時隴東屯兵扼其川路，將北趣蕃部假途，而因與郡盜酋長趙徽歃血為約，以兄事之。 Garrison troops in eastern Long blocked the river routes, so they planned to head north through tribal territory and borrow a passage. Yu then swore a blood oath with Zhao Hui, a local bandit chieftain, and treated him as an elder brother.

謂徽曰：「西至成都，余身為相，余父為將，爾當領一大郡，能遂行乎？」 He told Hui, "When we reach Chengdu, I shall become chief minister and my father a general, and you shall govern a great prefecture. Will you go through with this?"

徽曰：「諾。」 Hui answered, "Agreed."

行有期矣，徽潛召其黨，伺於郊外。 When the day of departure was fixed, Hui secretly gathered his men and waited in ambush outside the city.

徽之所親，循溝澮而遁，至馬峽路隅，舉燧相應，其黨起於伏莽，斷欽祚之首，貫諸長矛。 Hui's men stole along ditches and canals until, at a bend on the Maxia road, they lit signal fires. His band sprang from the brush, cut off Qinhuo's head, and spitted it on a long spear.
