Having annihilated the opponent's main force, the remaining matters became much easier to handle.
Huang Lin first led his troops to recapture Handan and then dispatched soldiers in various directions to reclaim Zhao country's cities. At the same time, he expelled and suppressed the Barbarians rampaging in Ji Province and gathered the local Zhao common people.
It took a month, but the original territory of Ji State Zhao Country was finally stabilized.
During this period, a minor episode occurred.
After the fall of Zhao Country, not all of Ji Province had lost the power to resist; there were still some remnants of Zhao operatives resisting in the region.
Among these remnants, there was a force entrenched in the eastern part of Ji Province, controlling about two prefectures' worth of land, with thirty thousand troops at its command, led by an Innate General of Zhao Country.
