The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 475: Kuaiji Yu Family
In the morning of that day, dozens of cavalrymen rushed into Yuyao County, Kuaiji. The magistrate of Yuyao County sent people to inquire and found out that Xun Yu ordered General Ling Tong to look for Yu You, the patriarch of the Yu family. Yu You was Yu Fan's uncle and was stationed in his hometown of Yuyao.

"I wonder what instructions Lord Xun has for me?" Yu You looked at the young man in front of him, who was very strong, and frowned immediately.

"Old Sir, I would like to ask you to take me to Kuaiji. What do you think?"

The young man stroked his short beard and looked at the other person with a smile, but even though he had a smile on his face, Yu You could sense the murderous intent in the other person's heart.

If I don't agree, I'm afraid the Yu family will be in trouble today.

He looked at the dozens of soldiers outside the house. All of them were strong and brave. Although their number was not as large as that of Yu's private soldiers, their elite level seemed to be better than that of the family's private soldiers.

If they fight each other, they will definitely not be each other's match.

"Who are you? You are definitely not General Ling Tong under the command of Marquis Wu." Yu You said coldly.

If Ling Tong came with his army, why would he need to bring him to Kuaiji? The only possibility was that the other party was the general of the Cavalry Army. Thinking of this, his heart sank to the bottom.

As the rear base of Jiangdong, elite enemies unexpectedly appeared in Kuaiji, and they even went straight into their own home. The Yu family was immediately in trouble.

He knew how powerful the Cavalry Army was, and he was a staunch supporter of the Marquis of Wu. According to the rules of the Cavalry Army, their property would be confiscated and their entire clan would be exterminated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly curse Yu Fan in his heart, saying that they were a bunch of incompetent people. They actually let the cavalry army charge into Jiangdong and go straight into the heart of Jiangdong. Otherwise, what is happening now would not have happened.

Although Yu You was frightened in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He knew that if he showed any fear at this moment, the other party would be even more unscrupulous. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since you are not General Ling Tong, who are you? Why did you pretend to be a general under the command of Marquis Wu and break into my Yu family's mansion?"

"Old sir, why do you ask when you already know the answer? Cao Cao is already in decline and will never rise again. Now my cavalry has entered Jiangdong, and the world will be mine." The young man smiled and said, "I cannot bear to see the people of Jiangdong being slaughtered, so I have come to ask you to take me to see Xun Yu and seize Kuaiji as soon as possible."

"You, you are the Tang King?"

After hearing this, Yu You's expression changed. He guessed that the other party must be from the Cavalry Army, but he never expected that the other party was actually King Qin Shou of Tang, and came to Kuaiji to see him in person.

"That's right. I know that the Yu family has 500 private soldiers. Yu Fan took 200 with him, and you still have 300, which is just right." Qin Shou chuckled and said, "I believe the old gentleman will agree."

After hearing this, Yu You showed a bitter smile on his face. He looked at the sword on Qin Shou's waist and the other party's half-smile, and immediately knew that he must obey his orders today, otherwise he would definitely die today.

"I wonder how the king plans to deal with my Yu family?" Yu You asked bravely.

Why did the Jiangdong noble families oppose Qin Shou and fight desperately? It was because of the policies of the Cavalry Army that made these noble families join forces to deal with the Cavalry Army.

Now that Qin Shou had come to his door, Yu You bravely asked.

Qin Shou looked at the other person with a smile, and he was indeed a guy who valued money more than his life.

"Of course, we will follow the Central Plains rules. Could it be that you have other ideas?" Qin Shou said, "However, if you can trick the city gate of Kuaiji into opening, it will be a meritorious service. I always give generous rewards to those who have made meritorious services."

Yu You's face showed a complicated expression after hearing this. This was not the result he expected. Yu You's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He knew that although Qin Shou's words were understated, the threat behind them was like a sword hanging over his head.

If he refused, the Yu family would probably be exterminated today; if he agreed, the Yu family would become traitors of Jiangdong and bear eternal infamy.

You must know that the Jiangdong families are now united in supporting Cao Cao, providing him with food, people and money. But now he is taking Qin Shou with him to falsely open the gate of Kuaiji City and accelerate Cao Cao's demise.

This was a betrayal for the Jiangdong family.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Shou: "Your Majesty, although I am the head of the Yu clan, there is Xun Yu in Kuaiji City. He is smart and clever. Even if I am willing to cooperate, I am afraid it will not be easy to trick the city gate open."

Qin Shou heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Old sir, there is no need to be too modest. The Yu family is deeply rooted in Kuaiji and has an outstanding reputation. As long as you are willing, the city gate is just a piece of cake."

Yu You's heart tightened, knowing that Qin Shou had already known the details of the Yu family. He pondered for a moment, finally sighed, and said: "Since the king has said this, I dare not refuse. However, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh?" Qin Shou raised his eyebrows, as if he was not surprised by Yu You's compromise. "Please speak, old sir."

Yu You took a deep breath and said slowly: "The Yu family has lived in Jiangdong for generations, and there are many people in the family. I beg the king to treat my Yu family well after the matter is accomplished, and not to hurt the innocent."

Qin Shou laughed loudly when he heard this: "Old sir, you worry too much. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. As long as the Yu family helps me take over Kuaiji, I will not only not make things difficult for the Yu family, but will also reward them generously. As for the other Jiangdong families, I will also deal with them as appropriate and will never kill innocent people."

Yu You nodded, but his heart was still heavy. He knew that although Qin Shou's words sounded good, no one could predict what would happen after the matter was accomplished. But the current situation was pressing, and he had no way to retreat.

"In that case, I am willing to serve the king." Yu You slowly stood up and bowed to Qin Shou.

Qin Shou nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The old gentleman really knows how to deal with current affairs. In this case, we should set off immediately without further delay."

Yu You said nothing more, and turned around to tell the servants to prepare the horses. He knew that from this moment on, the fate of the Yu family was tied to Qin Shou. No matter what the outcome, the Yu family would play an important role in this chaotic world.

A moment later, Yu You and Qin Shou rode out of Yu Mansion together, followed by dozens of elite cavalrymen. Yu You looked at the familiar streets with mixed feelings. He knew that after today, Kuaiji City would usher in a huge change.

When he arrived outside the city, he found that three hundred elite warriors had already gathered. When they saw Qin Shou coming, they hurried forward.

He felt relieved. If he had not agreed, today would probably be the day Yu would die.

The group soon arrived at the foot of Kuaiji City. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Yu You coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Yu, why are you here?"

Yu You forced a smile and said, "I have something important to do and need to go into the city to see Lord Xun. Please open the city gate quickly."

The soldiers guarding the city did not suspect anything and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.
