Within two days, Shao Yunduan sent another letter to Zheng Sangge.
After a discussion with Qiao Xuan, he felt a surge of emotion. Why should they allow themselves to be bullied, even by someone like Su Huai? Instead of waiting for Su Huai to seek revenge, why not strike first?
They decided to give it a try. After deliberating, they sent a letter to Zheng Sangge, instructing him to investigate thoroughly. They needed to assess the military strength and defense situation of Hangzhou City. If reinforcements were required, they would respond promptly and provide support from the rear.
The plan was to lure Su Huai into making a move, then annihilate him in one decisive blow. They intended to dictate the terms of the engagement, ensuring Su Huai could not fight on his own terms. If he was hesitant, they would provoke him into action, drawing him out to be defeated.
