Chapter 38

Inside the room.

Gu Yi sat opposite Zhang He.

Before Zhang He could react, Gu Yi spoke first:

"Junyi, you are a capable person."

"But under Han Fu, you have no hope of ever getting ahead; do you know the reason?"

Asked this by Gu Yi, Zhang He was stunned.

He had always thought that he wasn't valued because he was young.

Once his qualifications were sufficient, he should be promoted and valued.

But now, looking at Gu Yi's sincere eyes.

Zhang He kept questioning himself in his heart: what is the reason Han Fu doesn't value him?

"Junyi, you are not from an aristocratic family, nor are you from a military family."

"Although you can't be considered a commoner."

"But relying on your original background to get ahead is just wishful thinking."

"Among those valued under Han Fu, whose birth status is not higher than yours?"

"Under such a lord, how could you possibly be valued?"

"I..."

As the words fell, Zhang He wanted to argue a bit.

But when he came to his senses and thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the truth.

None of those valued by Han Fu were from humble backgrounds.

The abilities of these people, in Zhang He's view, were very average, or even could be called pathetic.

Yet these guys firmly occupied the important positions in Jizhou.

Besides this.

Zhang He thought about being captured today.

Originally, Zhang He was not on the coalition generals' battle list at all.

If he hadn't quietly followed Yan Liang and Wen Chou to charge out.

I'm afraid Han Fu would never have thought of giving this performance opportunity to Zhang He.

"Junyi, you are a smart man; I'm sure I don't need to point it out too much."

"Among the Guandong warlords, the remaining group is of the same nature as Han Fu."

"If you were to defect to their side, I'm afraid you would only end up as cannon fodder."

"I have said all I can; where you go is up to you to decide."

After speaking, Gu Yi made a move to get up and leave.

He believed that under the influence of the 【Eloquent and Persuasive】 feature.

As long as Zhang He wasn't mentally ill.

He would definitely make the right choice.

Sure enough.

Just as Gu Yi stood up, a flash of determination appeared in Zhang He's eyes.

Subsequently, he said aloud:

"Zhang Junyi will follow your orders from now on, sir!"

"I hope you can help me become famous throughout the world!"

Zhang He was still young at this time, and as a general, what he desired most was fame.

Gu Yi seemed to have given Zhang He nothing.

But he gave Zhang He the most important thing!

Fairness, and damn it, fairness!

With Zhang He's excellent ability, leaving his name in history is not difficult.

But what is difficult is that his upward space and channels were cut off!

In stark contrast to the Guandong warlords.

The generals under Dong Zhuo mostly had the same background as Zhang He.

Some were even worse than Zhang He.

Without a doubt.

For Zhang He at this moment, joining the Dong Zhuo army meant a bright future.

If he didn't join the Dong Zhuo army, even if Gu Yi really let him return to the Guandong coalition, he would only receive exclusion and oppression.

Of course.

Rather than saying Zhang He was serving Dong Zhuo as his lord, it would be better to say he had recognized Gu Yi.

Even if he achieved military merit in the future, he would become Gu Yi's core subordinate.

Having accepted Zhang He, Gu Yi was in a great mood.

The second person he went to persuade was Han Hao.

Compared to the immature Zhang He, Han Hao was a bit older.

But Han Hao also lived more transparently.

His original lord was the Henei Administrator Wang Kuang, a man without great ambition.

He had no ability and no fame.

The reason Han Hao followed Wang Kuang.

Was just because his official position was Henei Attendant.

Plus, he had never had the opportunity to seek another wise lord before.

But now it was different.

Han Hao had become a prisoner; he understood that only by following the Dong Zhuo army could he have a future.

Therefore, under Gu Yi's solicitation, Han Hao soon chose to surrender.

Like Zhang He, Han Hao also nominally recognized Dong Zhuo as his lord, but actually followed Gu Yi.

Besides Zhang He and Han Hao.

Gu Yi didn't have much interest in the remaining few.

Eventually.

Except for the loyal Zu Mao under Sun Jian and the loyal Yan Gang under Gongsun Zan.

The remaining few generals all chose to surrender.

But these two who didn't surrender also had great value in Gu Yi's eyes.

Zu Mao was one of the "four founding generals" under Sun Jian.

The other three were Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang.

Compared to the other three, Zu Mao's reputation was the least prominent.

In history, Zu Mao died at the hands of Hua Xiong to rescue Sun Jian.

But in this life, due to Gu Yi's butterfly effect, Sun Jian did not fight Hua Xiong.

Zu Mao also luckily kept his life.

It is a pity that he escaped the disaster at Sishui Pass but could not escape Hulao Pass.

As for the major general Yan Gang under Gongsun Zan.

This person might have average ability.

But in Gongsun Zan's heart, he was an irreplaceable right-hand man.

Besides this, Yan Gang was the commander of the elite White Horse Followers under Gongsun Zan!

His importance to Gongsun Zan goes without saying.
