"It's snowing!"
Ouyang Shuo stood under the eaves and looked into the distance.
Lianzhou Basin was as warm as spring all year round, but snowflakes were falling from the sky, which was rare. The fluttering snowflakes decorated Shanhai City, making it look even more enchanting and enchanting.
To the people of Lianzhou, who had never seen snow since they were born, this snow was undoubtedly the best gift from God. It was the warmest New Year's gift in this winter.
The whole city fell into a fanaticism for snow.
The streets and alleys were filled with children having snowball fights. Even the adults could not help but join in the fun. At the corners, there were lifelike snowmen, which decorated Shanhai City in a unique way.
Not only Lianzhou Basin, but the entire China region was covered in snow.
The harsh climate of the wilderness, which had been condensed during the winter, finally reached its peak at this moment. The red clouds that had been drifting without dispersing had magically dispersed overnight, turning into a heavy snowfall.
The gorgeous red had turned into a clean white.
The heavy snowfall spread from the south to the north, getting heavier and thicker.
In the second year of Gaia, the bloodstains, broken limbs, and wreckage that had been left behind in the wilderness for an entire year were all covered by this sudden snowfall, no longer existing in the world.
As far as the eye could see, there was only endless whiteness left between heaven and earth.
The vast expanse of whiteness covered all the ugliness of the world.
The world seemed to have returned to peace and prosperity.
The entire wilderness stopped fighting at the same time, welcoming the arrival of the Lunar New Year.
Even the Central Plains, which had just been stirred up, regained its rare tranquility.
The cold winter, the irresistible cold, had officially arrived in the north.
Under the joint attack of Lord Chunshen, Di Chen, and Wandering Huan, Chen Sheng's Zhang Chu finally could not hold on and was beaten back.
The defeat of the southern army triggered the collapse of Zhang Chu's front line.
As the saying goes, 'pull one hair and the whole body moves'.
In just one week, Zhang Chu's territory had been lost.
In the later stages of the war, even the Phoenix Division, which had been observing from the sidelines, could not help but lead their troops to attack the weakened Zhang Chu.
No one had expected that a new regime in the wilderness would be so vulnerable.
If not for Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, personally leading his troops to Chen County at the last moment, Chen County would not have survived. It was likely that Chen Sheng would not even be able to protect his capital city. It would be destroyed along with his empire.
It was reported that Chen Sheng fell ill as soon as the battle ended.
In this cold winter, Zhang Chu was struggling at death's door.
In the end, the four Rebel Army Groups were unable to escape this calamity and fell under the blade of the Overlord players.
On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed when he heard the news.
Xiangyu's purpose of leading his troops to aid Chen County was not simple.
In the third year of Gaia, how would the Hegemon of Western Chu amaze the world?
Before the first wave subsided, another wave would rise.
Ouyang Shuo already had a premonition that a new king would soon stand tall in the Central Plains.
The losers of this great war in the Central Plains were certainly miserable, but the victors were not too happy either.
As soon as the battle ended, the four armies that had been working together were on guard against each other.
Everything was for profit.
After taking down the Central Plains Province, how to divide this tempting cake was a matter of great knowledge.
Logically speaking, Lord Chunshen had spent nearly two million in this war and should have been the biggest winner. Unfortunately, Lord Chunshen's Dan Yang City was too far away from the Central Plains Province. It was beyond his reach.
Moreover, whether it was Lord Chunshen's hundred thousand mercenaries or the fifty thousand elite soldiers summoned by scattering beans to form army talismans, they were all a thing of the past.
Lord Chunshen's troops did not have the advantage in terms of military strength after the war.
Instead, the Phoenix Division, which had been biding its time, became the strongest. If not for Di Chen and the others' resistance, Feng Qiuhuang would have become the biggest fisherman.
After all, Fallen Phoenix City was not far from the Central Plains Province.
In this cold winter, the four powers were destined to engage in a game and negotiation that was even more complicated and difficult than a war.
Population, resources, territory, surrendered soldiers, and everything else became the focus of the four powers.
In particular, population had become the focus of contention.
Whether it was Lord Chunshen, Di Chen, or even Piao Linghuan, their territories were too far away from the Central Plains Province. It was not possible for them to manage such an uncivilized land for a long time.
The only way was to completely evacuate the population of the Central Plains Province.
Population was forever the most precious resource in the wilderness.
Because they represented an unending stream of production power.
Previously, after Zhan Lang and Xiong Ba had joined forces to exterminate Huang Chao's army, they had adopted a similar "Three Lights" policy in Wannan Province.
Population, resources, and surrendered soldiers were all swept clean.
The huge Wannan Province had become a vacuum zone after this campaign. Nine out of ten houses were empty. The allied armies had just retreated, and the province was immediately filled with bandits. It returned to the original state of the wilderness.
Everything was back to square one.
… …
Unfortunately, the snow had sealed off the mountains and the roads were difficult.
Lord Chunshen and the others could only temporarily stop their operations and wait for the coming year.
The lords of the Central Plains would not be able to enjoy this new year in peace. No one knew what kind of changes would happen this winter.
Lord Chunshen must be feeling the most conflicted and unbearable at this time! He would never have thought that this snow would come so suddenly and fiercely.
In just one night, it had changed the color of heaven and earth and put on new clothes.
After paying two million gold coins, Lord Chunshen would definitely think of a way to recoup his costs and even generate profits.
In the end, Lord Chunshen was still a businessman.
What a businessman pursued was always profit.
Before the operation, the elites of Lord Chunshen's family had already carefully calculated. Even without Gaia's year-end bonus, if everything went smoothly, this battle would still be profitable.
It was just that a sudden heavy snowfall had disrupted their plans.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to postpone the conference of the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas] to give Feng Qiuhuang enough energy to deal with the aftermath of the war in the Central Plains.
Originally, Ouyang Shuo's plan was to choose the location of this year's conference at Fallen Phoenix City.
Unfortunately, this snow made the members not want to go to the North to spend the winter. Even Feng Qiuhuang wanted to escape from this damned winter.
Everyone discussed and discussed. In the end, they actually chose Cliff Mountain City as the location of the conference.
In the entire China region, at this time, only Cliff Mountain City had a pleasant climate.
In reality, it was a holiday destination for the Spring Festival. How could it be an undeserved reputation?
To be able to have a sunny beach party in this cold winter was undoubtedly extremely satisfying for the members of the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas].
