Surrendered General Wang Li will be the commander of the fourth legion of the Soaring Eagle Army.
[Name]: Wang Li (Regent Level)
[Dynasty]: Qin Dynasty
[Identity]: Commander of the fourth legion of the Soaring Eagle Army
[Occupation]: Advanced General
[Loyalty]: 75
[Commander]: 70 [Martial Power]: 72 [Intelligence]: 55 [Politics]: 55

[Technique]: Omitted
[Equipment]: Qin Jian
[Evaluation]: Wang Li, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Li was the grandson of the famous general of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian. After the Battle of Julu, he was recruited by the South of Rosy Clouds.
Rosy Cloud City surrendered. Not only did they send Sage Strategist Zhang Liang, but they also lost General Wang Li. Based on this, Ouyang Shuo could consider sparing them if they didn't court disaster in the future.

Surrendered General Wei Yan will be the commander of the fifth legion of the Soaring Eagle Army.
[Name]: Wei Yan (Regent Level)
[Dynasty]: Three Kingdoms (Shu Han)
[Identity]: Commander of the fifth legion of the Soaring Eagle Army
[Occupation]: Advanced General
[Loyalty]: 68
[Commander]: 70 [Martial Power]: 75 [Intelligence]: 45 [Politics]: 35
[Specialty]: Courageous (Increases troops' attack power by 20, increases marching speed by 15.)
[Technique]: Omitted
[Equipment]: Long sword
[Evaluation]: Wei Yan is good at nurturing his soldiers, courageous, and arrogant. Everyone avoided him at that time. He is courageous, strategic, and valuable. Looking at his actions and following the rules, he invites trouble and deserves blame.
In history, Wei Yan was too conceited and hated himself for his talent. Eventually, he was killed, and he had only himself to blame. He was defeated by Lai Hu 'er and became a captive, so he was quite dissatisfied.
As a result, Wei Yan's loyalty was the lowest among the generals who had pledged allegiance to him.
…
The Soaring Eagle Army was mainly made up of new faces, while the city guards were all promoted by the old generals of the dynasty.
Ma Teng, the commander of the first division of the third legion of the imperial guards, was promoted to the commander of the third legion of the city guards. Baili Shi, the commander of the first division of the fifth legion of the Brave Tiger Army, was promoted to the commander of the fourth legion of the city guards.
Ma Teng's promotion heralded the rise of the generals of the three kingdoms in the Great Xia army. Among the commanders, there were Ma Chao, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Zhang Liao, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Wei Yan, and Zhang He.
Including Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, there were eleven of them in total. It was an impressive feat.
Following this round of adjustments to the generals, all of the historical generals in the Great Xia army that were capable were promoted to the position of legion commander. The reserve of generals that had been accumulated previously was completely depleted this time around.
Because of this, the last commander of the city guards was a little special.
Lin Yi, the commander of the second division of the city guards, was promoted to the commander of the fifth division of the city guards. Lin Yi, too, became the first native warrior to take on the role of a commander.
It was a good thing that Lin Yi had become a king class general a long time ago, so he wouldn't attract any criticism.
Just like Lin Yi, Zhao Sihu, Lei Jingtian, Shi Hu, Shan Zhu, Guo Liang, Shao Bu, Jiang Kai, Dai Qin, Sun Tengjiao, Sun Chuanlin, Liao Kai, and the Shadow Cavalry all became king class generals.
This batch of generals grew up with the territory and had already become the most loyal and reliable reserve generals of the Great Xia army.
… …
In view of the earth-shattering changes at the dynasty's borders, Ouyang Shuo consulted with the Privy Council and made some adjustments to the defensive areas of the various legions.
In the east, the dynasty's main threat was Overlord City, which was still garrisoned by Sun Bin's Stalwart Tiger Army. The only difference was that after the dynasty took over Xiangnan Province, the threat to the north of Lingnan Province was immediately eliminated. The Stalwart Tiger Army would withdraw from Lingnan Province, and the five major legions would be stationed in Minnan Province.
As a result, the pressure on Overlord City increased.
In addition, the Stalwart Tiger Army was also responsible for monitoring the Great Sui Dynasty. Although the Great Sui looked like a harmless and sick cat, it was still a tiger with millions of soldiers. They had to be guarded against it.
In the north, Han Xin's Leopard Army headed north from Chuannan Province and was stationed in the northern part of Xiangnan Province, responsible for monitoring Dan Yang City's every move.
In the west, Li Mu's Soaring Eagle Army was stationed in Shu to monitor both the Shu Han Dynasty and Luoye City. As for the Dragon Stalwart Army that was stationed in Shu, they would retreat to Yunnan Province.
Like the Stalwart Tiger Army, the Dragon Stalwart Army was also responsible for monitoring the Great Li court.
There was a deeper meaning to this arrangement.
The Shu Han Dynasty and Luoye City were only a short-term threat to Shu. In the future, the real trouble would come from Tubo in the west, Western Xia in the north, and even Mongolia in the north.
Li Mu had fought against the Xiongnu for a long time and had rich experience. Compared to Bai Qi, he was more suitable to be stationed in Shu.
The Dragon Stalwart Army led by Bai Qi had withdrawn to Yunnan Province. Although it seemed to be idle, it was actually to the south of Yunnan Province and across the border to the Southeast Asian countries.
Ouyang Shuo had laid the groundwork for Bai Qi, the God of Slaughter, to make the future expedition to the Southeast Asian countries his main focus, so that the name of the God of Slaughter would truly resound throughout the world.
In addition to the four major legions, the defensive areas of the city guards were also adjusted.
Since the city guards were already at full strength, it was impossible to station them all in Lianzhou Basin, which would be too wasteful. Each of the five legions of the city guards had their own defensive areas.
The first legion of the city guards was stationed at the western barracks outside Shanhai City. The second legion of the city guards, which was Mu Guiying's legion, was still stationed at Mulan Fortress and guarded the northern pass of the capital.
The third legion of the city guards, which was Ma Teng's legion, had taken over the task of defending the former fifth legion of the Leopard Army and was stationed at Tianjing City in Xunzhou Prefecture to protect the satellite cities of the Great Xia.
The fourth legion of the city guards, which was Baili Zhi's legion, moved to Beihai City and guarded the southern gate of the capital. The fifth legion of the city guards, which was Lin Yi's legion, was stationed at the eastern barracks outside Shanhai City.
In this way, the city guards' defense of Shanhai City was impenetrable, and they truly lived up to their name of "city guards".
… …
After the army adjusted their defensive areas, it was possible that they would have to build a series of military buildings such as forts, blockhouses, observation towers, and outposts to truly establish a solid border defense line.
What was different from before was that the construction of the defense line this time was more technologically advanced. Other than the routine fortifications, they would also have to build a large number of cannons with P1 cannons as the main defensive weapon.
Because of the high cost of building this type of defense line and the fact that it was mainly for defense, it was mainly planned on the narrow border between Beijiang Province and Handan City.
As for the northern, eastern, and western borders, the Great Xia already had the initiative in the war, so there was no need for them to build a useless "Maginot Defense Line" with such great fanfare.
The exception was that according to Ouyang Shuo's plan, the combat division would build a special military defense line in Shu, which was aimed at the Shu Han Dynasty that was already like fire and water with the Great Xia.
The Shu Han Dynasty was currently in a state of "isolation", but Ouyang Shuo wanted to solidify this isolation. He planned to build many blockhouses and cannons on the mountainsides around Chengdu Prefecture, completely sealing off Chengdu Prefecture so that the Shu Han Imperial Guards would not be able to leave the basin where Chengdu Prefecture was located.
Although this plan would take a long time and cost a lot of money, Ouyang Shuo still felt that it was worth it.
In order to take down a capital with a million soldiers, a forceful attack was undoubtedly the worst plan, and the gains would not make up for the losses. Only by trapping them and forcing them to surrender was the best plan.
The entire Chengdu Prefecture was a large basin, and its natural geographical features ensured the smooth implementation of the "Trapping Dragon" plan. Quanzhou and Dali were both located in relatively open areas, so it was inconvenient to implement a similar plan.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo had already ordered the combat division to cooperate with the Dragon Stallion Army and Stallion Army to build some hidden defensive and warning structures around Quanzhou Prefecture and Dali Prefecture.
It was not to block the Shu Han Dynasty's army, but to serve as a warning.
… …
Appointing generals, adjusting the defensive areas, and planning the defense lines were all the focus of this round of military reorganization. In addition, Ouyang Shuo also used this opportunity to remodel the entire army.
The focus of this remodel was on firearms.
After a few major battles, the role of firearms on the battlefield had become increasingly prominent, and they had become the "stars" of the battlefield. Moreover, the industrialization of the Shu Han Dynasty was on the right track, and the production of firearms was becoming more and more mature.
With these objective conditions in mind, Ouyang Shuo ordered the Bureau of Military Affairs to gradually equip each field corps with a firearm brigade and a specialized artillery unit.
At the same time, the Soaring Dragon Army, Stallion Army, Leopard Army, and Soaring Eagle Army were to each be equipped with an aerial squadron to serve as an early warning, reconnaissance, and tactical bombardment unit.
Ouyang Shuo had two reasons for doing this.
First, he wanted to eliminate the illiteracy of the Great Xia's generals and popularize the use of firearms. He wanted the generals, or at least the commanders, to deeply understand the subversive changes that firearms would bring to the army.
In fact, Ouyang Shuo had already had a detailed discussion with Sun Wu, the principal of the Military Force Lecture Hall, and had even spent a large sum of money to hire real-life military experts to teach the Military Force Lecture Hall how to use firearms.
This was so that the generals of the Shu Han Dynasty could keep up with the times and focus on the future.
In the future, whether in the game or on Planet Hope, cold weapons would no longer be the mainstream. The true masters of war would definitely be firearms, or even the more advanced energy weapons.
Although the current firearms were far from being able to replace cold weapons, Ouyang Shuo had to prepare for a rainy day.
Of course, the era of firearms didn't mean that the individual bravery of a general would be useless. For example, when they arrived on Planet Hope in the future, the combination of a general and a mecha would probably produce extraordinary sparks.
No matter when, an individual's martial strength would never be completely replaced by weapons and equipment.
Secondly, it was to give the Great Xia army a chance to train their soldiers.
Apart from studying at the Military Force Lecture Hall, the generals would also need to have actual combat experience on how to command a firearms unit. Experience often required time to accumulate.
Currently, Great Xia was equipped with a firearm brigade and an artillery unit at the corps level. This was to give the corps commanders a chance to train their soldiers and let them put what they had learned into practice.
When the time was right, this arrangement would be further lowered to the level of a division or even a brigade battalion.
