Wang Lei and Lu Bu led a team to see off their brides from Chang'an and headed straight to Jingzhou. According to Wang Lei's plan, after the team arrived in Jingzhou, they could take the water route from Jiangxia, go east all the way, and finally arrive in Qu'a County.

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

The group took a little supply in Shang County and headed straight to Wuguan, which led to Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Wuguan was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and was called "Shaoxi Pass" at that time, but was changed to "Wuguan" during the Warring States Period. The city tower of Wuguan was built on a relatively flat high ground in the canyon, with a high Shaoxi Mountain in the north and a dangerous place in the south. The city tower of the checkpoint was 1.5 kilometers in circumference, and the city wall was built with soil, slightly square, with one door open from east to west, and a rolled hole was built with bricks and stones.

The terrain on the west side of the level is relatively flat, which is conducive to the transport of troops, materials, etc. to Wuguan. The cliffs on the east side of the level are high and deep, narrow and difficult to move, which is conducive to defense. It is a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This checkpoint is a key area south of Chang'an. Dong Zhuo set up heavy troops to guard it. The group of people walked south and quickly entered the territory of Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

However, Nanyang County is not in the hands of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, but in the hands of Yuan Shu.

In history, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, Yuan Shu escaped from Luoyang in shame, and finally gained a foothold in Nanyang County. When Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou, he died in Jingzhou. When Sun Ce was young, the Sun family's foundation was almost destroyed. At that time, Yangzhou and Yuzhou fell into a throne again. Yuan Shu took the opportunity to occupy part of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and transferred his old nest to Shouchun, becoming a prince living in a corner.

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

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

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

Wang Lei entered Nanyang County, but he still didn't know what Yuan Shu was thinking?

The team was resting, and Wang Lei invited Lu Bu to discuss the matter of going south. Wang Lei said seriously and seriously: "This time, you have to go to Qu'a, you have to pass through the territory of Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and through the sphere of influence of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and finally enter Jiangdong and rush to Qua by water. We will encounter different forces along the way, but these princes are not clear about their attitudes and the future is unknown. What do your brother thinks?"

After getting Wang Lei’s questioning, Lu Bu felt very happy.

Wang Lei took the initiative to inquire, proving that Wang Lei attaches importance to his opinions. Although Lu Bu was the official envoy, Wang Lei had a greater official position and had a greater voice.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "In my opinion, things are very simple. When you encounter an enemy, just throw it over with a halberd."

Wang Lei rolled his eyes, and this was nothing to say.

Lu Bu shrugged and said helplessly: "My brother, I will never be vague when I go to battle to kill the enemy. If you ask me to talk about the issue of going south, I was completely blind and didn't know anything. This is even more painful than killing me."

After a moment of pause, Lu Bu asked again: "What are your plans? Tell me directly."

Wang Lei said: "Brother, I will tell you my opinion."

Lu Bu nodded with anticipation.

Wang Lei looked serious and said slowly: "As I said just now, we will pass through Yuan Shu's territory, and we will also encounter Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and even face the various princes of Yangzhou. The attitudes of these princes towards the prime minister cannot be determined for the time being. Because of this, we cannot determine whether our way south will be smooth or whether we encounter obstacles everywhere."

"For my brother and I, I don't have much to worry about when I encounter an enemy, just kill it."

"We two can kill, but the bride-sending team cannot."

"Especially, the daughter of the prime minister is with us. Once the enemy attacks, we may be constrained everywhere due to Dong Yu's reasons and will find it difficult to exert combat effectiveness."

"My idea is to build a plank road openly and secretly travel through Chencang, and move forward in two ways."

"On the first way, Dian Wei led the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Camp to disguise himself as ordinary merchants and took the Prime Minister's daughter Dong Yu to move forward quietly; on the second way, we both protected the bride's team and went south to attract everyone's attention."

"In this way, even if you encounter an attack, you will not be hindered."

Wang Lei talked happily and said, "Dian Wei and Dong Yu and his party rushed forward quickly, and they would definitely arrive first. In this way, they would definitely arrive at Qu'a safely."

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

Wang Lei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You must make the worst plan, otherwise it will be too late to make another plan once an emergency occurs. This time, there will be no mistakes in escorting Dong Yu. Once there is a mistake, the purpose of the Prime Minister Sun Ce's marriage cannot be achieved, and his daughter has problems. Do you think we can have a good life after returning to Chang'an?"

Speaking of this, Wang Lei shrugged and said, "I don't care. I will return to Jizhou sooner or later, but my brother works under the Prime Minister's command. I can't let the Prime Minister think that my brother can't do anything well."

Lu Bu showed an expression of agreement and nodded, "I agree with your statement, but Dong Yu's decision must be sought. If she does not agree, there may be problems."

Wang Lei smiled and said, "It's easy, I'll talk about it."

Immediately, Wang Lei stood up and headed towards the carriage that Dong Yu was riding.

Wang Lei stood outside the carriage and said, "San Niangzi, this time he went south, Yuan Shu of Nanyang and Liu Biao in Jingzhou are unknown, and there may be danger. I plan to divide the troops and General Lu and I will protect the brides and send them to the south, and attract the attention of all the princes with great fanfare. I will then send cavalrymen from the Flying Tiger Camp to escort the San Niangzi to disguise themselves first. I wonder what the San Niangzi wanted?"

Dong Yu replied: "Mr. Wang's arrangement is that Dong Yu has no objection."

Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Dong Yu could understand.

When he returned to Lu Bu, Wang Lei immediately called Dian Wei and ordered: "Brother, this time I rushed to Qu'a, you will lead the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Camp to escort Dong Yu first, General Lu and I will protect the team who sent the brides south."

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

In Dian Wei's eyes, even a hundred Dong Yus are not as good as a single Wang Lei.

Protecting Wang Lei's safety is his responsibility.

Lu Bu snorted with a straight face and said, "Da Heizi, are you good at martial arts? Or is my good at martial arts? As long as I am here, there will be no problem with my brother's safety."

Dian Wei curled his lips and said, "When the disaster is coming, don't talk about protecting your lord, I am afraid you will be the first to escape. When the lord is in danger, Dian Wei will definitely be the first to block the lord. You are different. You are Dong Zhuo's person. Can you protect your lord like me? Besides, who is better between us? Only after fighting will you know."

Lu Bu snorted and said, "Fuck, I still have a breath, I will definitely protect my brother's safety."

Dian Wei raised his head, looking disbelieving.

Wang Lei stopped the two of them and said firmly: "Don't argue, this matter is decided. Dian Wei escorted Dong Yu first, and we found a maid who accompanied him to dress up as Dong Yu and went south with great fanfare."

Dian Wei opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but Wang Lei had a firm look on his face.
