The Bian River was an artificial canal excavated by the Qian State in bygone days, a feat achieved at an immense cost of manpower and resources. Officially, its purpose was canal construction, but considering the Qian State was then under the most formidable military pressure from the Yan State, the true objective behind digging this waterway was self-evident.
During its initial excavation, the canal's banks burst and its course changed several times, bringing multiple disasters upon the nearby populace. Over the years, however, the canal had become far more stable. Coupled with its strategic proximity to the imperial capital, it also flourished into a bustling commercial and transportation artery.
