Wang Li was the grandson of the famous Qin Dynasty general Wang Qian, who was recruited by Caiyun Zhinan after the Battle of Julu.
Caiyun City surrendered, not only sent Zhang Liang, but also took the military general Wang Li, just rushed to this point, if Caiyun Zhinan did not die in the future, Ouyang Shuo could consider sparing him once.

Demoted to General Wei Yan, served as the commander of the Fifth Army of the Eagle Yang Army.
[Name]: Wei Yan (Wang level)
[Dynasty]: Three Kingdoms (Shu Han)
[Identity]: Commander of the Fifth Legion of the Great Xia Eagle Yang Army
[Profession]: Senior general
[Loyalty]: 68 points
[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 75 [Intelligence]: 45 [Politics]: 35
[Perk]: Brave (Increases troops' attack power by 20% and marching speed by 15%). )
[Exercises]: omitted
[Equipment]: Long knife
[Evaluation]: Yan is not only good at raising soldiers, brave and brave, but also has a high temperament, and he was avoided at that time. With courage and strategy, and salty and precious. Look at its measures, follow its rules, and take the blame, all of them themselves.
Wei Yan in history was too conceited, hated his talents, and was finally killed, which also had a hint of self-inflicted blame. This time, he was defeated by Laihuer and became a prisoner, and he was still quite dissatisfied.
Therefore, Wei Yan's loyalty is also the lowest among several Guishun generals.
…………
The Eagle Yang Army is dominated by new faces, while the City Guards are all promoted by old generals of the dynasty.
Ma Teng, the commander of the 1st Division of the 3rd Army of the Praetorian Guard, was promoted to the commander of the 3rd Army of the City Guard. Bai Lishi, the commander of the first division of the Fifth Army of the Tiger Ben Army, was promoted to the commander of the Fourth Army of the City Guard Army.
Ma Teng's promotion heralded the all-round rise of the generals of the Three Kingdoms in the Great Xia Army. Only the post of corps commander included Ma Chao, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Zhang Liao, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Wei Yan and Zhang He.
Counting Zhou Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, the two admirals of the water division, a total of eleven people, it is really remarkable.
With this round of military generals adjusted in place, all the historical generals in the Great Xia Army who could handle them were promoted to the position of corps commander, and the reserves of generals accumulated before were really completely depleted this time.
It was for this reason that the last commander of the City Guard was a bit special.
Lin Yi, commander of the Second Division of the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard, was promoted to the commander of the Fifth Army of the City Guard. Lin Yi also became the first military general to serve as the commander of the corps among the aboriginal generals.
Fortunately, Lin Yi has already been promoted to a king-level general, so he will not cause criticism.
Like Lin Yi, Zhao Sihu, Lei Jingtian, Shi Hu, Shanzhu, Guo Liang, Shaobu, Jiang Kai, Dai Qin, Sun Tengjiao, Sun Chuanlin, Liao Kai, Heiqi and other aboriginal generals have also been promoted to king-level generals one by one.
This group of military generals who have grown up with the territory have become the most loyal and reliable reserve generals of the Great Xia Army.
…………
In view of the earth-shaking changes in the borders of the dynasty, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity of adjusting the troops, and after consulting with the Privy Council, Ouyang Shuo made some adjustments to the defense areas of each group army.
In the east, the main threat to the dynasty is the Overlord City, which is still garrisoned by the Tiger Ben Army led by Sun Bin. The difference is that after the dynasty took the southern Hunan province, the threat to the north of the Lingnan province was immediately lifted, and the tiger army would fully withdraw from the southern Hunan province, and the five major army corps were all stationed in the southern Fujian province.
As a result, the pressure on Overlord City has increased.
In addition to this, the Tiger Ben Army also had the duty of monitoring the Great Sui Dynasty. Although the current Da Sui looks like a harmless sick cat, he is still a tiger after all, with millions of soldiers, and he has to guard against it.
In the north, the Leopard Tao army led by Han Xin traveled all the way north from the southern Sichuan province and was stationed in the northern part of the southern Hunan province, responsible for monitoring every move of Danyang City.
In the west, the Yingyang army led by Li Mu was stationed in Shu, one was to monitor the Shu Han Dynasty, and the other was to monitor the Fallen Leaf City. As for the Longxiang army, which is currently staying in Shudi, it will be withdrawn to Yunnan Province.
Like the Tiger Army, the Long Xiang Army also had the duty of monitoring the Dali court.
This arrangement is quite meaningful.
The Shu Han Dynasty and the Fallen Leaf City were only a short-term threat to Shu, and the real big trouble in the future was still in Tibet in the west, Western Xia in the north, and even Mongolia further north.
Li Mu had fought against the Xiongnu for a long time and had rich experience, so he was more suitable for being stationed in Shu than Bai Qi.
The Long Xiang army led by Bai Qi withdrew to Yunnan Province, which seemed to be idle, but in fact, south of Yunnan Province, across the national border, were ASEAN countries.
Ouyang Shuo laid the groundwork in advance, preparing to let Bai Qi, the god of killing, mainly go on an expedition to ASEAN in the future, so that the name of the god of killing will truly resound all over the world.
In addition to the four major group armies, the defense areas of the city guard army have also been adjusted.
Since the city guards have reached full strength, it is impossible to be stationed in the Lianzhou Basin, which is too wasteful. Each of the five legions of the City Guard has its own defense zone.
The First Army of the City Guard, sitting in the camp in the west of the city outside Shanhai City; The Second Army of the City Guards, that is, Mu Guiying's Army, still guarded the Mulan Fortress and guarded the pass north of the capital.
The Third Army of the City Guard Army, that is, the Ma Teng Army, took over the defense task of the Fifth Army of the original Leopard Tao Army, stationed in Tianjing City, Xunzhou County, and defended the satellite city of Great Xia.
The Fourth Army of the City Guard, that is, the Bailishi Army, moved to Beihai City and guarded the south gate of the capital. The Fifth Army of the City Guard, the Lin Yi Legion, sits in the eastern camp of the city outside Shanhai City.
In this way, the city guards guard Shanhai City impenetrably, and it really lives up to the name of "city guards".
…………
After the army readjusted its defense areas, it was inevitable that it would have to rebuild a series of military structures such as fortresses, pillboxes, lookouts, and outposts on the border, so as to truly establish a solid border defense line.
Unlike the previous ones, the defense line built this time was a little more high-tech, in addition to the routine fortifications, a large number of artillery batteries had to be built, with P1 guns as the main defensive weapon.
Because of the high cost and defensive focus, this form of defense line was mainly planned on the narrow border between the northern province of Xinjiang and the city of Handan.
As for the northern, eastern, and western borders, Great Xia already held the initiative in the war, so there was no need to spend so much money to build a useless "Maginot Line".
The exception is that, according to Ouyang Shuo's plan, the War Readiness Administration will build a special military defense line in Shudi, targeting the Shu Han Dynasty, which is already on the same page as Great Xia.
The Shu Han Dynasty is now in a state of "isolation", but Ouyang Shuo wants to solidify this isolation, he plans to build bunkers and erect artillery on the mountainsides around Chengdu County, so that Chengdu County will be completely blocked, so that the Shu Han Janissaries will not be able to get out of the basin where Chengdu County is located.
Although this plan took a long time and cost a lot of money, Ouyang Shuo still felt that it was worth it.
If you want to take a royal city with millions of troops, attacking it is undoubtedly the next policy, and the gains outweigh the losses, only to trap it to death and let it surrender on its own initiative is the best policy.
The whole Chengdu County is a large basin, and the natural geographical characteristics ensure the smooth implementation of the "Trapped Dragon" plan. Both Quanzhou and Dali are located in relatively open areas, which makes it difficult to implement similar plans.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo has also instructed the War Readiness Department to cooperate with the Long Xiang Army and the Tiger Ben Army to build some hidden defense and early warning fortifications on the periphery of Dali County and Quanzhou County.
Not to block the dynasty army, but only to play an early warning role.
…………
The appointment of military generals, the adjustment of defense areas, and the planning of defense lines are all the focus of this round of army reorganization, in addition, Ouyang Shuo also took this opportunity to carry out a partial reshaping of the whole army.
The focus of the reinvention is on firearms.
After several wars, the role of firearms on the battlefield became more and more prominent, and they became the "stars" of the battlefield.
With this objective condition, Ouyang Shuo ordered the Privy Council to gradually equip each field corps with a musket brigade directly under the corps and a special artillery unit from now on.
At the same time, at the level of the group army, each of the four major group armies of Longxiang, Huben, Baotao, and Yingyang will be equipped with a flying squadron to play the role of early warning, reconnaissance, and strategic bombing.
Ouyang Shuo did this with two intentions.
First, to eliminate the illiteracy of the generals of Great Xia and popularize the common sense of the use of firearms, so that the generals, at least the generals at the level of corps commanders, are deeply aware of the subversive changes brought by firearms to the army.
It is even said that Ouyang Shuo has already had a detailed discussion with Sun Wu, the principal of the Army's Martial Arts Hall, and has even spent a lot of money to hire military experts in reality to set up a course on hot weapons warfare in the Army's Martial Arts Hall.
In order to let the dynasty generals keep pace with the times and focus on the future.
In the future, whether in the game or when it arrives on the Planet of Hope, cold weapon warfare will not be the mainstream, and the real war masters must be thermal weapons, or even more advanced energy weapons.
Although the current firearms are far from being able to replace cold weapons, Ouyang Shuo must take precautions.
Of course, the era of thermal weapons does not mean that the personal bravery of the generals is useless, for example, when they arrive at the Planet of Hope in the future, the combination of the generals and the mecha will collide with extraordinary sparks.
At no time will individual force be completely replaced by weaponry.
Second, give the Great Xia Army a chance to train its troops.
In order to command a firearms unit, in addition to going to the army lecture hall for further study, the generals must also have actual combat experience, and experience often takes time to accumulate.
Great Xia is now deploying musket brigades and artillery units at the corps level, which is to give the legion commanders a chance to train their troops and let them apply what they have learned.
When the time is right, this configuration will sink further down to the divisional and even brigade level.
