Profile
Yu She is a valiant general of Yuan Shu who appears in Chapter 5 of the Romance. When Hua Xiong comes down from the pass with armored cavalry to the lords' camp, carrying Sun Jian's red headcloth hoisted on a pole and hurling abuse as he challenges them to fight, Yuan Shao asks who will go out to fight, and Yu She steps forward from behind Yuan Shu, saying that he will go. But before three bouts with Hua Xiong are over, he is cut down by him. Romance, Ch. 5 §31–32
Of the Romance's 120 chapters he appears only in Chapter 5, and no chapter has his name in its title. The name Yu She appears neither in Chen Shou's main text nor in Pei Songzhi's commentary. The Biographies of Sun Jian and Sun Ce in Chen Shou's main text record that Sun Jian inflicted a great defeat on Dong Zhuo's army at Yangren and beheaded its Area Commander Hua Xiong and others, displaying their heads.

In the Romance
In Chapter 5 of the Romance, Hua Xiong comes down from the pass under cover of night and raids Sun Jian's camp. Sun Jian exchanges his red headcloth for Zu Mao's helmet and escapes by a side road, and Zu Mao, who has hung the red headcloth on a burnt pillar and hidden in the woods, is cut down by Hua Xiong's blade. When Sun Jian, grieving over the loss of Zu Mao, sends word, Yuan Shao is greatly alarmed and gathers the lords to confer. Romance, Ch. 5 §26–29
While all the lords remain silent, Yuan Shao, calling Xuande, who stands behind Gongsun Zan, a kinsman of the Han imperial house, has him take a seat, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stand in attendance behind him. Just then a scout arrives to report that Hua Xiong has come down from the pass with armored cavalry and, carrying Administrator Sun's red headcloth hoisted on a long pole, is before the camp hurling abuse and challenging them to fight. Romance, Ch. 5 §29–31
When Yuan Shao asks who will go out to fight, Yu She, a valiant general behind Yuan Shu, steps forward and says that he will go. Yuan Shao, pleased, sends Yu She out at once, but immediately word comes back that Yu She has been cut down by Hua Xiong before three bouts were over. As everyone is greatly alarmed, the Administrator Han Fu sends out his senior general Pan Feng, but Pan Feng, who goes out with a great axe, is also cut down by Hua Xiong before long. Romance, Ch. 5 §32
As everyone turns pale and Yuan Shao laments that his senior generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not yet arrived, Guan Yu steps forward and says that he will bring back Hua Xiong's head. Yuan Shu shouts that he is a mere archer and should be thrown out, but Cao Cao stops him and has a cup of hot wine poured. Guan Yu tells them to pour the wine and leave it for now, goes out and returns carrying Hua Xiong's head, and the wine is still warm. Yu She's name does not appear again in the Romance after this. Romance, Ch. 5 §33–36
