At the end of 938, after eradicating the traitors Kieu Cong Tien in Dai La, Ngo Quyen pulled his army to the Bach Dang estuary to build a battle against the Southern Han invaders. He thoroughly took advantage of the complex terrain in this estuary to establish a large-scale naval battle, capable of burying hundreds of enemy ships.
He mobilized his army and people to cut wood, sharpen it, and plug it into a pile of piles at the mouth of the Bach Dang river. The Marines, with the participation of militia forces, arranged ambushes inside the pile yard, downstream of the river. A fleet of light boats under the command of Gia Vien’s young man, Ngo Tat To, who was good at swimming and familiar with rivers, was assigned the task of challenging wars, taking advantage of the high tide to lure the enemy to overcome the stakes and commit themselves. into my trap.

With the tradition of “drinking water, remember the source” and the blood-and-flesh bond of House – Village – Water, it was natural that Ngo Quyen became a god and god of the land of Bach Dang estuary.
