When the Prince of Xihe takes up his fiefdom, he will have to rely heavily on Brother Wenjie!

Upon hearing this, Han Fu immediately labeled Zhao Hao as an 'honest man'.

And he secretly thought he had made the right bet!

Following Zhao Hao was indeed much more pleasant than following Yuan Shao.

"Oh dear, in the future, whatever command the Marquis of Qin gives, I, Han Fu and Han Wenjie, will never dare to disobey!"

Let alone three people, even if they were all given to Marquis Qin, I, Han, would be willing!

"I wonder...which three men does the general want?"

Zhao Hao had been waiting for Han Fu to say this, so he extended his index finger and pointed at the three people he valued.

"General Gao Lan, General Zhang He, and Prefect Ju Shou."

"I only need these three!"

Han Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He would have been heartbroken if Zhao Hao had asked for his general Pan Feng.

"All three are talented individuals from Ji Province, and I find it difficult to part with them. However, if Marquis Qin has any requests, it must be for the sake of his family, country, and the world!"

In that case, Fu should obey the orders of the Marquis of Qin!

Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Ju Shou, from this day forward, the three of you will serve under the Lord of Qin and obey his commands!

"You mustn't tarnish the reputation of the people of Jizhou, understand?!"

"promise..."

In fact, the three of them had long harbored resentment towards Han Fu, that spineless Shangguan.

If we replace him with someone like Zhao Hao, who is handsome, energetic, quick-witted, and ambitious, it seems like he would be a good match!

Furthermore, the fact that Zhao Hao personally asked Han Fu for the three of them proves that Zhao Hao had verified their abilities and expressed his approval.

The three of them had already begun to dream about their promising future careers in government...

"Very well, Brother Wenjie, the army is in danger of changing at any time. I would like to ask you to return to Jinyang to pay your respects to the Emperor and wait for my news."

"Yes, yes, this is a matter of great importance to the nation, and I should not trouble the general. I will now take my leave with my subordinates and return to Jinyang."

Now all the officials in Ji Province have been placed under Zhao Hao's command, and they can't go back to Ji Province anyway.

Instead of dwelling on the past, Han Fu chose to imagine just how wonderful it would be to be a local tyrant in Xihe County...

If he knew that although Zhao Hao had given him the position of general with subordinate officials, and was also the Marquis of Guannei and concurrently the governor of Xihe Commandery, he would not have the authority to appoint administrative officials of the prefectures and counties.

I might be mentally devastated.

"I have long heard of the renowned reputations of the three of you, but I have never had the chance to meet you, which I have often regretted. Now that we have met, the three of you need not be so reserved."

"Come with me, and we shall have a good talk today and get to know each other better!"
