Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

"I am General of the Yellow Heaven! Those who are willing to obey the Yellow Heaven's orders will be fed!!!"

After Gan Ning shouted these words, and then the Jinfan pirates, who had been guiding a large number of starving people here, repeated them in unison.

The faces of the starving people, full of hunger, flushed red, and they shouted enthusiastically in unison.

"We are willing to obey the Yellow Heaven's orders!"

Individual rationality has no meaning in the fanaticism of the group.

For the starving people, their empty bellies would replace their brains and make a choice towards the mountains of food.

The previous doubts will also be completely transformed into unwavering belief at this moment.

Smoke soon rose from the banks of the Guo River.

Strips of yellow headscarves were voluntarily tied on the foreheads of the starving people!

The Guo River not only brought them food, but also grew a pile of weapons of varying quality.

Of course, this was deliberately done by Li Ji, and it was not that Shouchun could not provide the Han's standard weapons.

It's just that some details need to be concealed, so naturally, we still need to be careful to cover them up.

Therefore, the weapons sent along the Guo River were all kinds of weapons seized over the years, all of which were piled up in several remote armories for storage.

The original plan was to reforge these weapons and then uniformly create standard weapons.

However, with the development of Jiaozhou and Yizhou, some copper and iron mines were successively discovered and developed, and a large amount of ore was sent to Yangzhou every day.

This, on the contrary, allowed these seized weapons to be piled up in the armory without being processed, which can be regarded as clearing the inventory.

Of course, even though these are seized weapons that Li Ji doesn't like, their actual quality is not bad, and even much stronger than those used by Cao Jun.

As weapons were distributed one by one, even if Gan Ning was not very good at leading large-scale troops, with the eight hundred Jinfan pirates as the backbone, he could barely command this newly formed Yellow Turban volunteer army.

Gan Ning also conducted a pre-war mobilization oath for this Yellow Turban volunteer army based on the content provided by Sima Yi.

The oath was undoubtedly aimed at the aristocratic families and powerful clans.

Even if Gan Ning himself was not very good at arousing people's hearts, the content of the oath prepared by Sima Yi was extremely煽动性.

In addition, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has been constantly spreading a lot of rumors about the aristocratic families and powerful clans…

No, perhaps it shouldn't be said that they were rumors, but merely retelling and spreading the actions of the aristocratic families and powerful clans.

The seeds planted in advance, under the irrigation of this oath and the guidance of the great righteousness of the Yellow Heaven, undoubtedly completely triggered the hatred and anger of this Yellow Turban volunteer army towards the aristocratic families and powerful clans.

This Yellow Turban volunteer army, also under Gan Ning's order, re-marched towards the direction of Dan County.

And when this Yellow Turban volunteer army took shape, it almost constantly attracted starving people or civilians from the surrounding areas to join it.

The scale of the Yellow Turban volunteer army also rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the scouts deployed outside Dan County discovered this Yellow Turban volunteer army, this Yellow Turban volunteer army was less than ten miles away from Dan City.

And the scale was so large that, from a distance… it was overwhelming.

When the magistrate of Dan County was shocked by this news, he hurriedly ordered the county lieutenant in the city to rectify the army, and then rushed to the west wall.

When the magistrate of Dan County arrived at the city wall, panting, and looked at the large swathes of crowds slowly approaching Dan County in the distance, which seemed to be endless, his expression changed greatly.

"Where did so many Yellow Turbans come from?"

The magistrate of Dan County exclaimed in surprise, his voice full of disbelief.

The registered population of Dan County is only about 170,000 to 80,000, but the magistrate of Dan County estimates that the number of Yellow Turban bandits outside the city is already no less than 30,000.

Even if looking around, they are almost all old, weak, women and children, but the overwhelming expanse makes the magistrate of Dan County tremble from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, the magistrate of Dan County knows that there are only a few hundred scattered Yellow Turban bandits wandering outside the city. How could they have expanded to a scale of tens of thousands in just a few days?

Just as the magistrate of Dan County was trembling and at a loss while looking at the Yellow Turban bandits outside the city, a group of aristocratic families and powerful clans in the city, hearing that the Yellow Turbans were coming, also successively boarded the city tower, also with faces full of disbelief.

"How is this possible?!"

"Where did so many Yellow Turban bandits come from in Yu Province? Are the chief officials and prefects in various places eating dry food?"

"Why do they all have iron weapons in their hands? Aren't the Yellow Turban bandits rumored to be holding hoes and sickles? Could it be that weapons can grow in the ground?"

… …

The voices of a group of aristocratic families and powerful clans became more and more panicked.

"Calm down!"

The magistrate of Dan County said in a deep voice.

"These Yellow Turban rebels are just some old, weak, women and children! Although I don't know where they got their weapons from, they don't have any siege methods, and their movements are just a chaotic mess."

"We only need to defend the city. Although the city wall of Dan County is not high, it is enough to stop these rebels."

As soon as these words came out, everyone managed to calm down a little, nodding and whispering in agreement.

"What the magistrate said is very true. The Yellow Turban rebels have always lacked siege methods. What can they do to me?"

"And there are still a large number of young and strong men available in the city, so there is no need to worry about not being able to defend the city."

"These so-called Yellow Turban rebels are just superficially strong, but in reality, they are no different from a group of lowly people. They are vulnerable. Don't worry, everyone."

Of course, although that's what they said, there was no doubt that everyone's eyes still couldn't hide their panic, understanding that the Yellow Turbans were so powerful that Dan County was in danger of being breached.

The magistrate of Dan County also reminded in a hurried tone.

"Dan County is in imminent danger. I hope that you all can work together with one heart to defend the city. You should quickly mobilize all your family slaves and servants to come to the city wall to assist in defending the city."

"Good!"

To this, this group of aristocratic families and powerful clans did not have the intention to decline, and they all sent their confidants back home to mobilize their family slaves and servants.

If it was Marquis Guoshi leading troops to attack the city, these aristocratic families and powerful clans would not be so desperate. Even if the city was breached, they could cede a part of their interests to Liu Bei to show their surrender.

But if the Yellow Turbans were to breach the city, it has always been a disaster that would lead to the confiscation of their homes and the extermination of their clans.

A group of rebels who breached the city would not talk about any rules, they would rob anyone they saw, and rush into various mansions.

And when Dan County was in a chaotic state of making a series of responses, and a large number of young and strong men who could be used to defend the city were driven to the city wall.

The overwhelming Yellow Turban army outside the city had already arrived under the city of Dan County.

Gan Ning, with his face covered with a mask, walked in the forefront, and the fierce aura emanating from him invisibly made the magistrate of Dan County and others on the city wall nervous.

In fact, Gan Ning's leading the way in the forefront was a last resort.

Those who are truly good at leading troops should be located in the central army to dispatch various departments, driving the various departments to advance and deploy like arms and fingers.

But when Gan Ning tried to truly dispatch this chaotic Yellow Turban volunteer army, he only felt that when the order was issued, there was no response anywhere, but he was disturbed by the shouts of women and children and the cries of children from all around.
