NOTE FOR COMPLETIONISTS: This achievement is practically unmissable since after finishing the story once (with any faction) you can replay the story from any chapter, while keeping all your skills/unlocks (like New Game+), all on the same save file. That being said, some characters you can bond with can/will die at certain points in the story, rendering them unable to bond with further until you go back and replay previous chapter(s). So it's a good rule of thumb to interact/bond with any officers as soon as you see them on the world map. That way you don't risk missing their Bond interaction and have to backtrack later by replaying old story chapters, trying to figure out what you missed. The same goes for Trainings and Requests - do them right away before progressing the story too much if possible, and you'll have an easier time getting those achievements with minimal backtracking as well.

Bond Lv. ranges anywhere from Acquaintance (basically Bond Lv. 0) to Bond Max. (Bond Lv. 5). The Bond Lv. of every officer can be checked at the Shui Jing Retreat, which is the hut that appears in You province after progressing a bit in the story. Here, you can also check for interactions to see if anyone on the map is ready to meet, or even if you have a letter that will trigger a Bond interaction! So, you should definitely make it a habit to check the Shui Jing Retreat after each story battle you complete.

The Bond Lv. of the different officers in the game are increased via the following methods:

Interacting with the character on the world map, while they have a handshake icon over their head

Interacting with the character on the world map, after they invited you to meet them via a letter. They should also appear with a handshake icon

Completing a Request or Training assigned to you by that character

Completing a Request given by someone else, which affects that character (this is the least common method, by far)

Some officers you can't bond fully with unless you joined their faction in Chapter 3. So, each time you replay the story and join a new faction to work on their different ending, be sure to check the map after each story battle, and see if anyone has appeared on the world map to interact with. Likewise, remember to check your letters too as these can trigger Bond interactions to appear!

MISSING ANY? Let's talk about the officers that are, imo, the trickiest to max. I'll have to spoil some characters that die/can be saved in the story, so be warned:

Dian Wei (Cao) - dies in Chapter 4 as part of the regular Wei story before you can max his Bond Lv. However, he must be saved in order to get the true ending for Wei. After saving him, keep checking for letters/interactions after each story mission to get his Bond Lv. to max

Diaochan (Oth.) - disappears after the events of Chapter 2, before you can max her Bond Lv. But, as long as you have her at Bond Lv. 4 she can send you a letter at a later chapter. However, she only does this once you get Sili province's Peace level to max. Do this, and then you can meet with her and get her Bond Lv. to max. Note, I got enough Peace level to max every province except Liang just by doing the story for the six different endings. So, you should be able to max out the Peace level here and get the meeting with Diaochan without any grinding as long as you do all the endings..

Guo Jia (Cao) - dies in Chapter 5 as part of the regular Wei story before you can max his Bond Lv. However, he must be saved in order to get the true ending for Wei. After saving him, keep checking for letters/interactions after each story mission to get his Bond Lv. to max

Sun Ce (Sun) - dies in Chapter 4 as part of the regular Wu story before you can max his Bond Lv. However, he must be saved in order to get the true ending for Wu. After saving him, keep checking for letters/interactions after each story mission to get his Bond Lv. to max

Sun Jian (Sun) - dies in Chapter 3 before you can max his Bond Lv. However, he must be saved in order to get the true ending for Wu. After saving him (and if his Bond Lv. is already at Lv. 3), go and replay the story from the beginning of Chapter 4 (Sun) (true ending path). Then, complete the first two story missions. Next, find Yuanhua on the world map and complete his request to find medicine for Sun Jian. Doing so will increase his Bond Lv. to 4. To get him to max, you have to read the letter he sends you in Chapter 5, and then meet him on the world map. If you've already saved Sun Ce for the Wu true ending, then you're able to skip right to Chapter 5 (Sun), right before the Battle of Sanjiangkou. If you skip here while Sun Jian is already at Bond Lv. 4, he will send you that letter so you can meet with him and get him to max, guaranteed!

Zhang Jiao (Oth.) - dies in Chapter 1 and is impossible to bond with until you play through the story (any faction) at least once. Once you finish the story: replay from Chapter 1 and keep checking for letters/interactions after each story mission to get his Bond Lv. to max

ONE MORE THING/WARNING: I only noticed it happen once, but I had an instance where a Bond interaction didn't appear on the world map, and when I checked at the Shui Jing Retreat the guy told me there was no one to interact with. And yet, upon loading a story battle and exiting out of it, I suddenly had a new Bond interaction! I assume entering/exiting a battle "refreshes" the world map, so to speak. What's weird is this doesn't seem to do the same thing when stopping at an Inn to check letters. So, if you are missing a bond interaction and think it's just not showing up, try entering and exiting a story mission.
