In October, the East, West, and Central Road Pingjie Army met in the Dianchi Lake. In order to appease the minority tribes of the South and Centrals, Zhuge Liang and the leader of the South Central Tribe headed by Moneto led a vow in the Dianchi Lake. According to the custom of local barbarians, the League vowed to cut 108 heads to sacrifice the gods, but Zhuge Liang escorted the leaders to prepare for sacrifice. He ordered the army to produce flour steamed cakes, and was specially sacrificed by human faces to replace the bloody people. He gave three gifts to various tribal leaders. One was the south and middle map drawn by him, and the other was the Ruijin iron coupon symbolizing power. And for the respected gods, the people of the south call it "Zhuge Drum".

Meng Cheng said that this is a magical and dead sergeant soul. Zhuge Liang felt that he was cruel to sacrifice his head, so he ordered the sergeant to make a noodle -like food, mixed with beef, sheep and other meats, and used the person to replace the person to commemorate the undead in the rebellion battle. After all the sacrifices were thrown into the river, the river immediately returned to peace, and the army crossed the river safely. Later, it was called "steamed buns".
