Retainer Armies

When the state cannot defend a province, the people will see to matters themselves.

As the power of the Han wanes, those who are able to muster their own forces do so.

Whilst noblemen are able to swiftly amass a following, there is also a mustering of forces more locally; in regions where the Han's influence is weakest, provincial military forces coalesce around local figures, who then use these forces to defend their lands.

They also bring these retainer armies with them when pledging loyalty to another, more powerful leader - those who now stake their claim to China's throne.
