After Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, found out, he asked the Xianbei people to leave the 8,000 girls, and the Xianbei people couldn't eat them for a while, and they didn't want to let them go, so they drowned all the 8,000 girls in Yishui.
The Qiang people are more cruel than them, and history says that they never bring dry food when they march and fight, and they specially capture Han women for military food, rape at night, and slaughter and cook during the day.
