My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 486 The Two Caos Return to Their Hearts
Whether he was a general or a cavalry commander.

For Gao Yu, the more the better; he is not picky.

However, Lu Cao looks like he has a 'pointed head', so he can probably only be a cavalry general like Gao Ang, and he would have to serve under my command.

Others might not be able to convince him.

Too arrogant, and overconfident in his own bravery.

"Very well. If he is as brave as Gao Aocao, then we can have the two of them lead the elite troops in battle in my place in the future."

Gao Yu observed both sides with great interest.

Gao Yang then moved closer to him and said, "This man is so arrogant, he must really have some ability. Do you think Uncle has a chance of winning?"

In terms of seniority, Gao Ang is Gao Yu's cousin, and naturally, Gao Yang's great-uncle.

There aren’t many people in this world who can surpass Ao Cao in bravery.

Gao Yu chuckled lightly, "I suppose the two of you are evenly matched."

Lu Cao is not mentioned much in historical records, and is even somewhat mythical. Gao Yu himself didn't really know the extent of Lu Cao's bravery.

Conversation room.

Gao Ang and Lu Cao had already walked up to each other. Gao Ang carefully examined the other person but did not rush to make a move.

After all, in terms of size alone, Lu Cao is even slightly larger than Gao Ang. Even if he is just an empty shell, such a size would make him extremely difficult to deal with.

The two exchanged glances for a long time, also adjusting their breathing.

Lu Cao was quite arrogant and snorted coldly, "If you won't attack me, then I will attack you."

He roared, his voice booming like a bell, and with his right foot pushing off the ground for leverage, he spread his arms and charged towards Gao Ang like a tiger descending a mountain, the sound of air being torn apart faintly audible.

"Well done!"

Gao Yang stabilized his lower body, his feet seemingly rooted to the ground, and he also opened his arms, taking a deep breath to solidify his posture.

With a muffled thud, the two collided.

Both of them swayed slightly, but they both chose to grab each other's waistbands with their hands.

Lu Cao's eyes held a hint of appreciation. "You do have some strength; you were able to withstand my impact."

"You're not bad either, but you can't beat me with just that kind of strength!"

Gao Feng also praised him, then shouted, "Ah!!"

The two men's lower bodies were intertwined. Gao Yang tried to exert force, his neck veins bulging, his face contorted, and he used his waist and abdomen to try to throw the other man away.

Lu Cao did the same, trying to exert force to throw him away.

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

What appeared to be a simple contest of strength left the onlookers astonished by the sheer power of the two men.

One very important indicator for judging whether a person is brave is their strength.

Only those with great strength can wear heavy armor, wield a lance, and become a deadly weapon on the battlefield.

No matter how good your skills are, or how skillfully you wield the lance, it's all for naught if you don't have enough strength to build a solid foundation.

On the battlefield, one must be clad in heavy armor to transform into a humanoid Gundam.

Gao Yang was also shocked and clicked his tongue. He turned to look at Gao Yu, only to see Gao Yu looking calm and collected. "If it were Uncle, he would definitely be able to defeat the two of them. Otherwise, why would Uncle listen to Uncle so obediently? Uncle doesn't treat others well, not even my father..."

Gao Yang remembered it very clearly.

Gao Huan's forces were mainly composed of Xianbei people, and they mostly spoke in Xianbei language. However, whenever Gao Ang was present, Gao Huan would obediently speak the Central Plains Han language.

Isn't it because Gao Huan can't completely win Gao Ang's heart that he can only resort to this method to please Gao Ang? The struggle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage, and both of their breathing has become unstable, and their bodies are somewhat out of control.

Seeing this, Gao Yu stepped forward, just like Liu Bei in the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and grabbed one of the people's wrists with one hand, with a smile on his face.

"You two are evenly matched, both exceptionally brave and with few rivals in the world. For now, let's stop here and not ruin our harmony."

He then used force to forcibly separate their hands.

Gao Ang was used to it. He had initially thought Gao Yu was all show and no substance based on his first impression. However, when he competed with Peng Le, Gao Yu taught him a lesson.

Lu Cao looked at Gao Yu with a look of astonishment. He did not expect that Gao Yu, who looked like a 'male concubine' kept by a noble lady and was so weak, would have such strength.

Gao Ang deliberately released his strength, took a step back, and praised, "Few can match me. No wonder you have a reputation for bravery in Yan and You. It seems that you truly live up to your reputation."

Lu Cao didn't mince words, "That's for sure. Your strength is not bad. No wonder everyone in Ji Province says you are exceptionally brave and have the courage of an ancient overlord."

Gao Ang shook his head. “In terms of bravery, I am no match for the Prime Minister. Before meeting the Prime Minister, I thought I was as brave as Xiang Yu. But after meeting the Prime Minister, I realized that I was just a frog in a well looking at the moon. In front of the Prime Minister, those who claim to be brave are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree. How can the light of a firefly compete with the bright moon?”

Gao Yu chuckled lightly, "Ao Cao, you flatter me."

He then looked at Lu Cao and said, "Ao Cao is the bravest among my men, yet you are on par with him, which is quite remarkable. I wonder if you would be willing to follow me and serve under me."

Lu Hui, standing behind him, suddenly gave him a meaningful look.

The Lu clan of Fanyang had been established in Youzhou for hundreds of years. When Emperor Xiaowen established surnames and clans, they were even designated as one of the four major surnames of the Han people. Although they seemed illustrious, they had not produced any high-ranking officials in the central government for a long time.

If Lu Cao can follow Gao Yu with bravery and make great contributions, the Lu family of Fanyang will benefit from it in the future.

Lu Cao looked at the pointed head.

He suddenly bowed and said, "I am willing to follow the General!"

Gao Yu chuckled, "Won't you have a match with me?"

Lu Cao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "For Ao Cao to be so convinced and praise him so highly, the Prime Minister must be exceptionally brave and martial. Why should I humiliate myself?"

He is straightforward and a bit arrogant, but that doesn't mean he's really stupid.

Gao Yu's reputation for bravery had already spread throughout the Northern Territory.

Although my first impression of Gao Yu was that he was weak and frail, after seeing how respectful Gao Ang, who was so similar to me, was to Gao Yu, I knew perfectly well why.

He didn't think Gao Gao would fawn over Gao Yu just because Gao Yu held the position of prime minister.

"Very well, from now on you will serve under me."

Gao Yu quickly helped him up and shouted, "Someone, bring some wine! I want to have a good drink with him!"

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, on recruiting another valiant warrior!"

"It's very gratifying, it's very gratifying."

Everyone chimed in with envy, looking at Lu Hui with obvious admiration. They might not even have the ability to connect them with Gao Yu.

There are no capable people in the clan. If they want to be valued by Gao Yu, they must have some ability.

Since there is no one as brave as Lu Cao in their clan.

Then we can only take shortcuts and unconventional approaches.

Give it to a woman, of course.

Yan and You were territories that Gao Yu had only recently conquered.

The best way to appease people's hearts is through marriage.

But none of Gao Yu's children have reached the required age, while he himself is in his prime...
