My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 484 A fierce general even more ferocious than Gao Aocao?
It was clearly a brutal battle.

In the end, the matter was resolved amicably by both sides collecting the deceased's body, neither daring to be disobedient.

Not far away, the army led by Mulan was not letting their guard down. Everyone was wearing armor and holding sharp blades, supervising them. They also assigned special personnel to guard all the armor and weapons that Mulan had thrown away.

Without armor and weapons, a tiger is like a tiger without claws and teeth; no matter how valiant it may be, it's just a showpiece.

The Rouran were indeed the weakest rulers of the grasslands throughout history.

"Great Khan..."

Tutujia came to Anagui's side, looking at Anagui's distraught appearance, and hesitated to speak.

He tried to dissuade Anagui.

Anagui had not dealt with Gao Yu for too long, and in recent years, with his high position and the people around him praising him, he had lost sight of the situation.

Tu Tujia had previously been based in Hebei.

"A single wrong thought destroyed more than a decade of my hard work."

Anagui closed his eyes in pain.

He believed he had chosen the right moment. The standoff between Gao Yu and Erzhu Rong had entered a new phase. Gao Yu, who had swallowed up too much territory, needed to spend a lot of energy managing these territories, and it was almost impossible for him to free up time to deal with matters on the grasslands in the short term.

But he never expected this.

Gao Yu didn't need to lead a large army; a single charge was enough to terrify their brave soldiers!

Ultimately, they underestimated the reputation of the 'Peerless Demon God'.

at the moment……

All the armor and weapons he had secretly accumulated over the years were taken away.

The prestige he had painstakingly built up completely collapsed.

Despite the lack of casualties, how many people will still obey his orders as the 'Khan' after he returns?

How much time will it take him to win over the hearts of the various tribes and unite them all into one?
He is nearly forty years old and will soon be very old.

Gao Yu, however, was young and vigorous, in the prime of his life.

With a heavy sigh, Anagui kicked a pebble on the ground in frustration, "I regret not listening to you back then."

………………

Gao Yu never intended to do anything to Anagui.

He didn't have much energy to deal with things on the grasslands, and he didn't want a powerful overlord to emerge on the grasslands while the Central Plains were in turmoil.

The current situation is the best possible one.

They seized a large amount of armor and weapons from the Rouran people and severely damaged Anagui's personal prestige, causing him great harm, but not to the point of immediate collapse, and were still able to restrain the Turks' development momentum.

A good worrisome king is one who is dead but not completely dead, one who is still clinging to life. Only such a king is a proper watchdog of the grasslands.

"Earth Gate, Room Points are dense."

Gao Yu's tone was neither cold nor indifferent. Gao Yang, who was standing next to him, handed him a leather pouch, and Gao Yu gulped down a few mouthfuls of mare's milk wine.

"Prime Minister."

"This pasture did not originally belong to the Turkic tribe, yet you seized it without authorization. Is it because the government has been too lenient with the Turkic tribe over the years, allowing them to become arrogant and complacent?"

"Don't dare..."

Tumen and Shidianmi immediately knelt down, saying, "It was our recklessness; we beg the Prime Minister's forgiveness."

"Considering your previous merits, you will not be severely punished this time. However, you may be spared the death penalty, but you will not be spared any punishment. I hereby order you to prepare five thousand fine warhorses and three thousand cattle and sheep to be delivered to the General Who Conquers the North. I will also recruit two thousand brave warriors from your clan to accompany me south."

Tumen was heartbroken.

Gao Yu seemed to know everything about the wealth the Turks had accumulated over the years.

The required number of warhorses, cattle, and sheep was just right for a Turkic tribe to handle, severely damaging their strength but not to the point of complete collapse.

This battle resulted in huge losses, and Gao Yu still had to take away so many warhorses, cattle, sheep, and able-bodied men.

The Turkic tribe, severely weakened, will find it difficult to recover in a short time, let alone grow strong enough to become the new overlord of the grasslands.

Whether it was the Rouran or the Turks, this battle resulted in mutual destruction.

Gao Yu wanted the grasslands to maintain their current state, without any single power dominating, so that he could focus on dealing with Erzhu Rong.

After the two left.

Gao Yang couldn't help but sigh, "I had heard before that my uncle was known as an 'unparalleled god' on the grasslands, but seeing him today, I can truly understand what it means to regard someone as a deity."

"You brat, who let you sneak off to the grasslands?"

Gao Yu kicked him in the butt and then looked him over carefully. The battlefield is indeed the best place to temper a person.

Previously, Gao Yang did not inherit his parents' excellent DNA. Although he was young, he was not 'young' at all. Now he is becoming more and more mature, but he appears very composed.

"I just wanted to help my uncle with his troubles."

Gao Yang felt quite aggrieved.

Gao Yu smiled and shook his head, then patted his shoulder heavily. "General Heba and General Mulan have both told me, Ayang, you have done a great job. You are young but have the demeanor of a great general. With more training, you will definitely become a general who can lead an army in the future."

Gao Yang's grievances vanished instantly, his smile widening, his face beaming with undisguised joy. "Is Uncle's statement true?"

"That's natural."

"Hahaha, my lifelong ambition is to ride into battle for my uncle and quell the invading enemy!"

"You get all high and mighty just because I praised you a couple of times?"

Gao Yu laughed and cursed, "Get lost, go and invite General Heba and General Mulan here for me."

Gao Yang, however, smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Yes! I will obey the Prime Minister's decree!"

…………

The army set off in a grand procession.

They returned in a grand procession, bringing with them a large number of cattle, sheep, and warhorses.

Gao Yu also deeply understood the essence of Emperor Taiwu of Wei. When in doubt, he would go north to hunt some wild monsters. The high-quality wild monsters in the grassland area, the Rouran people, would drop valuable resources such as cattle, sheep and horses.

"Ajuni, after I leave, you must frequently send people out to gather information on the grasslands, and strictly order each tribe to graze their livestock within the designated pastures. If there are any disputes, you must follow one principle: help the weak and suppress the strong."

Gao Yang was completely bewildered. "Uncle, wouldn't this kind of action cause dissatisfaction?"

Gao Yu chuckled and said, “The people of the grasslands are fickle and fear power but do not appreciate virtue. We cannot try to educate them with the way of the sages. We must use force to make them submit. We cannot allow any one tribe to become too powerful. Only in this way can we control them.”

Gao Yang nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Then I will stay and serve in General Heba's camp, guarding the frontier for my uncle."

Gao Yu shook his head and said, "This time you have to come south with me."

"Why?"

“Ah Hui, Ah Ying is getting married this year, how can you be absent? I will also find a suitable woman for you to marry.”

"Uncle, what does my brother's marriage have to do with me?"

"Alright, it's settled then. Don't even think about sneaking away. I'll have people watching you."

Gao Yang looked aggrieved, but he could only nod in agreement.

April 20th.

Gao Yu led Gao Yang and the others back to Yanzhou, and this time his destination was Fanyang County.

Before heading south, he had already sent Liu Yi to deliver the imperial edict, ordering the powerful families in Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Anzhou and other places who were willing to submit to him to send people to meet him.

The Lu family of Fanyang had already sent people to express their loyalty, which is why Gao Yu came to Fanyang.

but……

Outside Fanyang City.

Gao Yu, however, saw two familiar figures.

Peng Le and Gao Ang were also there.

"Zixing, Ao Cao, what brings you two here?"

Peng Le replied, "When the Minister of State learned of the fighting on the grasslands, he ordered me to lead troops to provide support."

Gao Yu nodded. "The matter on the grasslands has been quelled, so there's no need to worry. You two lead your troops back to Ye City with me."

Gao Feng said in a deep, resonant voice, "I have heard that Lu Cao of the Lu family of Fanyang will come to pay his respects to the Prime Minister. This man is known for his bravery and martial prowess. I have never had the opportunity to meet him before. This time, I must see for myself just how brave he is."

really……

It was only natural for Gao Huan to send Peng Le with troops to support him.

It's not certain that Gao Yuan will come.

Because Gao Huan simply couldn't command Gao Yang.

There is probably only one reason why Gao Ang came here on his own initiative.

With his high opinion of himself, whenever he heard of someone renowned for their bravery, he would want to have a good match with that person.
