There is Guan Yu in the east and Xuan Nv in the west, and the cock crows at dawn. Whoever builds the city first will have jurisdiction over Jingzhou. Xuan Nv relied on the fairy method and was careless. Guan Yu mobilized the city guards to build a city with reed mats instead of mud, which was soon built, and told the sergeant to learn from crows. Xuan Nv saw that the tide was over and ran.
