There is also a legend that the famous Battle of the Thirteen Wings was an important battle during the unification of various tribes of the Mongolian grasslands by Temujin (Genghis Khan). In the first year of the Jin Mingchang era (1190), Temujin's sworn brother Zamuhe joined forces with thirteen tribes including Taichiwu, totaling 30000 people, to attack Temujin due to his jealousy of Temujin's strength. After Temujin received the report, he gathered 30000 troops and formed a thirteen-winged (battalion) to face the enemy. In the great battle between the two sides, Temujin was defeated and trapped in a sandy mountain covered in the Haloxylon ammodendron forest, suffering from hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. Zamuhe cruelly divided the prisoners into seventy large pots and boiled them in public, infuriating the gods. The divine sent a divine horse, which leaped in front of Genghis Khan and roared up to the sky, shooting its essence and blood toward the roots of the shuttle tree. Then, it used its hooves to push out plant roots that resembled the genitalia of the divine horse, and Genghis Khan and his troops ate the roots. Divine power emerged, rushing down the sand mountain and defeating the Zhamuhe tribe in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the unification of Mongolia. From then on, Genghis Khan ushered in an era of conquering the Eurasian continent.

Another story is about Liu Gongfu, a famous historian of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Su Shi. Liu Gongfu invited Su Shi and other literati to drink. Su Shi's disciples had something to ask him to come home for, so Su stood up and bid farewell. Currently, Liu Gongfu is drinking happily and wants to persuade him to stay. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm here early and calm." Su Shi replied without hesitation, "But this matter must be settled." When the guests heard this answer, they praised the two for their exceptional intelligence and spoke in pairs. Originally, Liu Gongfu's sentence may seem like it's still early, so don't worry, but in reality, these six words contain three fruits and one traditional Chinese medicine, namely apricot, jujube, plum, and cistanche. The original meaning of the answer is that I have to go back and deal with this matter.
