Fenghuang County was under the jurisdiction of Yaozhou Prefecture and was located at the junction of Yaozhou and the Liuzhao tribe. Due to the shortage of officials in the southwest, the county magistrate not only managed the administrative affairs of the town, but also served as the commander of the garrison in Fenghuang Town and was responsible for investigating the situations of the various tribes.
