Origin Story

话说汉献帝建安五年,曹操率军攻打袁绍的粮仓乌巢。袁绍采纳了郭图的计策,企图偷袭曹操的大本营,结果兵败如山倒。郭图为了推卸责任,便诬陷张郃在军中出言不逊,败坏军心。张郃忍无可忍,最终投奔了曹操,成为曹操统一北方的重要将领。这个故事说明,在任何时候,都应该谨慎言行,切勿出言不逊,以免给自己带来不必要的麻烦。

In the fifth year of Jian'an under Emperor Han Xiandi, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Yuan Shao's granary, Wuchao. Yuan Shao adopted Guo Tu's strategy and attempted to secretly attack Cao Cao's main camp, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat. To evade responsibility, Guo Tu falsely accused Zhang He of being disrespectful in the army and undermining troop morale. Zhang He, unable to bear it any longer, eventually defected to Cao Cao and became a key figure in Cao Cao's unification of the north. This story illustrates that one should always be cautious in words and deeds and avoid being disrespectful, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
