My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 241 What's there to fear in numbers? Let's get closer!
Gao Ang was invincible in the village since he was a child.

Even when Ge Rong's army, which had caused the court numerous headaches and suffered repeated defeats, came, Gao Ang could easily defeat it.

They certainly have the capital to expand.

Gao Qian smiled and shook his head, then joked, "I do know one person who might be even more valiant than Ao Cao."

"who?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ang became interested, but then subconsciously shook his head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Brother must be bluffing me!"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Gao Qian smiled and said, "Although I have never met him, I have heard his name from His Majesty and the late Emperor many times."

"Who is that?"

"Huai Shuo High School Grade 2!"

"Huai Shuo... a second-year high school student? Also surnamed Gao?"

"Correct."

Gao Qian nodded and said, "This man's ancestors also came from my Bohai Gao clan, but he was convicted and exiled to Huai Shuo."

"This young man protected the Princess of Guangping, single-handedly repelling hundreds of soldiers in the central army. Later, when escorting the Rouran King back to the Rouran court, he led dozens of armored cavalry to decisively defeat the army of hundreds of thousands of Gaoche people."

"Just recently, this man marched more than 200 li in one night and launched a surprise attack on Ge Rong's army, annihilating and capturing more than 20,000 people."

"really?"

Upon hearing about this impressive record, Gao Ang became quite interested. He shook his neck, his hands itching to learn from the man.

"Indeed, this man is called Gao Yu, and he is currently serving as the Right Guard General in Luoyang. His Majesty values ​​him highly."

"Once the bandits are quelled, I will definitely go to Luoyang and have a showdown with them."

Gao Qian was somewhat helpless. His third brother was good in every way, except that he was too straightforward and believed in the idea that "might makes right." It was difficult for ordinary people to gain his approval, and he easily offended people.

Such a person is not suited to be an official. Under the rules of the officialdom, just the fact that he is prone to offending people means he will be outmaneuvered and killed by seasoned veterans countless times.

Fortunately, we are in a chaotic world, and pure warriors are more likely to be valued in such times. If they can find a wise ruler, they may well be able to establish a great career.

In Gao Qian's eyes, Yuan Ziyou was a wise ruler.

"I have come to you today because I want you to lead troops to Luoyang to protect His Majesty."

"Should I lead the troops?"

Gao Ang was taken aback. "What about Father and Brother?"

"Don't underestimate us. The imperial court has already sent a large army to Shandong to punish Xing Gao. Ge Rong must be wary of him. Moreover, the prime minister is eyeing him covetously. Ge Rong will not dare to launch a major attack on Shandong."

"How many soldiers can you give me?"

"I have already discussed it with my father and will assign five hundred elite troops to you. You must hurry to Luoyang. At present, Luoyang is undefended. If the news gets out, there may be changes. We must not delay any longer."

"Alright, Father and Brother, please don't let me be captured by bandits as soon as I leave. Otherwise, if the bandit leader uses this to coerce me, I will be unable to fulfill both my loyalty to the country and my filial piety."

Gao Qian was so angry he laughed.

Can't we hope for something good about them?
He could only repeatedly remind them, "Luoyang is not like home. Remember not to speak so bluntly. If you really don't know what to say, it's better to keep quiet than to speak lightly."

Gao Feng muttered nonchalantly, "So what if I offend them? They can't beat me anyway."

"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

Gao Qian sighed. He was a little tired. The best outcome would be for him or his second brother, Gao Shen, to go together.

However, given the current chaotic situation, Yuan Ziyou needs military assistance. They must stay here to help Gao Yi continue to resist the bandits. The main issue is that they cannot send too many people to Luoyang at once, as it would easily arouse Erzhu Rong's suspicion.

Thinking of this, he took out a letter from his pocket. "After arriving in Luoyang, give this letter to His Majesty and be respectful to him."

"understood."

Gao Ang tucked the letter into his pocket and went to make preparations.

Gao Yi and the others stood on the city gate and watched him leave. Gao Yi was still a little worried. "Qian Yong, I'm still a little uneasy about letting Ao Cao go to Luoyang alone."

"Father need not worry. His Majesty is a wise and tolerant ruler. He will not hold Ao Cao's words against him."

“I’m worried that he might be taken advantage of by others.”

"There is no need to worry. I have already advised His Majesty in my letter that as soon as Ao Cao arrives in Luoyang, he should be assigned to the Right Guard General's command. The Right Guard General is an unparalleled brave and magnanimous man. I have also instructed Ao Cao to go and recognize the Right Guard General as a relative after arriving in Luoyang."

"The world is in chaos. Our ancestors were of the same lineage, so we should work together and help each other."

………………

June 12th.

Gao Ang led his soldiers on a non-stop journey, and soon crossed Qizhou and Jizhou into the territory of Xiangzhou.

He rode on his horse, leading his soldiers on a continued march. Some soldiers returned to their units to rest, while others immediately took over and went out to scout!
There are a large number of Ge Rong's soldiers in Xiangzhou, so we must do our intelligence work in advance.

The sound of horses' hooves rang out ahead, and someone was galloping up at full speed, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Report!"

"My lord, there are bandits besieging a fortified village twenty miles ahead."

"really?"

Gao Ang immediately perked up and hurriedly ordered, "All soldiers, don your armor and prepare to charge into the enemy lines with me!!"

His personal guard, Zhang Mao, quickly advised him, “My lord, we do not know the details of the enemy. We have not yet found out whether there are reinforcements on the outskirts or how many enemy soldiers there are. We must not act rashly!” “Before we left, my eldest brother repeatedly instructed us that we must go to Luoyang immediately and not delay on the way.”

Gao Feng frowned, angrily retorting, "Ge Rong's men are nothing but traitors, why should we fear them? Issue my order! Move forward!"

Zhang Mao opened his mouth, but in the end he could only give up. He knew his young master's temper very well, and even if the head of the family and the eldest son came, they probably wouldn't be able to persuade him.

Ang Gao led his troops forward. When a scout brought news that they were only three miles away from the enemy, he ordered all his men to put on their armor. He himself also put on thick heavy armor and then urged his horse to continue carrying them forward.

Once they could see the enemy's army formation in the distance, he left a few men to guard the horses while the rest of them changed into their own.

"Soldiers! Follow me and kill the enemy!"

Gao Ang led the charge, charging ahead at the forefront. Upon approaching the enemy lines, a rough look revealed at least five thousand men. Facing an enemy several times his size, Gao Ang showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Kill!!"

Rumble!
Even with only five hundred men, the commotion created by five hundred cavalrymen was deafening.

The main problem was the galloping hooves, which kicked up clouds of dust, making it difficult to tell how many people were rushing over.

"Prepare for the enemy! Prepare for the enemy!!"

The soldiers under Ge Rong's command were indeed highly skilled in military matters.

As the leader shouted, his army did not panic; instead, they immediately prepared to meet the enemy.

In the chaos, it was difficult to make thorough preparations, but some still drew their bows and fired volleys of arrows, though the stray arrows were unlikely to cause any real harm to those wearing armor.

Gao Ang was the first to charge towards the enemy!

"Kill!!"

He gripped the lance tightly in his hand, and the sharp spearhead, carrying the immense momentum of the warhorse's long charge, pierced through several people in front of him in one fell swoop!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the surrounding bandits!
With a loud shout, Gao Feng gripped the horse spear with both hands and, with a sudden burst of strength, lifted the spear, which was already strung up like a candied hawthorn, with the corpses of three soldiers still attached to it.

"Ahhh!"

With a sudden, powerful swing, Gao Ang threw the corpse away, drew his lance, and with a sweeping motion, deflected several weapons coming at him. Then, with another powerful sweeping motion, he sent several people flying.

So brave!

The soldiers around him were terrified.

"Hahahaha! A bunch of good-for-nothing idiots, follow me and kill them!"

He spurred his horse forward again, thrusting his lance left and right, knocking down several more enemy cavalrymen.

His 500 elite soldiers were like a sharp knife piercing directly into the enemy's formation, leaving the enemy with no ability to resist!
As more and more people died, and even as blood splattered onto them, the strong smell of blood stimulated their nasal passages, making them even more aroused.

He swept his lance across the ground once more, sending everyone flying. Then, he stood proudly on his horse and roared angrily, his voice booming like thunder.

"The one who killed you all is Gao Ao Cao of Bohai!!"

The bandits who were further away couldn't hear very clearly, but they did hear the word 'Gao'.

Those who originally came from the Six Towns seemed to be triggered, throwing down their weapons and turning to run away.

Gao Ang saw it from afar and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, thinking that the bandits were intimidated by his reputation.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"The peerless demon god has arrived!"

"Run! The Eternal Heaven has sent its peerless demon god!"

"........."

Eternal Heaven?
Unrivaled Demon God?

Enraged, Gao Ang immediately spurred his horse, grabbed a bandit who was fleeing with his back turned, held him in front of his horse, and lashed him with his whip.

"I am a proud Han Chinese man, how could I possibly be associated with the Eternal Heaven of the grassland people?"

"General... General, spare my life!"

The captured soldiers were terrified and kept begging for mercy.

Gao Ang pressed, "Who is the Peerless Ghost God?"

"General, General, aren't you an unparalleled god of war?"

"I ask you, who is the peerless ghost god!"

"He is Huai Shuo Gaolang... The people of the grasslands admire his bravery immensely and respectfully call him the peerless god."

"what!!!"

Enraged, Gao Feng grabbed the man's collar with his left hand and, with a sudden burst of strength, threw him into the air with one hand. Then, he swung his lance and thrust it upwards!

"How dare you thieves deceive me! I am Gao Ao Cao of Bohai! Not some peerless demon god!"

After a cathartic roar, he flung the corpse off the lance.

Gao Feng looked towards the direction of Luoyang.

"Huai Shuo High School Grade 2?"

"I hope you won't disappoint me. I'm going to Luoyang right now to meet you! To see if you're really as brave and fierce as the rumors say!"
