Shao Yunduan, along with Jia Heming and the other two County Magistrates, managed to pacify the populace with relative ease.
After seizing the four cities from the Prefect of Hangzhou, Shao Yunduan wisely halted further expansion.
He understood the principle of not biting off more than one could chew. These newly acquired cities would require careful management and consolidation before any further actions could be considered.
Shao Yunduan was not driven by greed; instead, he epitomized prudence and deliberation. This was his true strength.
Upon receiving the order, Zheng Sangge promptly transitioned from offense to defense.
The Prefect of Hangzhou, seething with anger, perceived Shao Yunduan's actions as excessive. He harbored deep-seated resentment and vowed revenge. Now, with Zheng Sangge transitioning to a defensive stance, the Prefect saw an opportunity. He believed Shao Yunduan was vulnerable and incapable of maintaining his hold on the newly acquired territories.
