Thus and word order

It isn’t clear for me in which cases one can use the word “thus.” And how. Because there are two different basic cases.
1.: In this case I wouldn’ t like for “thus” to be emphasised.
The road was closed, thus we had to go on the other road. (I.e. it’s not an explanation why we went on the other road but it’s a simple mention of what happened then, though with some meaning of “consequently.”)
I couldn’t go home, and thus, nor can I bring that book.
I forgot that he can’t keep a secret. I brought all those things to his knowledge, and thus to everybody’s knowledge.

2. As opposed to the above, in the following, “thus” and “in this way” should be emphasised, should be like “that is how,” (These are attempts with different word orders, and in the last sentence I’ve inserted a “did.”)
A: -Let’s call the dog Max. B: -Alright, let’s call it thus.
I think thus. (I.e. “That is how I think.)
The account continues thus, “[…]”
Thus the text runs, “[…]”
He spent all his time with training, thus he was able to win the race. (The intended meaning is: it was the continuous training which made him able to win the race.)
One day the car broke down and thus the whole story began.
The bee lands also on another flower, thus pollinating it.
He took her on his back, so they thus together fell into the water.
She put on a hat and thus did she go.
