Playing as Zhang Jue, I had to do a lot of babysitting for Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. I'll still take He Yi over my useless brothers, however, because at least he can hold onto territory. He's suicidally brave, you see, which means he loves getting into whatever fights he can find, and he'll absolutely keep dragging you into wars.
Pick the latter and you'll be in for an interesting ride. You can either ask him to join you as one of your generals or support him as a leader in his own right. He was introduced in last year's Yellow Turban DLC and now appears once you've secured the north. He Yi, for instance, is a royal pain in the arse. Sometimes, though, they have other ideas. Over the course of the campaign, more characters will start to appear, depending on certain prerequisites, and can join your cause, and you'll absolutely need their help. Like the Han, leading the rebellion also forces you to be a people person. In my game, some of the AI rebellions were nearly as successful as my own, while other times they were quickly snuffed out and there was nothing I could do to help them, half-way across the country. These resources and effects make the rebellion feel like this organic force that you can take advantage of but can't always control. Yellow Turban buildings and troops can spread fervour, making it more likely that AI rebels will sprout in imperial counties. Fervour, meanwhile, makes things tougher for the Han. Zeal is increased by various actions, like getting into fights, but it will inevitably dwindle, inspiring counties to put their faith back in the Han and rise up against you. Zeal represents how up for a rebellion people are, shared among all three brothers. The most important things in the rebels' bag of tricks are zeal and fervour. Before long, however, the imperial army and warlords will start coming for you. The fragmented and competitive nature of the empire also gives them some breathing room. Off the bat, they'd be wiped out by the empire pretty quickly, but thankfully there are a few turns before the Mandate of Heaven war kicks off, giving them time to gobble up some land without having to fight off all of China straight away. Initially, the three brothers-you pick one but will be allied to the others-who lead the rebellion start off with no territory at all, but they benefit from lots of cash injections and missions that take the pressure off. Like the Han, they also come with new complexities and obstacles. The rebels don't have nearly as many problems to worry about at the start, but don't mistake them for the simple option.
