Emperor Xian issued an imperial edict to abdicate, but Dong Zhuo declined.

Just lie!

Dong Zhuo is about to usurp the throne. Anyone who is not blind can see it.

When Ji Shu received the news, he and Yueying were selecting new army leaders.

So while Ji Shu rushed back to the prefect's mansion to attend the meeting, he hurriedly asked Yueying to go back and keep an eye on Qingyu and not let her know the news.

Now the capital must become the center of a storm. As a Situ, how will Wang Yun deal with it?

Others may not have the answer, but wouldn't Ji Shu understand?

This man is a madman who once risked everything for his loyalty!

Although the authorities are confused and onlookers are clear-eyed, couldn't Qingyu, as a daughter, guess some of the things that even Ji Shu knew?

That's why Ji Shu asked Yueying to go home and look after his sister. He even planned to ask Qingshan, who had moved out of the mansion, to come back and watch over his sister.

But when Ji Shu walked into the mansion with an uneasy mood, Yueying only handed Ji Shu a soft note, basically saying that she was going to Chang'an to meet her father and asked Ji Shu not to worry.

"It's too late."

During Yueying's apology, Ji Shu sat down dejectedly.

There was no way, there was no way that Sun Ce would order the entire Jiangdong news to be blocked just for Qingyu alone. Even if Sun Ce agrees, there is not enough time. I am afraid that Qingyu has heard a lot of rumors in the market. After all, this matter is too big.

I have to stop my sister!

Although this voice kept echoing in his heart, Ji Shu was a little at a loss.

Back then, he could risk everything for his sister and scold Wang Yun. But now, he can no longer leave everything here for his sister.

"I asked my servant to pass the news to Brother Gan. The servant came back and said that Brother Gan had already gone after him."

Yueying comforted her gently.

"Thanks"

Ji Shu suddenly hugged Yueying, making her blush with embarrassment.

······

The following days were a bit torturous for Ji Shu, and he could only devote all his energy to training the new army.

Fortunately, the growth of the new army did not disappoint him.

Since Hou Cheng was promoted to commander, the soldiers below him have had more expectations and have been training more diligently. Ji Shu simply stopped rushing to appoint a new commander and announced that he would appoint one from among the officers with outstanding military merit.

Under the joint training of Jiang Qin, Xu Tu, and Hou Cheng, the foundation of this army was gradually revealed. Within ten days, the army was in good order, its advance and retreat were well-established, and it became much more impressive.

At this time, Ji Shu received another news that Dong Zhuo had accepted the abdication, and the abdication ceremony would be held ten days later.

Ji Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would have taken at least ten days for the news from Chang'an to reach Jianye. In other words, when Qingyu learned the news and set out, Dong Zhuo had actually accepted the abdication, and Qingyu could not catch up with the abdication ceremony in ten days.

saved!

Although Wang Yun was very sorry to say this, Ji Shu was very grateful for this. All that's left is that Gan Ning really catches up with his sister, stays by her side, and brings her back.

Ji Shu, relieved, planned the training of the new army more carefully.

The teacher Sun Ce promised had also been sent over, so the team started a training pattern that made other armies a little dumbfounded. They read and studied in the morning, and practiced fighting and assassination, gathering, and goose-stepping in the afternoon. From time to time, they would suddenly gather again in the middle of the night.

This was an eye-opener for the soldiers of the New Army. There was actually a teacher coming to teach them how to read.

Every morning has become their favorite time. After all, they only need to sit there and listen to the lectures, and they don't have to practice.

As for how many people can listen, haha, it’s hard to say. Jiang Qin, Xu Tu, and Hou Cheng also questioned Ji Shu many times, but Ji Shu was very stubborn on this point.

"Just train like this, I am the commander, just listen to me."

Fortunately, Ji Shu still had some authority, so several people agreed after mentioning it several times. The training was carried out in an orderly manner.

Although there were not many people who could read and few of them knew each other, sometimes the soldiers would tease each other about what their husband said. The fighting is becoming more and more exciting. The most important thing is that the trust and cooperation between the soldiers are slowly established. Although the sudden gathering in the middle of the night caused everyone to complain, the speed of gathering and reaction was indeed getting faster and faster.

Just when Ji Shu was obsessed with the training of the new army and gradually felt a sense of accomplishment, the ceremony that attracted the world's attention finally came to an end.

Six people, including Fu Wan, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Zhong Ji, Shi Sunrui, and Yang Zan, assassinated him at the abdication ceremony, killing dozens of officials who supported Dong, and severely damaged Dong Zhuo's political system.

Wang Yun led three thousand Yulin troops to attack the city gate. Dong Zhuo's army lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses before finally destroying them, but they still could not find Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The abdication ceremony turned into a joke.

But the next day, Dong Zhuo ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named "Qin". He claimed that Wang Yun, Fu Wan and others started a rebellion and killed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He inherited the destiny and ascended to the throne of emperor.

The princes all over the world issued statements of condemnation, but there was no other movement for the time being. The princes are still waiting and watching.

Is Emperor Xian really dead too?

Perhaps Emperor Xian will appear in a few days, and which prince will he become the puppet of? This is the consequences of Dong Zhuo losing Emperor Xian.

However.

More than ten days passed, but there was no news from Emperor Xian.

A month has passed and there is still no news from Emperor Xian.

Did the big man really die like that? ! !

The princes felt as if they were in a dream, and a legitimate reason for becoming king and emperor was placed in front of them.

Everyone knows that the world has once again reached a turning point of change.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Bei of Xuzhou simultaneously claimed to inherit the Han Dynasty and proclaimed themselves King of Han.

Liu Zhang of Bashu was even more unkind. He even gave up the title of Han Dynasty and established himself as the king of Shu.

Even Zhang Lu, who only occupied one county in Hanzhong, declared himself the king of Hanzhong.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are fighting fiercely in Guandu at this time, and the matter of self-reliance will probably have to wait until the outcome is decided between them.

Although Yuan Shu has not expressed anything yet, Sun Ce knows that he is planning a grand ceremony. With Yuan Shu's ambition, he may directly proclaim himself emperor.

Although proclaiming king and proclaiming emperor both declare to the world the establishment of an independent country, there are still some differences.

During the reign of the Zhou Dynasty, the King of Zhou was revered as the Son of Heaven by the princes, but his title was still King, the so-called head of kings.

Only Qin Shihuang, who ended the 500-year history of separatist wars in the Central Plains, believed that his achievements had surpassed those of the ancient sages, the three emperors and the five emperors, so he was called emperor.

In other words, being called emperor is a higher level than being called king, showing the majesty of dominating the world.

Except for Dong Zhuo, very few among the princes dared to play like this. The title of "Emperor" was at odds with the princes of the world.

"With Jianye as the center, we should establish the country of Wu."

Zhou Yu said, this is a conclusion based on historical research.

Needless to say, everyone in Jiangdong is also preparing to become king on their own. Ji Shu nodded. This was no different from history. He didn't pay much attention to the country's name, so he simply stopped talking.

But I didn't expect that Sun Ce had other ideas.

"No, I want to establish a country named 'Chu'!"
