My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 222 Three Thousand Warriors Battle Ge Rong!
Inside the entire Taiji Hall.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Erzhu Zhongyuan, Erzhu Tianguang, and the others glared angrily, wishing they could drag Yuan Chen to the Yellow River right now and let him experience it properly.

However, Erzhu Rong remained silent, and they dared not take any further action.

"Insolence! All of you, get out of here!"

Erzhu Rong roared angrily, then shouted, "Guards! Drag General Wuwei away and give him thirty strokes of the cane!"

Immediately, imperial guards entered the Taiji Hall.

Erzhu Zhao also stood firm, "You don't need to escort me, I can walk by myself!"

He glared angrily at Yuan Chen, then left the Taiji Hall with his head held high.

At this moment, Yuan Ziyou spoke up, “Wait a minute. The Taiji Hall is full of loyal, virtuous and good ministers of the Great Wei. The Minister of Justice’s words are reasonable, and it is understandable that the General of the Martial Guard acted rashly. Why should the Prime Minister be so harsh? A few words of reprimand will suffice.”

He smiled and acted as a peacemaker, saying, "Relocating the capital is a major matter that certainly requires careful consideration. However, bandits will arrive outside Luoyang in just a few days."

"If the bandits manage to fight their way to the outskirts of Luoyang, it will likely unsettle the people and bring shame upon the Great Wei. The most urgent task is to discuss a strategy to repel the enemy. As for the matter of relocating the capital, we can discuss it later."

Erzhu Rong is currently in a rather awkward position.

The main reason was that Yuan Chen publicly confronted him, saying he was ambitious and had a heart that deserved to be punished, and he had no way to refute it.

It's easy to kill someone to vent one's anger.

But if he were to kill Yuan Chen as well, then the stereotype of him as a bloodthirsty, murderous maniac would be truly impossible to erase.

Even more serious.

Even though he controlled Yuan Ziyou, the nominal emperor of Wei, and held the reins of justice.

The powerful families could also find another member of the Yuan clan and elect a new emperor.

Just as Gao Huan was about to speak, he noticed that Gao Yu had already stepped out of the line and bowed in greeting.

"Your Majesty! Prime Minister! This humble general dares to speak!"

Erzhu Rong glanced at Gao Yu and also noticed Gao Huan's movements. He couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking how considerate the Gao brothers were.

Yuan Ziyou was overjoyed when he saw that it was Gao Yu.

"Does the Right Guard General have a plan to repel the enemy? Please tell me."

Gao Yu spoke up.

"Since I followed the Prime Minister in leading the righteous army south, I have not made any contributions along the way, yet I have received the great favor of His Majesty and the Prime Minister. I am truly humbled!"

"At present, bandits have come to harass us. I request Your Majesty and the Prime Minister to allow me to lead my three thousand elite troops north to quell the rebellion."

"To relieve His Majesty and the Prime Minister's urgent crisis, and to crush the morale of the bandits with a great victory!"

Yuan Ziyou was slightly worried, "The bandits are numerous and powerful, isn't three thousand a bit too few?"

Gao Yu shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the key to an army lies in its quality, not its quantity."

"This time, I am certain of victory, and the bandits will surely be defeated!"

"Oh? Why do you say that, Right Guard General?"

Gao Yu began to give him a serious analysis, "Your Majesty! Please hear me out."

"The bandits are indeed powerful, but an arrogant army is bound to be defeated. Our army has been repeatedly defeated by the bandits before. Facing the imperial army, the bandits will become arrogant and will surely underestimate us. I will then take them by surprise!"

"Furthermore, Xiangzhou has not been lost. The bandits have taken a detour to come here. In order to prevent their retreat from being cut off, they must have sent a large number of troops to guard the retreat route. Therefore, the number of bandits coming to plunder Sizhou will not be too many!"

Sikong Mushao said, "If what the Right Guard General said is true, then the enemy will retreat in a few days, and we will not need to send troops."

"You are mistaken, Sikong!"

Gao Yu shook his head and retorted, "The previous incident in Heyin caused turmoil in the court and among the people, and the people around Luoyang were unsettled. Right now, we urgently need a great victory to appease the people. We must not allow the bandits to plunder all the way to the vicinity of Luoyang. If that happens, then the rumors among the fleeing people will spread that Luoyang has been captured by the bandits, which will only make the people in other places unsettled as well."

"At present, Luoyang needs His Majesty and the Prime Minister to be in charge in order to appease the people."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yuan Ziyou's eyes.

Whenever Gao Yu opens his mouth, he always mentions "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister," which is actually a way of expressing his attitude.

However, he didn't expect to win Gao Yu's heart in such a short time.

All we need to do is keep sowing discord between Gao Yu and Erzhu Rong.

Erzhu Rong's complexion also improved considerably.

He originally intended to 'ignore' Gao Yu for a while, but because of Yuan Ziyou, that's no longer possible.

Rather than letting Yuan Ziyou give Gao Yu an important position, it would be better to give him an important position yourself!

Erzhu Rong immediately chimed in agreement.

"Your Majesty! When the Right Guard General was young, he defeated tens of thousands of Gao Che troops with only a few dozen cavalry. These mere bandits are indeed easily wiped out by the Right Guard General!"

"Your Majesty, I also believe that the Right Guard General's words are reasonable. Luoyang cannot do without Your Majesty at this moment, and Your Majesty needs to personally oversee the situation and appease the people!"

"How about we send the Right Guard General to lead his elite troops north to quell the rebellion?"

"But... wouldn't three thousand be a bit too few? How about we transfer another five thousand combat-ready soldiers from the central army to the Right Guard General?"

Gao Yu quickly refused, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because we have fewer people that the bandits will underestimate us. If a large army goes, the bandits will surely flee at the mere sight of us, and we will be unable to effectively annihilate them."

Yuan Ziyou nodded.

“I am not knowledgeable in military affairs, but the Right Guard General once defeated the Gaoche, so he is probably right. So let it be as the Right Guard General says.”

"I hereby order you to lead your elite troops north to quell the rebellion. You must strike the bandits hard and demonstrate the might of our Great Wei! Sweep away the gloom of our previous unsuccessful attempts to quell the rebellion!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This subordinate will go and prepare immediately!"

at this time.

Gao Huan also came out.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this humble general also requests to accompany the Right Guard General into battle!"

Yuan Ziyou waved his hand and said, "Granted!"

Gao Yu and Gao Huan immediately turned and left the Taiji Hall to take stock of their troops.

Gao Huan actually didn't have many soldiers left.

When he defected from Du Luozhou, the Shesheng Army had already suffered heavy casualties.

The main force consisted of the three thousand elite troops under Gao Yu's command.

Back inside the mansion.

Gao Yu summoned Liu Taozhi and the others.

"Go and find Mulan, Peng Le, and others to send orders to gather their troops. Each person should carry fifteen days' worth of rations and five horses, and follow me northward at once to quell the rebels!"

"Here!"

Liu Taozhi and the others immediately went to relay the order.

Gao Yu had originally planned to take Yuan Miao to visit Zheng Dache at the Prince of Guangping's residence today.

But the situation has changed.

He told Yuan Miao to go and pay the visit himself, and then gave him a brief explanation.

Gao Yu then rode his horse to the training ground outside the city.

The Xuanjia Army and the Capture the Living Army are ready.

The soldiers were all extremely excited and their emotions were running high!

It should be noted that since joining Erzhu Rong's forces with Gao Yu, he has only been deployed once, during the suppression of Qifu Mozhen's rebellion.

They haven't been on the battlefield for a long time.

at the moment!

Finally, I have another opportunity to make a name for myself!

How could I not be excited?
