Li Ping'an originally planned to let Ji Dan resume normal activities after escorting Su Daji's convoy to reach Chaoge City.
But he overestimated East Emperor Taiyi's patience.
The convoy was still a thousand miles away from Chaoge City, and with the speed of mythical beasts, it would take a full day at full speed.
The large troop dispatched by East Emperor Taiyi had already met them there.
The Soaring Horse and the Tri-Horned Water Buffalo were the two most widely used mythical beasts in the Shang Kingdom's army.
The former was mainly used to transmit messages, capable of traveling three thousand miles a day, swift as the wind with remarkable endurance, running for six hours and resting for six hours daily.
The latter was primarily used to transport military supplies or to pull major troops for rapid marches.
Back in the war when the Shang Kingdom overthrew the Xia Dynasty, it mainly relied on the use of these two mythical beasts to gain a comprehensive advantage over the Xia.
