As Li Shoujie surrendered to the imperial army under the Shangdang City, the officials and generals of Liaozhou and other prefectures and counties that were originally under the jurisdiction of the Zhaoyi Army also took the initiative to surrender their sincerity to the army, showing their determination to stand on the same front as the imperial court. Now that Li Yun is dead, the first evil has been eliminated, and the states and counties of the Zhaoyi Army have returned to the rule of the imperial court, and the task of conquering Li Yun's rebellion has been successfully completed. Therefore, as the party representing the imperial court, Tang Chao, Wang Feng and others naturally did not kill Li Shoujie and all the civil and military officials of the Zhaoyi Army who surrendered, but according to the plan set before the expedition, not only pardoned the guilt of these "slave" officials, but also appointed them to new official positions, so that they could serve the imperial court with peace of mind. Of course, as the so-called accomplices who had directly or indirectly, voluntarily or forcedly participated in Li Yun's rebellion, it was impossible for the principal officials of the former Zhaoyi Army who served in Jiedu Prefecture and branch counties to be left in the prefectures and counties to which the former Zhaoyi Army belonged. As a result, Li Shoujie, the commander of the Zhaoyi Army, became the training envoy of the Shanzhou Regiment, and the deputy envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, Zhao Chuyuan, was moved to the Yingzhou Assassin History, and the Jiedu judge Sun Fu was transferred to the imperial court to serve as Tuntian Langzhong, and the observation judge Shi Wentong was also transferred to the Shuibu Langzhong, and the former Liaozhou Ya Nei commander Ma Tingyu was crowned the general of the right prison guard, leading the Bizhou Assassin History, and became an idle official. At the same time as appointing these old Zhaoyi Army to new official positions, the Later Zhou Dynasty also issued an order to abolish the Zhaoyi Army, and all the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the imperial court sent liuguan to participate in the governance. In addition, in order to appease Li Shoujie and other civil and military officials of the former Zhaoyi Army, after the situation in Shangdang City was basically stabilized, Tang Chao not only returned the bodies of all the former Zhaoyi Army Jiedu Mansion soldiers who died in the "suicidal" camp robbery to their families, but also returned Li Yun's body to Li Shoujie and gave him a generous burial under the auspices of Tang Chao, so as to demonstrate the benevolence and generosity of the imperial court.

Although Li Yun's rebellion has been quelled, the drama of the change of garrisons in Xuanda and Taiyuan towns used as a cover still needs to be continued. The reason why this is the case, on the one hand, is because if the change of guard is suspended at this time and the soldiers and horses involved in the counterinsurgency are withdrawn to Kaifeng, it will leave the world with the purpose of the imperial court's dispatch of troops is to sweep away the Zhaoyi army and kill Li Yun. As a result, everyone has the feeling that the imperial court is "fishing for law enforcement" and deliberately forcing Li Yun to rebel, so that he can send troops to Luzhou openly and take the opportunity to cut the domain. On the other hand, it is also for the purpose of taking turns to train troops, so that the Second Synthetic Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army" and other technical detachments that have been stationed in various important places of the Beiping Army can have the opportunity to participate in more operations and accumulate more military merits, so as to avoid the imbalance in the number of military achievements caused by the uneven opportunities for officers and men to participate in the war, and then cause complaints and dissatisfaction among those officers and soldiers who have fewer opportunities to participate in the war and cannot accumulate military merits - although the Second Synthetic Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army" has participated in military operations such as the pacification and annihilation of the Northern Han Dynasty and the "Overlord Operation". In the last three or four years, except for cooperating with small groups such as the "Ranger Battalion" and the "Wolf Tooth Battalion" to carry out small-scale attacks on the Khitan, he has never participated in major operations. Therefore, Liu Xiaoliu, as the commander of the Second Synthetic Infantry Division, has taken the initiative to ask several commanders of the Beiping Army to fight more than once, and through them, he has expressed his desire to participate in the war to Wang Kunjun, Xu Shaoan, and other top military commanders of the Beiping Army. Although Liu Xiaoliu was the only one who directly expressed his desire to participate in the battle to the crossing team, he represented the entire Second Composite Infantry Division. Therefore, whether it is several chief military officers or members of the committee and the military department, such as Wang Kunjun and Xu Shaoan, they have to consider and attach importance to the request of the Second Composite Infantry Division for war.

However, according to the arrangement of the troop deployment of the crossing team, it was the Fourth Composite Infantry Division that actually switched defenses with the Second Composite Infantry Division stationed in the three towns of Ningjin, Xuanda, and Taiyuan. As for the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Composite Infantry Division and some of the artillery and cavalry detachments stationed in Pinglu Town, they exchanged guards with the 2nd Regiment of the division and the artillery and cavalry detachments of the division, instead of the main force of the "Flying Dragon Army" in the Shangdang Battle. It is precisely because of this arrangement that from the end of the battle of Shangdang to the completion of the change of guard of all the garrisons in the four towns of the Beiping Army, it lasted for nearly a month, and it was not finally completed until the end of April of the third lunar calendar of Jianlong. And with the end of the Beiping Army's four towns to change the guard, the crossing team can finally focus on the actual purpose of launching the battle of the Shangdang - to cut the feudal domain.

Although it was not an easy task to cut down the feudal domain in previous dynasties, many times it was accompanied by bloodshed, wars, and even some dynasties caused turmoil in the court and even the overthrow of the regime because of improper measures to reduce the feudal domain. But with its own strong strength and the huge deterrent power of the battle of Shangdang, the action of cutting and seizing power promoted by the Zhou court in the name of the Zhou court after crossing the team was carried out relatively smoothly step by step.

Among them, as the first step in cutting down the feudal domain, two months after the end of the battle of Shangdang and one month after the end of the change of defense in the towns of the Beiping Army, the Later Zhou court issued an edict, announcing that in view of the recent history of the assassination of many prefectures, the imperial court would impeach and sue the envoys of the Jiedu to which they belonged were to expropriate tyranny, commit lawlessness, and interfere in local government affairs in the state, and it was verified that it was correct. Therefore, from now on, all Jiedu feudal towns will no longer be in charge of branch counties except for their own prefectures and counties, and all branches and counties will be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Although the abolition of the branch counties was tantamount to cutting off the right hand of the feudal towns in various places, it greatly weakened the strength and authority of the envoys in terms of personnel, finance, and materials, and shook the foundation of their government, military, and finance, thus greatly reducing their potential for confrontation with the imperial court. But after all, this is only to weaken the strength of the local feudal towns, not to uproot them, let alone to kill them. Especially as soon as the decree was issued, Wang Kunjun, the envoy of the Beiping Army, which had the largest jurisdiction area and the largest number of sub-counties, announced that the rest of the prefectures except for the Beiping Prefecture would be separated from the Beiping Army and handed over to the direct management of the imperial court, and he would no longer interfere in any affairs of these prefectures. Although the Beiping Military Festival Envoy has long become an honorary title for Wang Kunjun, who is now in the center and controls the entire Later Zhou Dynasty government, the current military and political affairs of the Beiping Army have long been handled by the six prefectures, and its structure and operation mode are completely different from the previous conventional local feudal towns, Wang Kunjun is only making a gesture to show his support for the imperial court's policy. However, it was precisely this gesture and expression of him, the envoy of the first section of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that made him and the Later Zhou court stand on the moral high ground, and also made the decision of other feudal towns to suppress, prevaricate, and perfunctory the court no matter what reason they had, and they would be condemned by public opinion and become the target of public opinion. Therefore, although he was reluctant in his heart, in order not to quarrel with the imperial court, he gave the imperial court a handle, and the feudal towns in various places still pinched his nose and admitted it, and handed over the jurisdiction of the sub-counties under his jurisdiction.
