioned. It was carved with two large red characters. The stone tablet was missing a corner and looked extremely dilapidated. More than half of the red paint on the big words had already been painted on, and the surrounding grass was growing everywhere. Some bones could be seen in the distance.

Le Jin's gaze moved from the Realm Monument to the white bones, his expression not changing in the slightest. Compared to Qing He, where Henei County was located on the other side of the city, Dong Zhuo had seen too many white bones in the fields and had even seen ten chambers and nine spaces along the way.

Le Jin retracted his gaze, turned and asked: "How far is it from here to Qing He City?"

"General, there's about another hundred and forty miles to go."

'If we're going at this speed for another four to four hours, then if all goes well, it would probably be midnight by the time we reach Henei County. Looks like I'll have to speed it up a little! ' Le Jin calculated in his heart before ordering them to speed up a little.

After raising his speed, the sound of hooves on the public road was like thunder. Dust flew into the air, scaring away countless birds and beasts.

Just like most of the roads in the different provinces and counties, the roads here in Jizhou were in a state of disrepair and full of holes. Some of the roads were even a few feet wide.

Shen San was careless and his horse almost jumped into a hole. He quickly steadied himself and scolded: "This dog. Day. The road ahead was just too rotten. Last year was much better than now, at least he hadn't seen so many holes! I really don't know how Master Yuan Shijun governs the Jizhou! "

"Exactly, this road is really rotten!"

"Hey!" I've long heard that the Jizhou is a place filled with wealth, but never thought that it would actually be inferior to our Yanzhou! "

"That's right, at least our Yanzhou's government is much better than this place!"

Le Jin shook his head after hearing these words. After occupying the Jizhou, Yuan Shao had used all kinds of heavy taxes on the citizens' classes, using the money he had obtained to deal with the Army of Heishan and Youzhou Army. Indeed, Yuan Shao often recruited hard labourers, but most of them were for the construction of the city walls or for the transportation of the food, how could he do such a thankless task as fixing the roads!

"Alright, all of you shut up and hurry on your way!" Le Jin stopped everyone's discussion. After all, Yuan Shao was now an ally of the Envoy Cao, so it would not be good if his words were too unpleasant.

Just as Le Jin was ordering his subordinates to retreat, on a hillside that was more than ten meters away, Gongsun Xu was currently looking forward with a thousand mirror in his hand.

Ma Jun was truly worthy of being called a famous master craftsman in the future. He merely mentioned the principles behind the Thousand Li Mirror, and this master craftsman who knew everything immediately found some crystal stones and started developing it in high spirits. Although it was still very rough, and could only be seen from seven to eight kilometers away, which was how it started to become blurry once it reached a distance of more than five kilometers away, it already made Gongsun Xu overjoyed. With the Thousand Li Mirror, he would be able to discover the traces of the enemy ahead of time.

Gongsun Xu had also set off early in the morning. This time, he had brought fifty thousand walking soldier s and five thousand cavalrymen. With such a powerful army in his hands, Gongsun Xu's' where in the world can't I go 'ambition was quietly born in his heart, and he was extremely excited and happy along the way.

He waited for a good while, but still did not hear Gongsun Xu speak. He could not help but ask: "Master, is there anything abnormal?"

"Nothing abnormal!" Gongsun Xu shook his head, taking the mirror away from him, he tapped the end of the helmet lightly, "You little brat, do you want to play with this mirror?"

Ma Jun had only produced a total of three Thousand-Li Mirror. Gongsun Zanfuzi and Zhang Yan each had one, so he naturally did not have the chance to use them. He was already extremely curious in his heart.

"Take it, don't fall to the ground!" Gongsun Xu laughed and passed the mirror over. To him, this mirror was no different from a child's toy.

He wiped his hands on his clothes a few times and carefully took the Thousand Li Mirror. He could not wait to be like Gongsun Xu, and placed it in front of him, and immediately exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Xu was shocked, he thought that the Single Classic had found something abnormal.

Meridian's tone was filled with shock: "Master, this All-Seeing Eye is really worthy of its reputation! He could even see very clearly from that far away! If only I could have one! "

Gongsun Xu laughed: "Master Ma Jun is currently collecting more suitable crystal lenses, I will give you one in the future."

He was overjoyed and quickly expressed his thanks. However, he was reluctant to move his eyes away from the mirror.

Gongsun Xu patted his shoulders and laughed: "Alright, we still need to hurry, give it back to me first."

Ye Zichen nodded reluctantly, then suddenly exclaimed once again.

Gongsun Xu snapped, "What are you doing, being so shocked?"

Zenith hurriedly said: "My lord, a troop of cavalry is coming!"

Gongsun Xu was startled, he immediately used the mirror to spin, adjusting the lens's distance, he looked into the distance.

More than five kilometers away on the public road, a black cavalry unit was rapidly approaching. In front of the troop was a red flag with a large black character embroidered on it. However, the character was too far away to be clearly seen.

However, he could not see anything as he stomped his feet and asked, "Master, do you know who it is? "How many are there?"

Gongsun Xu replied with some excitement: "He's wearing black clothes, he should be Cao Cao! About five or six hundred people. "

After reincarnating into this era, Gongsun Xu had set a grand goal of fighting against the masses. As someone who was well aware of history, the few people he wanted to fight the most were Cao Cao! Now that he finally saw Cao Cao's subordinates, Gongsun Xu couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.

Shan Meng cupped his fists: "Master, this subordinate requests that I lead the troops to intercept them, we must ensure that they do not return!"

"No!" Gongsun Xu shook his head, and said respectfully: "This general is prepared to personally meet Cao Cao! Go inform Feng Xiao and Zi Long. "

Shan Meng was very dejected after hearing this, he ran down the mountain with his head down.

Gongsun Xu kept his Thousand Li Mirror and followed Shan Meng down the mountain.
