After Huo Qubing's great victory, he feasted on the three armies in Konglong Gorge. After drinking, he stood on the peak of the gorge with beautiful scenery, drew his sword and stuck it in the peak stone, and looked at the fertile fields for thousands of miles, lamenting that the grass was boundless and the scenery was magnificent.
