In mid-to-late June, calls for Dong Zhuo to establish himself as emperor grew louder across the country, and many generals from outlying regions also submitted memorials requesting that Dong Zhuo inherit the Han dynasty and ascend to the throne.
During this period, officials who moved to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo repeatedly "voluntarily" submitted memorials requesting that Dong Zhuo ascend the throne.
Dong Zhuo finally held his coronation ceremony on July 1st!
"Young master, the matter has been settled! I have also met with Jia Wenhe!"
Meanwhile, on that morning, Zhang Yan appeared before Zhao Hao, looking travel-worn.
"Ha! I knew my cousin could pull this off! Come on, tell me about Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, what did he say to you?"
Zhang Yan nodded, thought for a moment to confirm that it was correct, and then relayed the message.
"Mr. Jia Xu said that as long as General Zhao pacifies Sili and Liangzhou, he has a plan to make Zhang Ji hand over Nanyang without hesitation. However... however, Mr. Wenhe also said that the general needs more time to digest these two territories before he can take Nanyang without any hidden dangers."
General, should we require the old Black Mountain troops to infiltrate...?
"Stop!"
Zhang Yan clearly felt that since Jia Xu was unreliable, he would use his strengths and infiltrate Nanyang to act as a facilitator.
But Zhao Hao doesn't need to do that now. Even if it were Li Ru, if he hadn't come to him, Zhao Hao would really like to fight the entire Xiliang Group in a real battle, so that his soldiers who were not summoned by the system could be baptized in blood and sweat.
However, Li Ru's sudden defection forced Zhao Hao to make some changes to his plans. Otherwise, these Xiliang troops could have put enough pressure on Zhao Hao and provided him with some fun.
Now? Now everything is settled. Zhao Hao had already considered what Jia Xu said.
Zhang Ji was no fool; he had many ways to take over Nanyang through "peaceful evolution."
Zhao Hao would never use Zhang Yan's stupid method, not even if it meant his death.
"Nanyang is a small place, surrounded by land on all sides, and its prosperity is no longer what it used to be."
My dear cousin, our next goal is to develop the capital region and Liangzhou; we absolutely will not consider such a wasteful undertaking.
Zhao Hao had made his point clear, so Zhang Yan couldn't reveal her own plot to kill someone.
"Alright... then when should we launch our attack on Chang'an? That traitor Dong Zhuo intends to usurp the Han throne today, and you don't seem to be planning an attack right now..."
Zhao Hao nodded. "Haste makes waste, cousin. You still need to practice."
We can't wear our hearts on our sleeves and let others guess what we're thinking.
Now is not the time to take action. You've just gotten back, so go and rest for a while.
Then, immediately return to command the infantry army and await my orders!
"promise!"
After sending Zhang Yan away, Zhao Hao met with Han Fu and her entourage, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Of course, Zhao Hao only pays attention to a few people.

"We greet Lord Qin!"
Zhao Hao originally planned to have these people meet in Jinyang together with Kong Rong and the young emperor after they finished fighting.
However, Han Fu couldn't wait to meet Zhao Hao in person first, otherwise he said he wouldn't be able to put his mind at ease and would be afraid day and night that Zhao Hao would follow in Yuan Shao's footsteps and drown him in the latrine.
This guy is still somewhat useful. At least his subordinates Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan, Li Li, Geng Wu, and Min Chun, although their abilities are average, are all loyal and righteous people.
If you say Zhao Hao lacks talent, he certainly won't in a while.
However, Zhao Hao happened to have a use for these people, so he met with them in advance.
"Brother Wenjie, this is our first official meeting. What do you think of the conditions I proposed?"
Han Fu didn't expect Zhao Hao to be so frank and outspoken as soon as they met.
This must be the straightforward nature of frontier warriors; they are much more believable than people like Yuan Shao!
"Lord Qin has treated me so well, appointing me as General of Anxi and providing me with his subordinates. How could I possibly be ungrateful for such a great favor?"
Indeed, aside from what Zhao Hao revealed to Wang Jian about Han Fu's supposed death at the hands of Yuan Shao in the novel or historical records, Zhao Hao also promised Han Fu an even more generous reward.
The salary of a general with a high rank was much higher than that of a general with a miscellaneous rank promised by Yuan Shao, not to mention that Zhao Hao also allowed Han Fu to retain his subordinates and military power.
Therefore, when Guo Tu proposed the title of General of Fenwei, Han Fu resolutely sided with Zhao Hao. Although the Yuan family had a great reputation, their actions were despicable and he despised them.
Not to mention, conquering the world is no easy task. Yuan Benchu had only been in power for a short time when Zhao Hao had already infiltrated his ranks and obtained such top-secret information.
It's clear who is stronger and who is weaker!
"Hehe, in that case... I will ask General Anxi for three people. As for the others, the general can take them to Xihe County."
I believe that the title of General of Anxi alone is insufficient to commemorate the great achievements Brother Han has made. I believe that... the positions of Marquis of Guannei and Prefect of Xihe County are necessary to ensure Brother Han's loyalty to our army.
