And during this period, Guo Si and others received new information; the vanguard units of the Chen Family, Xun Family, and Sima Family had already reached the actual territory ruled by Li Jue and his allies.
It is said that these three families set out the earliest, encountered Guo Si when he was going to the Central Plains, and also ran into him on the way back with 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. At that time, Guo Si even considered directly bringing them back in a package, but was refused.
It could be said that the delay was entirely because after reaching the Western Regions, these people began to investigate all the way, collecting hydrology, geography, population, culture, and other intelligence, while estimating population capacity limits.
