Wang Yifeng and Wang Xuan took their personal soldiers ahead, while the troops and supplies requested by Zhao Hanzhang were left behind.
Initially, not many officials were willing to obey Wang Yifeng and Wang Xuan's orders. The two were too young, and most importantly, they both carried the Wang surname.
Humph, anyone with the Wang surname is no good. One Wang Cheng wreaked havoc in Jingzhou; now they send two more Wangs to take over, as if Jingzhou's officials and gentry are easy to fool?
Thus, officials at all levels acted independently, colluding with friendly gentry, building Wu Castles, and seizing refugees, essentially opposing the Inspector Mansion.
Of course, all these were done secretly. If they were to rebel, they couldn't just tattoo "I dissent" on their heads, right?
