Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei and Lu Bu set off from Chang'an with a team to see off their relatives and went straight to Jingzhou.According to Wang Lei's plan, after the team arrived in Jingzhou, they could travel by water from Jiangxia, all the way east, and finally arrive at Qu'e 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 went straight to Wuguan, which leads to Nanyang County in Jingzhou, after resupplying in Shang County.

Wuguan, built in the Spring and Autumn Period, was called "Shaoxi Pass" at that time, and was changed to "Wuguan" in the Warring States Period.The tower of Wuguan is built on a relatively flat highland among the canyons, with the steep Shaoxi Mountain in the north and the dangerous point in the south.The circumference of the gate tower of the checkpoint is 1.5 kilometers. The city wall is made of earth and is slightly square.

The terrain to the west of the checkpoint is relatively flat, which is conducive to the transportation of troops and materials to Wuguan.On the east side of the checkpoint, the cliffs are high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, which is conducive to defense. It is a typical example of easy defense but difficult attack.

This checkpoint is an important place to defend the south of Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo deployed heavy troops to guard it.A group of people left Wuguan, headed south all the way, and soon entered the territory of Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

However, Nanyang County is not in the hands of Jingzhou Mu Liubiao, but in the hands of Yuan Shu.

Historically, Dong Zhuo led troops into Luoyang, Yuan Shu fled Luoyang in despair, and finally gained a foothold in Nanyang County.When Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou, he died in Jingzhou. Sun Ce was young, and Sun's foundation was almost destroyed. At that time, Yangzhou and Yuzhou fell into turmoil. The princes who lived in a 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, so Yuan Shu is still in Nanyang County, and has not been able to reach the level of tyranny in history.

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

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 to go to Qu'e, we have to pass through Yuan Shu's territory in Nanyang and Liu Biao's sphere of influence in Jingzhou, before we can enter Jiangdong and go to Qu'e by water. We will meet different people along the way. Power, but the attitude of these princes is not clear, and the way forward is unknown, what do you think, brother?"

After receiving Wang Lei's inquiry, Lu Bu was very happy.

Wang Lei's active inquiry proved that Wang Lei valued his opinion.Although Lu Bu was the official envoy, Wang Lei was the bigger official and had more power to speak in terms of their official positions.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "In my opinion, the matter is very simple. When encountering an enemy, just throw down the enemy with one halberd."

Wang Lei rolled his eyes, it was nothing to say.

Lu Bu shrugged, and said helplessly: "My dear brother, I am absolutely unambiguous in killing the enemy. You asked me to talk about the issue of going south. My eyes are completely darkened, and I don't know anything. It's better than killing me." more painful."

After a short pause, Lu Bu asked again: "What's your plan, brother, just tell me directly."

Wang Lei said: "My brother told me, let me express my opinion."

Lu Bu nodded, looking expectantly.

Wang Lei looked serious, and 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 the princes from all walks of life in Yangzhou. The attitude of these princes towards Xiangguo is temporarily uncertain. .Because of this, we can't be sure whether the road going south is smooth or whether we encounter obstacles everywhere."

"For my brother and me, there is nothing to worry about when we encounter enemies, just kill them."

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

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

"My idea is to open up the plank road and cover Chencang secretly, and advance in two ways."

"On the first route, Dian Wei led the cavalry from the Feihu Camp to pretend to be ordinary merchants, and took Xiangguo's daughter Dong Yu to advance quietly; on the second route, the two of us protected the team going south to attract everyone's attention."

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

Wang Lei talked eloquently, and said: "Dian Wei led Dong Yu and his party to rush on the road quickly, and they will definitely arrive first. In this way, they will definitely reach Qu'e 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 it will be too late to make plans in case of an emergency. This trip to escort Dong Yu, there must be no mistakes. Once there is a mistake, Xiangguo Sun Ce's marriage failed to achieve his goal, and his daughter has problems again, do you think we can live well after returning to Chang'an?"

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

Lu Bu showed an expression of approval, nodded and said, "I agree with your statement, but this matter has to be decided by Dong Yu. If she disagrees, there may be problems."

Wang Lei smiled and said, "It's easy, I'll tell you."

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

Wang Lei stood outside the carriage and said, "Third lady, this time going south to Qu'a, Yuan Shu in Nanyang and Liu Biao in Jingzhou are not clear about their attitudes, so I'm afraid it will be dangerous. I plan to divide the troops into two groups, and General Lu and I will protect and send the team southward with great fanfare. Attract the attention of all the princes. I will send the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion to escort the third lady in disguise, I wonder what the third lady wants?"

Dong Yu replied: "Master Wang arranged it, and Dong Yu has no objection."

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

Returning to Lu Bu, Wang Lei immediately had Dian Wei called over, and said, "Brother, this time we are going to Qu'a, you will lead the cavalry from the Feihu Camp to escort Dong Yu away first, and General Lu and I will protect the team going south."

Dian Wei immediately refused, saying: "No, I'm leaving, who will protect the safety of the lord?"

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

It is his duty to protect Wang Lei's safety.

With a straight face, Lu Bu snorted and said, "Da Heizi, is your martial arts higher? Or is my martial arts higher? As long as I'm here, my brother's safety will be fine."

Dian Wei curled his lips, and said: "When the disaster is imminent, don't talk about protecting the lord, I'm afraid you will be the first to run away. When the lord is in danger, Dian Wei, without saying a word, will definitely be the first to stand in front of the lord. You are different, you are Dong Zhuo's man, can you protect the lord like me? Besides, who is stronger between us, we will only know after fighting again."

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

Dian Wei held his head high, with an expression of disbelief.

Wang Lei stopped the two from arguing, and said resolutely: "Don't argue, this matter is settled like this. Dian Wei escorted Dong Yu to go first, and we found another accompanying maid to pretend to be Dong Yu, and headed south with great fanfare."

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

In desperation, Dian Wei had no choice but to agree.
