My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 443 Giving Each Other a Hard Time

August 27th.

Ten miles outside Ye City, Gao Yu ordered his soldiers to assemble a ceremonial guard to welcome the emperor's carriage, and musicians were also on standby to play music.

Yang Yin and Yang Zhong stood together.

"This emperor has quite the grand style of gambling; he made me wait here for two whole days before finally arriving late..."

Yang Zhong gritted his teeth, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

Yang Yin, however, was neither angry nor annoyed; in fact, he was secretly pleased. “The Emperor’s actions show that he has lost the hearts of his generals and soldiers.”

To destroy something, you must first make it mad.

The more Yuan Xiu acted up, the happier he became. Getting Gao Yu to make up his mind sooner would save him a lot of trouble.

He even wished that Yuan Xiu would pull off more outrageous moves.

The very front position.

Gao Yu stood at the front of the procession, gazing into the distance, where he could vaguely see a grand procession slowly approaching on the horizon.

"General, can't you see that the Emperor is acting this way? He is unwilling to accept this..."

Cui Xian continued to offer advice and persuasion.

Gao Yu didn't reply, continuing to look at the horizon until a small black dot actually appeared.

Only then did he turn around.

"Liu Yi, relay my military order: The Emperor's carriage is approaching. Have everyone prepare to follow me to welcome the Emperor's carriage!"

"Here!"

Liu Yi went to relay the order, while Gao Yu looked at Cui Xian and chuckled.

"Jilun, you... you are usually so calm and composed, why are you so impatient now? Come with me to welcome the Emperor."

Cui Xian sighed inwardly.

Am I really that anxious?
Today is a beautiful day; the sky is cloudless, and the warm sunshine feels wonderful on my skin.

The honor guard had already lined up in formation. Gao Yu had specially ordered all the well-maintained and polished Mingguang armor to be selected, and also selected a group of tall and strong elite soldiers.

These valiant warriors, clad in gleaming armor, stood in formation before me, creating a magnificent sight with unparalleled visual impact, making them appear as a pack of fierce and powerful warriors.

The emperor's carriage is slowly approaching.

The musicians all took out their instruments and prepared to begin playing.

This battle.

The pacification of Hebei was a great victory for Gao Yu.

There is also a very important political significance.

Yuan Xiu was enthroned by Gao Huan in Ye City. When Erzhu Rong led a large army to invade, Yuan Xiu was forced to flee to Qinghe with his ministers for refuge.

Now that Gao Yu has recaptured Ye City and brought the emperor back to the capital, its significance is naturally extraordinary.

Inside the convoy in the distance.

"Your Majesty, General Tian Ce and his troops are lined up at the front to welcome you."

Someone rushed in to report.

Yuan Xiu, inside the imperial carriage, said coldly, "I understand."

He lifted the curtain and glanced into the distance. He could indeed see a large, dark mass of people waiting for him. In fact, he could almost see the leader, a handsome and extraordinary general who seemed more like a ruler than he did.

A deep jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Damn pretty boy!

How dare he show him such disrespect? He deliberately left his car in the same spot for two days, just hoping Gao Yu would back down and come to see him on his own initiative?

He keeps claiming to be a loyal subject of the Great Wei, but is this how loyal he is?

"By imperial decree, halt!"

Yuan Xiu ordered the convoy to stop where it was.

At this moment, he was actually less than 150 zhang away from Gao Yu, about 500 meters away.

After the convoy came to a smooth stop, Yuan Xiu alighted from the imperial carriage and, under the protection of the imperial guards, walked to the front of the convoy.

Upon seeing this, Wang Sizheng, Sima Ziru, and the others exchanged glances.

Especially Wang Sizheng.

Did Yuan Xiu heed my words of advice?

Is he planning to give Gao Yu face and take the initiative to travel such a long distance to meet him?
result?

After Yuan Xiu walked to the front of the convoy, he stopped and stood there without saying a word. Everyone was completely confused.

Only Wang Sizheng and the others changed their expressions, realizing something was amiss.

Sima Ziru muttered a curse under her breath.

"That fool who doesn't know his own mortality is still provoking Mohedu."

Wang Sizheng nodded subconsciously, deeply agreeing.

Even at this point, you're still thinking of forcing Gao Yu to bow down to you?
They completely disregarded their own situation just for the sake of saving face.

How could someone be so stupid?
Does he really think that with the emperor's identity protecting him, no one can do anything to him?

To cite a more recent example, there was Sima Zhao who murdered the emperor in the street.

How did Yuan Ziyou die?

Didn't Erzhu Rong give Yuan Ziyou enough face before?
This really angered Erzhu Rong.

Isn't it just a matter of stabbing someone in the street?

The emperor's divine authority has long since diminished; how can he not understand such a simple truth?

And the other side.

Seeing that the emperor's carriage had suddenly stopped, Gao Yu hesitated to move forward.

"Liu Yi, go...and see what happened."

Liu Yi immediately rode off on horseback, and then hurriedly returned.

His face was extremely pale, but he still managed to say, "General, His Majesty says he is unwell and unable to continue the journey..."

Hear the words.

The group of people behind Gao Yu changed their expressions drastically.

Generals like Yang Zhong and Peng Le wore expressions of rage!

Gao Yu remained expressionless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Go, bring the horse."

"Since the Emperor is unwell, we, as his subjects, should take the initiative to go and see him."

"General!!"

Everyone was very puzzled.

They had no choice but to obediently mount their horses and follow behind Gao Yu.

Gao Yu cracked his whip and led his generals away from the ceremonial guard, heading towards the emperor's carriage.

Yuan Xiu heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance, and only then did a slight smile appear on his face.

soon.

Gao Yu then led everyone on horseback to the carriage. He tightened the reins and deliberately reduced the speed.

Yuan Xiu had already seen him.

He adopted an arrogant posture, holding his head high and trying to project the majesty of an emperor, waiting for Gao Yu to kneel before him.

I saw.

Gao Yu raised his hand.

The generals behind him dismounted one after another. No matter how unwilling they were, they could not disobey Gao Yu's orders.

Can……

Instead of dismounting, Gao Yu squeezed his legs slightly, urging the horse forward slowly, constantly closing in on Yuan Xiu.

"How dare you!! Quickly...quickly...dismount."

Upon seeing this, several imperial guards quickly stepped in front of Yuan Xiu, only to find that the generals behind Gao Yu were all looking at them with murderous eyes. Their legs trembled and they stammered as they spoke.

Gao Yu also gave the imperial guards a cold look.

Their murderous aura and piercing gazes instilled fear in them, causing them to retreat in fear.

With no one stopping him, Gao Yu spurred his horse forward again until he reached Yuan Xiu.

He sat on his horse, looking down at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu's face was extremely unpleasant, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Damn!

That damn Gao Yu!

How dare they show such contempt for the Emperor!
