Shen Hao had been busy these days, first repeatedly analyzing the orders sent from the Thousand Households Station together with Tang Qingyuan. At the same time, he was reorganizing the Black Banner Battalion—only after everything was set in order did he gradually reopen their station. In addition, the dungeon needed rebuilding, and he took the time to go to Jiugong Mountain to settle the brothers who had died in the attack.
Afterwards, the Black Banner Battalion still needed new recruits. This time Shen Hao entrusted the matter to Zhang Liao, principally selecting from among the garrison soldiers and Xuanqing Guard soldiers, trying as much as possible not to transfer personnel from other General Flag units.
This resulted in the Black Banner Battalion becoming a fast track for promotion at the lowest levels of Xuanqing Guard, but in the eyes of those from other General Flag units, it was still not well regarded.
