7th month, 25th day, Great Xia released a series of general appointments.
Northwest warzone commander great general Li Jing would step down from his position as Bear legion corps marshal. The position would be taken up by Hedong legion corps marshal Zuo Zongtang. Great Tang general Hou Junji would take over as marshal of the Hedong legion corps.
The war of Tibet that was about to begin would be led by the northwest warzone. To reduce the burden on Li Jing and to allow him to focus on this war, the Imperial Court decided to release him from his role as Bear legion corps marshal.
