Chapter 335: Prelude to the Coming Storm
Wang Lei and Lu Bu led the team south, and wherever they passed, they did not encounter any obstacles. Not only that, when passing through the county seats of Danshui County and Nanxiang County, the county commanders of the two counties took the initiative to supply Wang Lei and his party, providing dry food, supplementing horses, etc., which solved the logistics supply of Wang Lei and his party.
Further south, you will arrive in Shunyang County.
The morning sun is rising, and the golden sun is shining all over the land.
Outside the county seat of Shunyang County, a team of people came, numbering about 30 people.
The person who came was none other than Yuan Shu.
Wang Lei escorted Dong Zhuo's daughter all the way south, first passing through Danshui County, and then through Nanxiang County, Yuan Shu had already speculated that Wang Lei was going to pass through Shunyang County, and rushed over early, ready to meet Wang Lei.
Post House, Yuan Shu Room.
Yuan Shu looked excited and asked, "Yang Changshi, where is Wang Lei?" ”
Changshi Yang Hong replied: "Back to the lord, Wang Lei and his party have entered the territory of Shunyang County. The latest news from the Genjun is no more than thirty miles away from the county seat. ”
"According to the plan, send someone to inform Wang Lei first, and then I will go out of the city to greet him."
Yuan Shu's eyes were excited, and he ordered directly.
Yang Hong left the room and went to arrange Yuan Shu's orders.
……
Twenty miles away from the county seat of Shunyang County, a team of people and horses advanced without hurrying or slow.
This team is the team protected by Wang Lei and Lu Bu. Wang Lei and Lu Bu looked relaxed, and Lu Bu chuckled: "Brother Xian, when you first entered Nanyang County, you also said that we may face crises everywhere when we go south, but after passing through Danshui County and Nanxiang County, it is enough to see that Yuan Shu wants to curry favor with Xiangguo, so everything will be arranged for us." In the territory of Nanyang County, there will be no danger. ”
Wang Lei looked calm and said: "I didn't expect Yuan Shu to fully cooperate, so it's okay, let's go south smoothly and strive to arrive in Qu'a as soon as possible." ”
"Report!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front.
A sentry scout rushed over quickly, and a puff of smoke had already stopped in front of Wang Lei and Lu Bu, and said with a fist: "General Lu, a soldier of Yuan Shu was caught in front, and he said that he had something important to ask to see General Lu and Lord Wang." ”
"Bring it here!"
With a wave of Lu Bu's hand, the sentry immediately retreated.
After a short time, the soldiers sent by Yuan Shu were brought over. The soldier knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "General Lu, Lord Wang, and Lord Taishou personally went to Shunyang County to pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Lu and Lord Wang, and invited the two of them to the banquet." ”
"Tell Yuan Shu that I will definitely go to the banquet."
Lu Bu didn't think about it, and answered directly.
Before Wang Lei could speak, Yuan Shu's soldiers had already turned around and left.
Wang Lei looked at the back of Yuan Shu's soldiers leaving, scratched his head, and said helplessly: "Brother, if Yuan Shu is deliberately showing favor in Danshui County and Nanxiang County, he wants to lure us into Danyang County. Then lay an ambush in Danyang County, what should we do? ”
Lu Bu exclaimed 'ah', shook his head and said, "It's impossible, Yuan Shu is so stupid, he won't be so smart." ”
Wang Lei sighed lightly, this matter is really hard to judge.
Yuan Shu issued an invitation, which is a good thing, especially with Yuan Shu's order, Wang Lei and his party can be unimpeded in Nanyang County. However, Wang Lei was in the field and had to think more. Of course, Yuan Shu's invitation is not easy to refuse, in case Yuan Shu is a sincere invitation, once refused, it may annoy Yuan Shu, but it will make the situation unfavorable.
Wang Lei thought for a moment and already had an idea.
Immediately, Wang Lei summoned the sentry and ordered: "We will go to the county seat of Shunyang County, you immediately dress up, pretend to be ordinary people and rush to Shunyang County to investigate the situation first." Before the team arrives, be sure to check the situation and report back. ”
"Yes!"
One by one, the sentinels were ordered, and they quickly went down to prepare.
Soon, all the sentries were distributed.
Wang Lei was worried that the rush was too fast, and people slowed down the speed of the hurry, giving the sentinel enough time to investigate. When it was only eight miles away from the county seat of Shunyang County, a sentinel finally rushed back first.
The sentinel reported: "My lord, there is no situation of a large army stationed in Shunyang County, according to the news of the inquiry, Yuan Shu only arrived with a few dozen followers, and there are no others. In addition, Yuan Shu went out of the city in person and was already waiting for the adults three miles outside the city. ”
One after another, another sentry came back to report the news.
The information obtained is that the front is safe, and there is no danger.
Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to move forward at full speed.
When the team arrived three miles outside the city, Yuan Shu was already waiting with the main officials under his command and a cadre of officials from Shunyang County. After Yuan Shu saw Wang Lei, he took the initiative to get out of the carriage and strode up to meet him.
Wang Lei turned over and dismounted, and stepped up to meet him.
Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and led the team to move forward slowly. He controlled the situation remotely in the back, and once there was a slight abnormality, Lu Bu would immediately order the soldiers to attack and support Wang Lei.
After a while, the two met.
Yuan Shu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, it has been more than a year since we last met. I didn't expect to be able to meet in Shunyang County, it's really fate. After a year, Lord Wang is already a pastor of Jizhou, which is enviable. ”
The tone is full of affection.
However, Wang Lei felt a touch of strangeness in the cordiality.
Wang Lei smiled in return and said, "Yuan is too good at honoring!" After a pause, Wang Lei said again: "Yuan Taishou personally went out of the city to greet him, and Wang Lei felt very honored. This way south, when passing through Danshui County and Nanxiang County, there are special supplies, presumably it is Yuan Taishou's order, thank you Taishou. ”
At this time, Lu Bu had already ridden over.
Yuan Shu looked at Lu Bu and said, "General Lu's martial arts are the first in the world, and he has been admired for a long time. ”
Lu Bu smiled and replied politely.
A gloomy flash flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, but he still smiled and greeted Wang Lei and Lu Bu and his party towards the city. When he came to the post house where he lived, Yuan Shu asked people to bring the prepared dishes to Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others. Yuan Shu smiled, picked up the wine bottle and said, "Lord Wang, these dishes were invented by you, they are very delicious, you are really a genius." ”
"Come, I'll give Lord Wang and General Lu a drink!"
Yuan Shu first did it as a respect, picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all.
Wang Lei and Lu Bu also drank and chatted while eating. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after eating about the same, Wang Lei offered to leave. Yuan Shu opened his mouth to stay, Wang Lei's attitude was resolute, and in the end, Yuan Shu asked people to supply Wang Lei with dry food, etc., and personally sent Wang Lei out of the city. Back at the post house, Yuan Shu called Yang Hong and instructed: "Tell Liu Bei that it's time to do it." ”
"Yes!"
Yang Hong nodded in response and immediately left the post house.
Yuan Shu sat alone in the room, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "Wang Lei, Wang Lei, before you died, I held a banquet to entertain you." You died in Nanyang County, Dong Zhuo will pursue it, and I will be able to shirk the past. Besides, it was Liu Bei who killed you, and after Liu Bei killed you, I will reap the benefits of the fisherman, hahaha......"
A burst of laughter echoed through the room.
