During the Warring States period, the State of Qi and the State of Chu had a fierce battle. The Qi army was powerful, but the Chu army had high morale, and their troops were united and determined to defeat Qi. The Qi general Tian Ji, relying on his ingenious tactics, almost drove the Chu army to a desperate situation. However, the Chu soldiers remained united in the face of danger and did not hesitate for a moment. They knew that only unity could lead to victory. In the end, the Chu army, with their tenacious will, won the war. This war tells us that unity, the common goal from top to bottom, is the key to victory.
