Their family was in Jiangnan, so why would they travel all the way, suffering together with those Jiangbei refugees to come to Luoyang?
Wasn't it all for the sake of seeking a future?
There was no path more suited to letting them fulfill their ambitions and display their talents than an audience with Zhao Hanzhang; and Zhao Hanzhang hadn't set any requirement about the status of those who came, so why couldn't they go?
So they began to contact one another in private, planning to go by themselves the next day, without needing the Zhou, Lu, and Jiang families to lead them.
Let alone those who could read—even the illiterate were preparing to go; some even brought their own weapons, intending to perform at the banquet for Zhao Hanzhang, hoping to be granted one or two military posts.
Compared to the chaos on the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family's side, the Jiangbei refugees were much more harmonious.
