My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 481 The Peerless Ghost God Arrives!

Youzhou and Yanjun were also known as Ji County, which was the location of Beijing in the future.

After Gao Yu traveled north from Yingzhou, he arrived here immediately.

In fact, during this era, Fanyang County and Yuyang County, located southwest and southeast of Ji County, were more famous.

The Lu family of Fanyang, the iron cavalry of Yuyang.

The Yuyang Iron Cavalry was actually the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. They were an important asset to Liu Xiu in rebuilding the Han Dynasty and also an important elite cavalry force under Cao Cao, the General of Wei.

He was to meet with the local powerful figures of Youzhou in Ji County.

However, upon arriving here, they learned that Mulan was not currently in Youzhou, but had led her people to Yanzhou, and that Youzhou was continuously transporting grain and military equipment to Yanzhou.

Then they learned about what was happening on the grasslands.

"Hmph, barbarians of the grasslands, disrespectful of civilization, truly fickle and capricious!"

Upon learning this news, Gao Jishi was extremely angry, yet also somewhat excited, and volunteered, "Prime Minister, I am willing to be the Prime Minister's vanguard!"

Why be in such a hurry?

Gao Yu shook his head, but also chuckled lightly, "The Worm King certainly knows how to pick his time."

Despite the extremely humiliating title of "King of Rouran" bestowed upon Anagui during the reign of Emperor Yuanxu, Rouran was originally a derogatory term used by Emperor Taiwu to insult the Rouran people.

However, judging from historical records...

The Rouran people, who were considered a disgrace to the grasslands, actually did have a period of prominence under the leadership of Anagui.

Gao Huan was pleased to marry the Rouran princess, and Tutujia personally went to keep an eye on her. Gao Huan even had to drag his sick body to "serve" the Rouran princess. In reality, the Rouran were powerful, and Gao Huan had to win them over.

It was only because Anagui's successor was too incompetent after his death that the Turks had the opportunity to rise to power.

Gao Yu made a special trip to inspect Yan and You provinces.

Besides appeasing the people and winning over the local powerful families, they also wanted to take a look at the grasslands.

The news from the front lines was quickly delivered to Gao Yu.

However, when Gao Yu saw the contents of the official document written by Mulan herself, his expression was very strange. Mulan mentioned Gao Yang's matter and relayed what Gao Yang had said to him.

"That brat Ah Yang, when did he get here?"

"This kid has a good eye; he's already thought of this at such a young age."

Gao Yu knew, of course, that his two nephews were very capable.

According to historical records, Gao Cheng appears to be a 'comedian' who left behind various famous scenes, but in fact, he was also quite capable.

Not to mention Gao Yang.

A heroic emperor.

Although Lou Zhaojun drove him to the brink of madness, making many of his actions seem abstract, it cannot overshadow his abilities.

The Gao family produces talented people.

Gao Bin rushed over at this time. After the Battle of Yingzhou, Gao Yu sent him to Mulan's command to serve as the chief secretary in Mulan's headquarters.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now? We hope you can give us your guidance."

After thinking for a while, Gao Yu...

"Prepare several fast horses. I will personally go to Yanzhou. You continue to collect grain and assemble troops to prepare for the enemy."

After Gao Yu made the arrangements,

He then hurriedly led his personal guards, the Xuanjia Army, to Yanzhou.

He doesn't have much energy to deal with things on the grasslands right now, but he certainly won't sit idly by and watch any force on the grasslands grow stronger.

Support the Turks.

This was also to allow the Turks and Rourans to fight each other, like two vicious dogs battling on the grassland, so that he could deal with Erzhu Rong with peace of mind.

The only way to prevent the grasslands from easily invading the border regions was to wait until the northern border was pacified before sending people to manage it, adopting a system of appeasement.

This battle.

He cannot stand idly by and watch either side win, nor can he stand idly by and watch either side lose.

It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, with the Rouran and Turks both severely weakened. This way, they would need enough time to recuperate and would not cause trouble again in the short term.

Traveling day and night.

Gao Yu arrived in Guangning County, and then continued northwest, hurrying towards Rouxuan Town.

Mulan personally oversaw operations from the rear, with her command tent set up outside Rouxuan Town.

"Greetings, Prime Minister!"

Upon learning of Gao Yu's arrival, Mulan was visibly taken aback, as Gao Yu's arrival had come even sooner than she had anticipated!

"Get up. How is the battle going?" Gao Yu asked without beating around the bush.

“Yesterday, General Hebayun sent a messenger with a message. He had made an agreement with Tumen that Tumen would lead the main force of the Turks to fight a decisive battle against the Rouran army, while General Hebayun would lead his elite cavalry to attack from the side.”

Gao Yu nodded.

"I am very pleased that you have been able to think things through so carefully and consider the overall situation."

Mulan was not fooled by Tumen's ulterior motives. Instead, she forced Tumen to lead the main force of the Turks to fight against the main force of the Rouran, which was already the maximum benefit for Gao Yu.

"Gather all the remaining elite cavalry in the army, each person carrying only one day's rations and three horses."

"Prime Minister, you stay in the army, and I will lead the elite cavalry to provide support."

"Do not."

Gao Yu shook his head. "I need to see some old friends. The grasslands can't be thrown into chaos for now."

"Then shall I go with you?"

"No, you stay here and guard the area, and be prepared to receive us. I haven't dealt with the Rouran people for over ten years, and I don't know their strength at the moment. We must proceed with caution."

Seeing Gao Yu say this.

Mulan said nothing more and instead instructed people to make preparations.

Gao Yu seized the opportunity to close his eyes and rest for a while in his tent until the army had assembled.

Gao Yu mustered his spirits and walked out of the tent.

A total of five thousand elite cavalry.

Upon learning that they would be following Gao Yu into battle, the soldiers were incredibly excited!
Gao Yu rode up to him without saying much.

"Let's go, prepare to face the enemy!"

He then continued his journey northwest on horseback, while constantly sending out scouts to investigate the situation.

After marching for several hours, the scouts ahead sent back news that they had located the Turkic camp and found it relatively empty, as their main force had been deployed.

After a moment's thought, Gao Yu immediately gave the order.

"Bypass the Turkic camp and continue marching forward!"

"Investigate further, report back!!"

"Here!"

Continue moving forward.

Gao Yu could faintly hear deafening shouts of battle coming from ahead!

Those who were out also rushed to him at this time.

"Report! Prime Minister!"

"The two armies are engaged in battle ahead, and the situation seems unfavorable to our forces..."

Upon learning this news, Gao Yu didn't waste any words and ordered, "All troops, don your armor!"

After the military order was passed down, everyone put on their armor. The Xuanjia soldiers who were closely following Gao Yu and protecting him, in the envious gazes of others, took out exquisitely crafted ghost and god masks from their pockets after putting on their armor and put them on their heads.

Gao Yu is the same!

He put on the demon mask, then raised his spear high and shouted, "My men! Follow me to meet the enemy!!"

………………

"Kill!"

Anagui swung his scimitar with all his might, and with one stroke, he cut the person in front of him off his horse!
That's right!

In order to win this battle, Anagui chose to personally lead the reinforcements from the rear to press forward!
He absolutely cannot lose this battle!

His personal arrival with reinforcements greatly boosted morale, and the tide quickly turned!

After killing the enemy in front of him, Anagui was overjoyed!
He raised his curved sword high, about to shout cheers to boost morale.

But then they heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves!

He looked in the direction of the sound!
A black line appeared on the horizon.

Upon closer inspection!
The leader was clad in black armor and wore a mask resembling a demon.

Everyone behind him was dressed like that.

His personal guards, who had followed him for a long time, were stunned when they saw this and exclaimed in disbelief.

"The peerless demon god has truly arrived??"
