Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，边关告急，敌军来犯。边关守将李将军，原本骁勇善战，麾下兵士个个忠心耿耿。然而，一场突如其来的瘟疫，夺去了许多士兵的生命，也带走了他们的亲人朋友。伤痛与恐惧弥漫在军营中，士兵们开始变得消极怠工，人心涣散。李将军深感事态严重，他下令加强军中管理，严厉打击各种违纪行为，并亲自带头，以身作则，每天都巡视军营，了解士兵们的状况。他还鼓励士兵们互相帮助，互相支持，并给他们讲述一些爱国主义故事和英雄事迹，以振奋他们的士气。与此同时，后方也加大了对边关的支援力度，不仅送来了大量的药品和粮食，还派来了许多医护人员。在李将军的努力和后方的支持下，边关士兵逐渐恢复了信心，人心重新凝聚起来，最终取得了抗敌战争的胜利。

During the Tang Dynasty in China, a hostile attack threatened the border region. General Li, known for his bravery and loyal troops, was struck by a sudden illness that claimed the lives of many soldiers and took their friends and families. Suffering and fear spread through the camp, and the soldiers became passive and unmotivated. General Li recognized the serious situation and ordered stricter discipline, combating offenses and personally inspecting the camp and caring for the soldiers. He encouraged them to help and support each other and told them patriotic stories and heroic deeds to boost their morale. At the same time, the rear supported the border region with medicine and food and dispatched doctors and nurses. Through General Li's efforts and the support of the rear region, the soldiers regained their self-confidence, their morale was restored, and they were able to defeat the enemy.
