After the Xiliao raid on Xintunwei, Xiao Yeyang recuperated at home for a few days before resuming his inspections of the four garrisons.
Although Xinxi Town suffered heavy casualties, the raid also exposed weaknesses, leading Xiao Yeyang to learn from the experience and redefine the soldiers' training program.

It was not until the 20th of the twelfth lunar month that he returned to Ganzhou City, weary from travel.
Meanwhile, the spies Xiao Yeyang had planted in Xiliao also sent back their reports.
