Origin Story
话说东汉末年，群雄逐鹿，天下大乱。曹操挟天子以令诸侯，势力日益壮大，先后击败了众多诸侯，成为北方的霸主。他率领大军南下，准备一统天下，势不可挡！消息传到江南，孙权和刘备都如临大敌。孙刘联军在赤壁之战中，凭借天时地利人和，以火攻之计大败曹操。曹军精锐损失惨重，曹操只得退兵北还。虽然赤壁之战最终遏制了曹操统一天下的步伐，但曹操雄才大略，雄霸北方，其势力之盛，一时之间也无人能敌，可见其势力之强，确实曾达到过“势不可挡”的地步。
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords vied for power, plunging the land into chaos. Cao Cao, manipulating the emperor, gradually expanded his influence, defeating numerous rivals and establishing himself as the dominant power in the north. His southward campaign to unify the empire seemed unstoppable. Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south braced for the inevitable. However, in the Battle of Red Cliffs, a brilliant naval engagement using fire attacks, Sun Quan and Liu Bei’s combined forces decisively defeated Cao Cao’s army. Cao Cao’s elite troops suffered devastating losses, forcing him to retreat. While the Battle of Red Cliffs temporarily checked Cao Cao's ambition, his immense strength in the north remained a force to be reckoned with, showcasing the truly unstoppable nature of his power at the time.
