He knew that turning back now would mean certain doom.
Not just for himself, but for everyone who had pledged allegiance to him. They had no choice but to press forward with unwavering determination!
The news of summoning all the County Magistrates to Hangzhou City spread swiftly, and the response was enthusiastic.
Many County Magistrates had never met Shao Yunduan in person before, so they were naturally eager to meet him in Hangzhou. Meeting him face-to-face would reassure them greatly.
Upon receiving the summons, the County Magistrates began making preparations immediately. They arranged their affairs and planned their journey to Hangzhou, aiming to arrive a few days early if possible. This would afford them time to acquaint themselves with the city, make connections, and gather useful information.
Their destinies were intricately tied to Shao Yunduan's, so the more they could learn and understand, the better prepared they would be.
