The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 476 Xun Yu! Death!
Qin Shou saw it clearly and immediately shook his head.

A team of 300 people, holding various weapons, appeared under the city. The soldiers guarding the city not only did not stop them, but Yu You led his troops into Kuaiji City without notifying Xun Yu at all.

This shows how powerful the Jiangdong family is.

Yu You seemed to notice Qin Shou's expression, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. It was just now that he noticed the wrongness of this action.

With a team of 300 people, he entered and left Kuaiji City freely. The other side did not even try to stop him and allowed the team of 300 people to enter the city.

"Old sir, I believe you now know why I want to ban private soldiers! Three hundred private soldiers, led by you, can enter the city freely without even asking. Look, they can enter the city like this now." Qin Shou said with a smile.

Yu You's face flushed when he heard this. Wasn't it because of him that the other party entered the city? With three hundred elite soldiers entering Kuaiji City and tens of thousands of cavalry approaching, it was a foregone conclusion that Kuaiji City fell into the hands of the enemy.

And all this is because of myself.

In the prefect's mansion, Xun Yu was summoning his assistants, and Cao Zhi was kneeling beside him. At this moment, Xun Yu's face was full of fatigue, and there were bloodshot in his eyes.

"Scouts reported that tens of thousands of troops have sneaked into Kuaiji County. I guess it's the cavalry coming to attack us. So, I decided to close the city gates and defend Kuaiji City from today on." Xun Yu's voice contained fatigue.

"Tens of thousands of troops?"

The officials below were horrified when they heard this, and their faces turned pale. Let alone an army of tens of thousands, even a few thousand people would not be something that Kuaiji County could resist.

More importantly, the enemy is a brave cavalry army that dominates the world and is irresistible. If tens of thousands of troops come together to attack, who can resist?

"Sir, this matter is of great importance. Should we report it to Marquis Wu and ask him to send troops to rescue us?" an official said hurriedly.

"I have sent someone to report this to the lord. Please make the decision." Xun Yu glanced at everyone and said, "You were born here and have many connections. Send someone to find out where these tens of thousands of soldiers are."

Not being able to find any trace of the Cavalry Army was what worried Xun Yu the most. No one knew when these tens of thousands of troops would suddenly appear under the city and catch him off guard, which would be a huge disaster.

In the lobby, everyone looked terrified when they heard this.

Most of these county officials came from local wealthy and prominent families. They had extensive connections and were well-informed. They knew about local affairs even faster than Xun Yu.

However, these people knew even more that once the Cavalry Army entered Kuaiji, it would mean that war would break out in Kuaiji, which meant that their own interests would be affected.

These people did not have much loyalty to Cao Cao. They depended on Cao Cao's protection in the hope of gaining more benefits. However, when Cao Cao's power declined, they would think of finding other ways and seeking shelter again.

What they didn't expect was that before they could take action, the cavalry had already rushed into the county and could be at the gates of the city at any time. Everyone suddenly became a little uneasy.

Xun Yu glanced at everyone and sighed in his heart. He knew exactly what these guys were thinking, but he had no way to deal with it.

This is the true face of the aristocratic families.

"Why, you don't think that once the Cavalry enters Kuaiji, you will be spared from death! Even if you survive by chance, your family property will not be left behind. At that time, what is the difference between you and those ordinary people?"

Xun Yu looked at the expressions of the crowd, knowing what they were thinking, and sneered.

Everyone looked a little uncomfortable when they heard this. Obviously, this was what they thought. However, as officials under Cao Cao, they felt a little embarrassed when they were pointed out.

"Master Xun's words are still a bit too much."

However, at this moment, a clear voice was heard, and a young man holding two swords strode in. Behind him followed a thin-looking old man and several warriors in strong clothes. "Master Yu."

Yu You's reputation was still very famous, and when everyone saw him, they all stood up.

However, Xun Yu's gaze fell on Qin Shou, because from their positions it could be seen that Qin Shou was walking in front and his status was far higher than Yu You.

In addition, the other party's aura was full of momentum, which was unmatched by ordinary people. The identity of the person in front of him was definitely extraordinary. However, when his eyes fell on the double knives in Qin Shou's hands, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Qin Shou.

Who in the world is the only one who can wield two swords and march across the battlefield undefeated? That is the leader of the Cavalry Army, King Qin Shou of Tang.

The person in front of him is Qin Shou? Xun Yu pointed at Qin Shou, his body trembling, and he was speechless for a while.

"You, who are you?"

Finally, Xun Yu asked loudly.

"Wen Ruo is smart. Hasn't he guessed my identity?" Qin Shou looked at him with a smile when he saw this. He looked at Xun Yu's eyes and knew that the other party must have recognized him.

"You, you are Qin Shou, it's impossible, how could you enter the city?" Xun Yu took a deep breath.

"I have Mr. Yu leading me. Who dares to stop us at the city gate? Three thousand cavalry have already entered Kuaiji City." Qin Shou laughed loudly, looking very proud.

When the officials in the hall heard Qin Shou's identity and that three thousand cavalry had entered the city, they dared not resist anymore. They all turned pale and some of them were already kneeling in the hall.

Kuaiji City itself did not have many soldiers and horses, and with the entry of three thousand cavalrymen into the city, Kuaiji City was already doomed and there was no chance of reversal. Whether these people accepted or opposed it, they could not change this fact.

The only thing he could do was to surrender, and perhaps he could save his life.

"You are right. These noble families cannot keep private soldiers."

Xun Yu smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that Kuaiji City could be conquered in this way.

"Wenruo, Cao Cao's support has been broken, and defeat is only a matter of time. I wonder how Wenruo plans to deal with it next?" Qin Shou stared at Xun Yu and asked.

"I understand what the King of Qin means."

Xun Yu immediately understood what Qin Shou meant and sighed in his heart.

In Qin Shou's eyes, he was a hypocrite. He thought he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he worked for Cao Cao. He thought he was a Han Chinese, but he colluded with the Shanyue.

No matter which one it is, it is not a pity to die.

There was no way Qin Shou could save his life, and Xun Yu had no way to retreat, and he had never thought of retreating.

"Wen Ruo, please."

Qin Shou felt neither sad nor happy.
