Chapter 254 – Eccentric Strategists
February 15th, 183 A.D.
Sun Jian, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Sun Fang, Li Jing, and 60,000 soldiers gathered at Guanzong County, west of Ganling Commandery. They stopped here to enlist more volunteer forces and resupply the troops.
30,000 Elites belonged to Sun Jian's men, but the others came from various noble families and their private troops. These people tagged along to scrap some contribution and achievement from the battle so they could get promoted to a higher tier noble as well.
Contrary to Sun Jian, he did not want to participate in this war because of the coalition or for the promotion, he came here to put a stop to the bandits that claimed to be Yellow Turbans.
Unlike the others, Sun Jian saw through the bandit situation as a whole. He knew that the real Yellow Turbans under Zhang Jiao were righteous as they proved their actions in Ganling. However, the imposters were cancers that needed to be eliminated.
