Wang Lei and Lu Bu set off from Chang'an with a team to send off their relatives and went straight to Jingzhou. According to Wang Lei's plan, after the team arrived in Jingzhou, they could take the waterway from Jiangxia, all the way to the east, and finally arrive in Qu'a County.

From Chang'an to Jingzhou, Wang Lei and his entourage passed through Duling County, Lantian County, Shangda County, and finally entered Shang County.

After a little supply in Shang County, the group went straight to Wuguan, which leads to Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Wuguan, built in the Spring and Autumn Period, was called "Shaoxi Pass" at that time, and changed to "Wuguan" during the Warring States Period. The city tower of Wuguan is built on a relatively flat high ground between the canyons, with the high Shaoxi Mountain in the north and the danger in the south. The circumference of the castle tower of the checkpoint is 1.5 kilometers, the city wall is built with earth, slightly square, the east and west open a door, and the roll hole is covered with bricks and stones.

The terrain on the west side of the checkpoint is relatively flat, which is conducive to the transportation of troops and materials to Wuguan. The east side of the checkpoint is high and deep, narrow and difficult to walk, which is conducive to defense, and is a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This checkpoint is an important place to defend the south of Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo has set up heavy troops to guard it. The group went through Wuguan and went all the way south, and soon entered the territory of Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

It's just that Nanyang County is not in the hands of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, but in the hands of Yuan Shu.

Historically, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, and Yuan Shu escaped from Luoyang in disgrace, and finally gained a foothold in Nanyang County. When Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou, he died in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce was young, Sun's foundation was almost destroyed, and Yangzhou and Yuzhou fell into ** at that time, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to occupy part of the territory of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, transferred the nest to Shouchun, and became a prince living in a remote corner.

Due to Wang Lei's influence, Liu Bei, who was still down-and-out, changed.

Liu Bei occupied Runan, and after gaining a foothold in Runan, he rose rapidly.

Nanyang County borders Runan, and Liu Bei's rise blocked Yuan Shaodong's road to Yuzhou and Yangzhou, making Yuan Shu still in Nanyang County, unable to reach the level of arrogance in history.

Wang Lei entered Nanyang County, but it was not clear what Yuan Shu's mind was?

The team rested, and Wang Lei invited Lu Bu to his side to discuss the matter of going south. Wang Lei looked serious and said solemnly: "This time I rushed to Qu'a, I had to pass through the territory of Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and I had to pass through Liu Biao's sphere of influence in Jingzhou, and finally I could enter Jiangdong and rush to Qu'a by water." We will encounter different forces along the way, and these princes have unclear attitudes and unknown futures, what do you think of my brother? ”

After Wang Lei's inquiry, Lu Bu was very happy in his heart.

Wang Lei took the initiative to ask, proving that Wang Lei attaches importance to his opinions. Although Lu Bu is the envoy of the envoy, in terms of the official positions of the two, Wang Lei is bigger and has a heavier right to speak.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "In my opinion, things are very simple, when you encounter an enemy, you can overturn it with a halberd." ”

Wang Lei rolled his eyes, this was almost nothing.

Lu Bu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Brother Xian, it is not ambiguous for me to go into battle to kill the enemy. When you asked me to talk about going south, I was completely blinded and didn't know anything, which was more painful than killing me. ”

After a pause, Lu Bu asked again: "What are the plans of the virtuous brother, just say it." ”

Wang Lei said: "Brother instructed, let me say my opinion." ”

Lu Bu nodded, his eyes expectant.

Wang Lei's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "As I said just now, we will pass through Yuan Shu's territory when we go south, and we will also meet Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and even face all the princes in Yangzhou." The attitude of these princes towards Xiangguo cannot be determined for the time being. Because of this, we can't be sure that the road to the south is smooth? Still encountering obstacles everywhere. ”

"As far as my brother and I are concerned, there is nothing to worry about when we encounter an enemy, just kill them."

"The two of us can kill, but the family sending team can't."

"Especially Xiangguo's daughter with us, once the enemy attacks, we are likely to be hindered everywhere because of Dong Yu, and it will be difficult to exert combat effectiveness."

"My idea is to repair the plank road in the dark and move forward in two ways."

"On the first road, Dian Wei led the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion to pretend to be ordinary businessmen, and took Xiangguo's daughter Dong Yu to advance quietly; On the second road, the two of us protected the team to the south, attracting everyone's attention. ”

"That way, even if you are attacked, you won't be hindered."

Wang Lei talked eloquently and said: "Dian Wei and Dong Yu and his party are in a hurry to arrive, and they will definitely arrive first." In this way, you can definitely reach Qua safely. ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "According to your arrangement, it seems that there are many enemies along the way?" ”

Wang Lei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You must plan for the worst, otherwise once you encounter an emergency, it will be too late to make any more plans." This trip to escort Dong Yu cannot be anything wrong. Once there is a business trip, the purpose of Xiangguo Sun Ce's marriage cannot be achieved, and the daughter has a problem again, do you say that after returning to Chang'an, can we get better? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care, sooner or later I have to return to Jizhou, but my brother is working under Xiangguo, and I can't let Xiangguo think that my brother can't do anything." ”

Lu Bu showed a look of approval, nodded and said, "I agree with your statement, but we still have to ask Dong Yu for a decision on this matter." If she doesn't agree, I'm afraid there will be problems. ”

Wang Lei smiled and said, "It's easy, I'll say it." ”

Immediately, Wang Lei stood up and walked towards Dong Yu's carriage.

Wang Lei stood outside the carriage and said: "Three ladies, this time I went south to Qu'a, Nanyang Yuan Shu and Jingzhou Liu Biao have unclear attitudes, I'm afraid there will be danger." I plan to divide the troops into two routes, and the team that will be protected by General Lu and I will go south, attracting the attention of all the princes with great fanfare. I will send the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion to escort the three ladies in disguise first, I don't know what the three ladies want? ”

Dong Yu replied: "Lord Wang's arrangement is, Dong Yu has no opinion. ”

Wang Lei breathed a long sigh of relief, it was good that Dong Yu could understand.

Returning to Lu Bu's side, Wang Lei immediately asked someone to call Dian Wei and instructed: "Brother, rush to Qu'a this time, you will lead the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion to escort Dong Yu first, and General Lu and I will protect the team to send relatives south." ”

Dian Wei immediately refused, and said, "No, I'm leaving, who will protect the safety of the lord?" ”

In Dian Wei's eyes, a hundred Dong Yu are not as good as one Wang Lei.

Protecting Wang Lei's safety is his duty.

Lu Bu grimaced, snorted, "Big Heizi, your martial arts are high?" Or is my martial arts high? As long as I am here, there will be no problem with the safety of my brother. ”

Dian Wei pursed his lips and said, "When the catastrophe is coming, don't talk about protecting the lord, I'm afraid you will be the first to slip away." When the lord is in danger, I don't say a word, I will definitely be the first to stand in front of the lord. You are different, you are Dong Zhuo's person, can you protect the lord like me? Besides, who is more powerful between us, we will only know until we fight. ”

Lu Bu snorted and said, "Fart, I still have a breath left, and I will definitely protect the safety of my brother." ”

Dian Wei held his head high, looking disbelieving.

Wang Lei stopped the two from arguing and said resolutely: "Don't argue, this matter is settled." Dian Wei escorted Dong Yu first, and we found a maid who accompanied us to pretend to be Dong Yu and went south with great fanfare. ”

Dian Wei opened his mouth to persuade again, but Wang Lei had a determined expression.

In desperation, Dian Wei had to agree.
