Chapter 8 The first step in the fight for hegemony, seizing military power

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

Soon, Lin Yu led his tribe to the governor's office in Kuaiji.

Two guards at the door came forward and asked, "Who is here? What is the matter?"

Lin Yu said in a deep voice: "We are the Xiang clan of Western Chu. If you have anything important to do, please inform the county governor!"

The guard nodded and said, "In that case, wait until I make the announcement."

After saying that, he turned around and went in to report.

After a while, Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, sent an order to let them in.

Lin Yu and the others quickly walked into the government office.

When I walked in, I saw County Sheriff Yin Tong wearing a wide robe, lying leisurely on a mat, eating cut fruits, and admiring several dancers with hot figures but cool clothes.

Ji dances.

There was actually a jar of fine wine on the table, and Yin Tong had already drank most of it.

Lin Yu frowned slightly when he saw this.

Drinking and having fun early in the morning is too indulgent for Yin Tong.

With his careless look, if the Qin army launches a sneak attack, he is afraid that he will kill them on the spot.

When Yin Tong saw Lin Yu and the others coming in, he put down the fruit in his hands, glanced at them drunkenly, and asked with a big tongue:

"Are you... the Xiang clan of Western Chu?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Yin Tong laughed and said: "The Xiang family is famous! The old general Xiang Yan was a great hero who defeated Qin General Li Xin and killed seven captains of the Qin Empire!"

After hearing this, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo suddenly felt their faces light up.

Xiang Yan in the past was indeed the divine protector of Chu State!

Unexpectedly, Yin Tong changed the subject and mocked:

"It's a pity that Xiang Yan defeated Li Xin, but was no match for Wang Jian. Ten years ago, he was killed by Wang Jian outside Kuaiji City and left behind his armor. His son, daughter-in-law, and millions of Xiang's troops all died in Qin

Under the iron hooves of the army, tsk tsk..."

Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo's expressions became solemn again.

This battle is really a past event they don't want to recall.

Yin Tong added: "Back then, I also fought under the command of General Xiang Yan, but later I went back to my hometown to mourn and escaped the battle with Wang Jian. Haha, I'm really lucky..."

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Yin Tong chatting endlessly.

The Qin army is gathering at the border and may launch a sneak attack at any time.

He immediately interrupted: "Chief, I have received reliable information that the Qin State is gathering troops to prepare for a sneak attack on Kuaiji from the south of the city tomorrow morning. I hope you will make arrangements immediately to face the powerful enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Tong raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What? Qin is going to attack Kuaiji? Are you sure?"

Lin Yu nodded heavily; "Absolutely sure!"

Yin Tong said suspiciously: "I have a lot of spies in the Qin State, but why didn't I hear the news? Where did you hear this news?"

Lin Yuxin said: I heard it from Zhao Gao!

However, he certainly couldn't say this clearly. He could only make up a lie and said: "I was the one who sent the detailed report to Qin State."

Yin Tong didn't believe it, and sneered: "The detailed work you arranged? How come the detailed work you arranged is more informed than the detailed work I arranged? You got the information that I didn't get?"

Lin Yu frowned and said, "Sheriff, now is not the time to compete with someone's informant who is better informed. It is better to believe that this matter is true than to believe that it is not true. Let's make preparations early."

Xiang Liang also advised:

"Yes, the Qin army has always been vigorous and resolute. Once they attack, it will be difficult for us to parry! For the current plan, it is better to prepare for a rainy day!"

"I also hope that the county guard can quickly mobilize his troops to guard Kuaiji!"

Unexpectedly, Yin Tong snorted coldly and said impatiently: "Shut up! Don't think that because you are members of the Xiang family, you can give orders to me! Don't forget, I am the governor of Kuaiji County! You, the Xiang family of Western Chu, have long been

It’s gone!”

"This matter should be based on official news! As long as my informant does not report it, it means that this matter is simply fabricated! Stop misleading the public with your lies!"

Xiang Liang was helpless and earnestly persuaded: "Master Sheriff, how can such a big matter be a trivial matter? If we don't really get the news, how can we dare to tell lies?"

"Kuiji is the gateway to the Chu Kingdom. The governor must not take it lightly and give the Qin army an opportunity!"

Yin Tong became more and more impatient and glared at Xiang Liang: "I am a dignified county governor, and you still teach me how to do things with a low-income family like you?"

"Come here, drag down these guys who are spreading rumors! Give each of them fifty blows! Then put them in jail for a few days! Let them reflect and reflect!"

"Here!"

Immediately, several guards walked quickly down the hall, reaching out to catch Lin Yu and Xiang Liang.

Seeing that the Xiang family is about to become prisoners,

At the critical moment, Lin Yu suddenly burst out!

Grabbing the guard's arm with both hands, he turned around and threw him over his shoulder!

Easily knocking the guard to the ground!

With a clang, he pulled out the sword from the guard's waist,

Step forward quickly,

Aiming at the chest of Governor Yin Tong,

A sword! Pierced through!

With a pop,

Blood mist fills the air!

Yin Tong's eyes widened and he stared at Lin Yu in disbelief!

Everyone at the scene was shocked!

Whether it is Yin Tong's guards and officials, or Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, Xiang Zhuang...

Everyone was stunned by what Lin Yu did!

After a moment, a civil servant pointed at Lin Yu tremblingly and shouted:

"How dare you... How dare you kill the county guard in broad daylight? Are you, you, you... not afraid of beheading?"

Lin Yu smiled coldly and said loudly:

"Yin Tong is self-willed and indulges in drinking and sex. He is not worthy of being in charge of Kuaiji!"

"Now the Qin army is lurking outside the city and will launch an attack in the early morning tomorrow. If we are not prepared in time to fight, all men, women and children in the city will die under the iron hoof of the Qin army!"

"Instead of letting Yin Tong drag down the lives of the whole city, it is better for me to take his place! Command Kuaiji for him and guard the borders of Dachu!"

"The enemy is facing us, and the city of Kuaiji is in danger! If you are willing to listen to my command, I will ensure that you can repel the Qin army and defend the city! What do you think?"

The sonorous and powerful words moved everyone present.

But after all, Yin Tong has been in power for many years and still has a group of die-hard loyalists under his command.

Seeing Lin Yu forcibly killing people to seize power, some of Yin Tong's minions planned to take action to avenge their master.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang quickly whispered to Xiang Zhuang: "Zhuang'er, the incident in the county must be suppressed by force. Go to Yu Mansion immediately to bring troops to support!"

The Yu Mansion has great wealth and many servants. As long as they provide timely support, it will not be a problem to seize control of Kuaiji.

This is also the reason why Xiang Liang asked Lin Yu to marry the Yu family.

But just before Xiang Zhuang went to move reinforcements, a voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yu's mind.

[Ding~! It has been detected that the host has killed Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County. The road to hegemony has taken a step forward. The current progress is 0.02%]
