Why do the older generation say that the old town of Pingxiang County in Xingtai is a turtle?

Pingxiang, which belongs to Xingtai City, Hebei Province, covers an area of 406 square kilometers, governs 3 towns and 4 townships, and has a total population of 320,000. Nanhe County in the west, Guangzong County in the east, Julu County in the north and Handan City in the south. Xing-Huang Railway Transfer Station; Donglu Expressway runs through the east and west, and Xingqing and Ding Wei provincial highways run through the north and south.

According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang drove Liu Xiu off his horse and fell into a big and smelly puddle. There lived a restless bastard who often went to the village to steal oil and drink, disturbing the people. The bastard was frightened and pushed Liu Xiu to the edge of the pit. Liu Xiu thinks that the tortoise essence deliberately got him into the puddle. Without saying anything, he drew his sword and cut off the turtle's head. This shows that Wei Liu has made great contributions. After Liu acceded to the throne, he hit the capital in one fell swoop, forcing follwed to death in Bai Mangtai. People say that cutting turtle essence is killing thief Wang Mang, so they renamed this village turtle city. Later, they thought the name was not nice, so they changed it to Guchengdian Village. To this day, the local people are used to calling this village "Turtle City". Many people think that it is called the city of follwed, where follwed ascended the throne, but it is not true.

The answer is for reference only, don't be blind and superstitious.
