The battle of Lian Province had just ended, and the aftermath was endless.
Ignoring the fact that the members of the Mountain and Sea Alliance were attacking everywhere and rapidly expanding their territory. The main character of this incident, Shanhai City, was what the players were most concerned about.
The two lords whose territories had been annihilated secretly sold the news to Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng then combined other information and wrote a long comment on the forum.
"The Mountain and Sea Alliance's Counterattack and the Yan Huang Alliance's End"
As soon as the post was published, it immediately caused a sensation.
Only then did the players realize that the battle in Lian Province had been reversed. Not only had the Yan Huang Alliance not gained any advantage, but they had also suffered a double loss.
When the news came out, everyone was naturally taken aback.
For a time, there were slaps on the face everywhere.
"Mountain Sea City has turned the tables on us!"
"The Yan Huang Alliance's strength has been greatly weakened, and they no longer have the strength to compete with the Mountain and Sea Alliance!!!"
"Retreating in order to advance. Shanhai City's plans are profound!"
"A trap! A huge trap! Shanhai City is inviting you to enter the trap! "
…
"The God of Slaughter Bai Qi is truly invincible. In the time it takes for him to joke around, the alliance army has been annihilated!"
"After Lord Chunshen lost his life to the Shanhai City army twice, he vomited three liters of blood!!!"
"Military Kill Ripper has died three times, I'm not satisfied!!!!"
"China's biggest joke? The Yan Huang Alliance has returned to the top? Hehe ~ ~ ~ ~ "
Other than ridicule, there were also groups of people who were kneeling down and licking his boots …
"If Wuyi unifies Lianzhou, his hegemony will be in sight!!!"
"Lord Wuyi didn't even need to do anything himself, and the Yan Huang Alliance was defeated in Mai City, what a godly person!!!"
"The major forces are completely defeated, and the civilian players are taking the opportunity to rise!!!"
"Shanhai City has shocked the entire world!!!"
…
On the forum, there was another war of words. Some of the so-called 'authoritative figures' who had tried their best to speak ill of Shanhai City and support the Yan Huang Alliance were instantly slapped in the face, and no longer dared to speak on the forums.
Normal players were just watching the show, but those who were truly observant were secretly shocked.
Whether it was Jack of the United States or Ruan Tianque of the Annan District, they all looked solemn.
The nearby Japanese and Korean districts were even more silent.
Amidst the clamor, the players were even more eager to understand the details of the war.
Unfortunately, apart from the Shanhai City High Command, there was probably no one else who knew the details of this battle.
After the establishment of the Military Force Lecture Hall, the War Saint, Sun Wu, specially invited Bai Qi to write down the details of the battle in Lianzhou into a case study for teaching purposes.
Bai Qi even took time out to teach the first batch of students in the lecture hall.
The first lecture was about the Battle of Lian Province that had just ended.
The battle of Lianzhou also became another classic example of Bai Qi's combat characteristics of focusing on the construction of fortifications, implementing the tactics of a large detour and a large encirclement, and combining positional warfare with mobile warfare.
The only difference was that the war had become more complicated, and the factors of teleportation and communication had to be considered.
Bai Qi was undoubtedly applying what he had learned.
While he was dealing with the teleportation of his allies, he was also using the advantage of teleportation to the extreme. It was the teleportation of the Second Division that became the stroke of genius in this battle, setting the general tone of the war in one fell swoop.
Bai Qi was using this method to declare his existence.
Shanhai City had once again amazed the world!
Just like what the forums had said, after this battle, the Yan Huang Alliance would be quiet for a while.
They needed to hide in the dark and slowly heal their wounds.
As for whether or not they would really fall, Ouyang Shuo did not believe it.
The deep foundations of the various major powers had already been revealed in the battle of Lianzhou.
Especially at the last stage, Di Chen's' Cicada Shedding Carapace 'had shocked Ouyang Shuo. In such a thrilling situation, they were still able to convince a certain lord to surrender. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Moreover, the only ones who were truly hurt in this battle were Lord Chunshen and Kill Ripper. The other members of the Yan Huang Alliance had only lost some teleportation fees and elite soldiers.
To the territories, these could be slowly recovered with the accumulation of time.
After this battle, Ouyang Shuo no longer dared to look down on these old powers.
In his previous life, he was only an adventure-type player, and did not have the qualifications to fight against the Six Tyrants of Handan City. His understanding of them was limited.
Was the strength that the Yan Huang Alliance had displayed just the tip of the iceberg?
Everything was unknown.
After the battle of Lianzhou, Shanhai City had basically been exposed to the Yan Huang Alliance, and there were no longer any secrets. This was also one of the reasons why Ouyang Shuo was so anxious to open up the Cliff State.
He had to gain more strategic depth for his territory, and have more trump cards.
Apart from that, the determination that the Yan Huang Alliance had revealed made Ouyang Shuo wary.
The Yan Huang Alliance had planned this battle for a long time, and their goal was clear, which was to kill him in one blow.
As the Shan Hai Alliance's influence grew, he had become a thorn in the Yan Huang Alliance's side, and they wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The Yan Huang Alliance's style of doing things was also becoming clear.
Once they struck, they had to be fatal.
Ouyang Shuo sighed. As a commoner, he wanted to challenge the entire China region's power. It was a long and arduous journey, and every step was filled with danger and thorns.
On the road to hegemony, one could not stop for even a moment!
After the battle, the military was in a state of unprecedented bustle.
First and foremost was the reorganization of the army.
In this battle, the four field divisions and the City Guard Division had lost a total of 12000 men. The City Guard Division and the Third Division had suffered the heaviest losses, and both had fought a tough battle.
As for the prisoners of war, Borite's troops had surrendered 3000 men, and the Grassland Alliance had 28000 men left. Lord Chunshen's troops had surrendered 8000 men, Duanren County's City Guard Division had surrendered 7000 men, and the allied Eastern Army Division had surrendered 20000 men. In total, there were more than 66000 men, which was a very shocking number.
The first step was to transfer soldiers from the prisoners of war to replenish the losses of the divisions. After filling in the gaps, there were still 54000 prisoners of war waiting to be reorganized, which was equivalent to four divisions.
Because the number of prisoners of war was too large, Ouyang Shuo personally instructed the military to eliminate as many wounded or unqualified soldiers as possible, and arrange for them to be retired.
The main targets of elimination were the Grassland Cavalry and Duanren County's City Guard Division. The former had some cavalry that was temporarily conscripted during the war, and were all disbanded. The latter was uneven, and was also an important target for elimination.
As for the allied forces, they were basically all elite troops. Other than the wounded and some diehard loyalists, they were basically retained.
The mission of the military office was to reorganize three field divisions and two City Guard Brigades from the prisoners of war. The Independent Cavalry Brigade, which had always been outside the system, was also included in the scope of reorganization.
The remaining prisoners of war were all included in the reserve force.
The specific personnel changes and adjustments to the structure of the army would have to wait until Ouyang Shuo returned to make a final decision.
Other than reorganizing the army, the military office was also responsible for post-war compensation, logistics, and other tedious work.
Of course, there was also the stabilizing of the situation in the Grassland.
After the allied Eastern Army Division surrendered, Bai Qi immediately ordered the Second Division to immediately rush to the Grassland to assist the Fourth Division in stabilizing the situation.
Before that, Mu Guiying had already led the Fourth Division into the Blessed Lake. Before the Tianzhi Tribe could react, all the nobles and royalty of the Tianzhi Tribe were captured in one fell swoop.
The Second Division's mission was to detain all the nobles of the seven medium-sized tribes at the Blessed Lake, and wait for Ouyang Shuo's return to deal with them.
In fact, when the news of the defeat of the allied forces reached the Grassland, all the tribes were already disheartened. The war had almost squeezed out all the tribes' combat potential. It was impossible to organize an army again.
Before they could come up with any ideas, the Second Division had already launched a powerful attack.
This was what it meant to be meat on the chopping block.
The nobles of the tribes could only obediently submit. Otherwise, only death awaited them.
The last one was the arrangements for the North Sea Fleet.
In the battle of Lian Province, the North Sea Fleet was a solid bystander. They basically had no chance to participate.
After the war, the fleet would escort the second batch of immigrants to Cliff Province.
The second batch of immigrants were mostly craftsmen, especially stonemasons, masons, and carpenters. In addition, the fleet also carried a large amount of food and vegetables that could be stored for a long time.
Bai Qi had asked Ouyang Shuo if he should arrange for a large army to go with the fleet to support Cliff Province.
Ouyang Shuo thought about it and rejected the arrangement. He had a comprehensive plan for the army. He had to wait until he returned to Shanhai City before making a unified arrangement.
Other than military affairs, Ouyang Shuo also had arrangements for the political map of Lian Province after the war.
Duanren Manor was established, and Duanren County was renamed Duanren City. Yi and Gushan Counties would be included in Duanren Manor's jurisdiction.
Subsequently, Ouyang Shuo announced two personnel appointments: Yi Shui County Magistrate Zhou Haichen would be transferred to Duanren Manor; Zhao Dewang would replace Zhou Haichen as Yi Shui County Magistrate.
Without waiting for Ouyang Shuo's appointment, both of them immediately took up their posts.
In front of Zhou Haichen was a mess. He needed to appease the people, restore production, and plan the next step of Duanren Manor's development in a short period of time.
Taking charge of Duanren Manor was a comprehensive test of Zhou Haichen's ability. Zhou Haichen's performance in Duanren Manor would determine whether he could take another step forward in the territory's future.
The construction of Tianfeng City's walls was nearing completion, and Zhao Dewang's contribution was the greatest. Ouyang Shuo would not mistreat this former subordinate, placing him in Yi Shui County with great potential.
Limited by his qualifications and experience, Zhao Dewang's official career would end here.
As for the plans for the Prairie, they would have to wait for Ouyang Shuo's return.
Just like that, Ouyang Shuo, through Mulan Lanyue's words, basically arranged the military and political affairs of Lian Province after the war. The rest would be carried out by the four Bureaus.
After the arrangements were made, Ouyang Shuo's gaze returned to the Cliff Province. (To be continued.)
