An Analysis of the Finale in the Snow

Answer 1

The ending of "The Vicious Blade in the Snow" mainly involved Liyang, Beiliang, Beimang, and Jianghu.

* * 1. Li Yang's Ending **
1. * * The change and turmoil of the throne **
- During the Spring and Autumn Period, Liyang unified the world. During Zhao Chun's period, Xu Xiao and Zhang Julu were able to stabilize the situation. After Zhao Kai's death, Zhao Zhuan should have ascended the throne, but the situation was unstable after Xu Xiao's death. Zhao Chun executed Zhang Julu in order to protect Zhao Zhuan's throne. After Zhao Zhuan ascended the throne, he executed Yuan Benxi. Although Qi Yanglong was invited, Liyang still declined.
- Liyang had experienced three major battles. During the Battle of Liangmang, Liyang and Gu Jiantang did not send troops, and Zhao Zhuan's attempt to suppress the water transport of Beiliang failed. Many generals died in the battle of Guangling Road in the West Chu. Zhao Zhuan could not use the West Chu rebellion to cut down the vassal states, and the King of Yan saved his strength to suppress Great Peace City.
- During the siege of Tai 'an City, Yuan Tingshan, Song Li, and Qi Shence betrayed Liyang and defected to the southern border. Zhao Sui and Lu Shengxiang, the kings of Jiaodong, died in battle. Xu Gong opened the city and surrendered. Zhao Zhuan took the national seal and surrendered. Later, he and Yan Dongwu went to Beiliang to become private teachers.
2. * * New dynasty established **
- Southern Border's Prince Zhao Zhu became the new Emperor of Liyang, the old man of the Imperial Prince of Yan became the founding Marquis, and Yuan Tingshan and the others became the new nobles. Old ministers such as Chen Wang were put in an important position, Zhang Julu's daughter became the queen, and Zhang Julu was finally vindicated. Yang Shenxing handed over the control of the five states of Beiliang to Chen Xiliang and returned to seclusion safely. His son Yang Huchen broke through Beimang and entered the Ministry of War and called himself a cool party.

* * 2. Ending in Northern Liang **
1. * * Great Battle of Liangmang **
- After Xu Xiao's death, Xu Fengnian took over as the Prince of Beiliang and the Great War of Liang Mang broke out. Although Northern Liang won, they paid a heavy price. Many generals died in battle, such as Liu Jinu of Tiger Head City and Qi Dangguo of Tie Futu. Several armies were almost destroyed, and only the Snow Dragon Cavalry remained.
- At the end of the Second Battle of Liang Mang, the Northern Mang Empress ordered the invasion of Dunhuang City. The original Northern Liang Cavalry General Xu Pu died in battle. The City Lord, Sweet Potato, was missing. Xu Fengnian found his daughter.
2. * * Xu Fengnian Ending **
- After the unification of the world, Xu Fengnian's achievements shocked the Lord. When he went to Liyang, he was coldly treated. Later, he was picked up by Nangong Pushe. In the end, he gave up on the Prince of Beiliang and took Jiang Ni, Nangong Pushe, and the others to live in seclusion. The people of Beiliang also separated. Civil officials such as Li Gongde moved to Liyang, and generals such as Kou Jianghuai moved to Liyang.

3. The End of the Northern Mang
- In the Great Battle of Liang Mang, Beimang failed to take down the North City and was forced into the Northern Mang Royal Court by the generals of Beiliang. The central city of the Southern Dynasty, Xijing, was also taken down.

* * 4. Jianghu Ending **
- Wen Hua broke his own leg and arm for his brother Xu Fengnian, and from then on, he broke his sword and left the martial world. Wudang's Hongxi Elephant Soldiers sent Red Shirt away just to take her around the world. The story ended in a way that echoed the opening words "Waiter, serve the wine", showing the aftertaste of the Jianghu after the fate of many characters was settled.
