Although Wang Xuan also didn't much like Wang Cheng's style, considering this was his own uncle who died supporting the Northern Expedition, he was unwilling to let it go. So after Zhao Hanzhang smoothly returned to the court, he started moving east, with the intent to rival Wang Dun.
At this point, it was no longer just a conflict between the North and the South or Zhao Hanzhang and King Langya, but also an internal struggle within the Wang family.
Wang Dun, due to his cousin being Wang Dao and their close relationship with King Langya, saw many clan members following him as Wang Dao had shown his gentlemanly demeanor in the past two years. However, many clan members also chose to side with Wang Xuan and Wang Si Niang.
Especially after Zhao Hanzhang first subdued Shi Le and then destroyed the Xiongnu Kingdom, more Wang clan members from Yangzhou went to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Wang Si Niang, and some even went directly north to find Zhao Hanzhang.
