Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, the change in Sima Yi's expression only lasted for a moment before he returned to calm.

At this moment, Sima Yi knew very well that if he did not have the title of "disciple of a national scholar", given Gan Ning's status, ordinary scholars would not even have the chance to see him, let alone command Gan Ning's actions.

Gan Ning was willing to follow Sima Yi's orders, but that was Li Ji's order, not that he really valued Sima Yi.

This little trick in the treasure bag is, after all, a trick to test whether the other party obeys or not.

Obviously, Gan Ning did not give Sima Yi such a face and opened the letter to read it on the spot.

However, the light in the room was a little dim, and Gan Ning could not see the handwriting on the paper clearly, so he said something.

"Hold the lamp."

Immediately, a close confidant of the Jinfan bandits who followed Gan Ning came forward, opened the fire starter, lit a lamp and brought it to Gan Ning's side.

Gan Ning looked carefully at the contents of the brocade bag under the light and asked.

"Have you reported this plan to the Marquis and received his approval?"

"nature."

Sima Yi, who was treated with implicit contempt, answered calmly with his childish face that could not hide his childishness.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the food, fodder and weapons needed for the plan will be delivered along the Huai River in five days."

Gan Ning nodded and had already made a judgment in his mind.

Without Li Ji's strong support, Sima Yi would naturally not have been able to let Shouchun send all the food, fodder and military equipment along the Huai River and the Wei River.

Sima Yi's plan was not complicated, or rather, it did not require a complicated plan to lure a group of desperate starving people.

It is enough to give the hungry people a little hope and reliance, and then achieve a righteous cause that can convince them.

Afterwards, according to Sima Yi's arrangement, a large amount of yellow cloth was piled up in another room in the small village.

Impersonating the Yellow Turbans is the simplest and most direct way.

Perhaps the Yellow Turbans had already become a target of public condemnation in the entire Han Dynasty, but for the hungry people who saw no hope, the Yellow Turbans would become their only life-saving straw.

Gan Ning grabbed a yellow scarf and tied it around his forehead.

The Jinfan bandits who followed also followed suit and tied yellow scarves on their foreheads.

Nearly ten years have passed since Zhang Jue started the rebellion. Even though there are still many Yellow Turban bandits causing chaos in various parts of the Han Dynasty, it is obviously impossible for the Taiping Taoism to be passed down.

Once you put on the yellow turban, you will naturally become a real yellow turban bandit.

Then, according to the arrangements made in advance by Sima Yi, Gan Ning commanded the Jinfan bandits to divide into twenty teams, each with forty people, and headed towards the villages around Dan County.

Prior to this, Sima Yi had already ascertained the situation around Dan County through the Jinyi Division, and the rumors he secretly spread were not only related to the aristocratic families, but also spread that the descendants of the Great Sage Master appeared in Yuzhou and were interested in saving people all over the world.

The appearance of the Jinfan bandits led by Gan Ning was to confirm the authenticity of the rumor that he was the successor of the Great Sage Master.

The Jinfan thieves sent to this village will also publicly announce that the Great Sage will emerge from the river with food in five days to save the world.

Moreover, Sima Yi prepared a catchy nursery rhyme for this purpose.

"The Zhang River burned, the Wei River revived. The Yellow Sky is immortal, and its blessings live on among the people." For a time, with the joint efforts of the Yellow Turban Party impersonated by the Jinfan thieves and the Jinyi Division, this nursery rhyme spread throughout the vicinity of Dan County as quickly as a hurricane.

Not only the more than 100,000 people around Dan County knew it clearly, but almost everyone in the officials and officials in Dancheng had heard of it.

To this end, the magistrate of Dan County specially summoned the heads of all the powerful families in the city to hold a night banquet to discuss the matter.

As the local official, the magistrate of Dan County was very handsome, with regular features and a rather elegant and graceful temperament. Anyone who saw him could not help but secretly admire his gentlemanly demeanor.

However, compared with the miserable scene of the people outside the city who were starving and complaining, the night banquet hosted by the magistrate of Dan County was extremely luxurious.

There were more than ten musicians and dancers, and dozens of beautiful maids covered with gauze, who kept shuttling back and forth to serve the dignitaries who had arrived.

From time to time, dignitaries could not resist the temptation and hugged the maids beside them, causing suppressed sounds to be heard from time to time in this luxurious banquet.

"The county magistrate has good vision. He has repeatedly picked out pearls from a pile of mud, and did not let them go to waste by working hard all day and losing their brilliance."

The middle-aged man holding a maid in his arms reached his hand into her clothes to explore, while speaking to the magistrate of Tan County with some flattery.

The maid, who looked only about ten years old, had a red face full of shame and anger, but she did not dare to resist. She subconsciously pushed the man in gorgeous clothes with her hands, but she did not dare to use any force at all.

This look of wanting to accept but also rejecting made the middle-aged man feel even more excited.

If he hadn't had to be a little concerned about his image at this night party, this middle-aged man might have already lost his patience.

Looking at the anxious look of the middle-aged man, the magistrate of Dan County, who was sitting in the main seat, responded while sipping the wine carefully.

"It's just that I saw the people were in poverty and had no choice but to sell their children to survive. Since I am the county magistrate, how can I turn a blind eye to it? Naturally, I selected some and brought them to my mansion to raise them..."

After a pause, the magistrate of Dan County looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be quite excited, and said.

"If you really like this girl, why not bring her back to your house so that she can live a rich and luxurious life? What do you think?"

"Then I would like to thank the county magistrate for his reward."

The middle-aged man thanked him repeatedly and raised his wine cup to toast the magistrate of Dan County.

However, not everyone at this night banquet was fond of beauty. A white-haired old man sitting at the upper right side of the banquet table looked at the beautiful maids on both sides as if they were nothing. From time to time, he sipped the wine and spoke.

"I wonder if the county magistrate has heard about the Yellow Turbans appearing outside the city? Moreover, the Yellow Turban bandits are constantly roaming between villages and towns, and seem to be looking for an opportunity to start a rebellion."

"This county has also heard about this matter, so we invited you all to come here to discuss a countermeasure." The magistrate of Dan County replied.

In Yuzhou, a county with the most prosperous aristocratic families, the chief officials are undoubtedly the powerful aristocratic families who truly control the place.

Without the support of the noble and powerful families, the magistrate of Dan County would be just a figurehead. Even the food and fodder needed for the large number of young and strong men who were forcibly conscripted in the city were provided by the noble and powerful families.

Otherwise, how could a local county's granary alone be able to afford such huge food and fodder expenses?

As the magistrate of Dan County talked about business, the expressions of everyone at the banquet became slightly serious. The magistrate of Dan County even directly dismissed the musicians and other irrelevant people at the banquet.

Yellow scarf!

In the eyes of the aristocratic families and powerful people, this matter is undoubtedly a matter that can be either a big deal or a small one.

The scale of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou before was so huge that there were millions of them. They targeted a certain county town and were undoubtedly difficult to resist. (End of this chapter)
