Biography[]

Yan Yu was the younger brother of Yan Baihu, the White Tiger. Yan Baihu had resisted the invasion of Kuaiji commandery by Sun Ce since 195, though he had been largely ignored. It wasn't until 197, when Cao Cao tried to contact Yan Baihu, that Sun Ce took note and attacked the bandits under the White Tiger. Baihu sent Yan Yu to negotiate with Sun Ce, and the two met for a parley. Somewhere during the course of the meeting, Sun Ce drew his sword, and Yan Yu jumped in fear. Sun Ce took offence at this and killed him on the spot. Yan Yu's forces, stationed nearby, were attacked and defeated soon after. Any hope of a peaceful resolution between Yan Baihu and Sun Ce died with them.
