This method is useful, since the root cause of the fall of each state and county is insufficient military strength. If they are allowed to recruit their own troops, this problem can be solved.
However, He Jin overlooked one point: once these people had the right to recruit soldiers independently, would they still be wholeheartedly committed to annihilating the Yellow Turban Army?
No, human nature is greedy; they will only continue to grow stronger and will not allow the Yellow Turban Army to perish.
Because as long as the Yellow Turban Rebellion existed, they could continue to recruit soldiers on their own until they became like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, gradually weakening the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Because of Lu Li, Cao Cao came into contact with Guo Jia ahead of time, which changed someone's fate once again, because Xi Zhicai was still at Yingchuan Academy and had not yet entered officialdom.
