Origin Story

话说三国时期，蜀汉丞相诸葛亮北伐曹魏，为了争取民心，他采取了仁义之师的策略，并没有对百姓大肆杀戮。然而，面对魏军在战场上的顽强抵抗，诸葛亮最终还是下令大张挞伐，与魏军展开了激烈的对战。战场上，刀光剑影，喊杀声震天动地，蜀军将士奋勇杀敌，魏军也毫不示弱，双方展开了一场旷日持久的拉锯战。最终，诸葛亮凭借其卓越的军事才能和蜀军的英勇作战，取得了战争的胜利，但他也因此付出了巨大的代价。这场战争，让诸葛亮深刻认识到，有时候，大张挞伐虽然能取得胜利，但也可能带来巨大的损失。因此，在接下来的北伐战争中，诸葛亮更加注重策略运用，力求以最小的代价取得最大的胜利。

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, launched a northern expedition against Cao Wei. In order to win over the hearts of the people, he adopted the strategy of a righteous army and did not massacre the people. However, faced with the strong resistance of the Wei army on the battlefield, Zhuge Liang ultimately ordered a large-scale attack and launched a fierce battle with the Wei army. On the battlefield, swords flashed and the screams of killing shook the heavens and earth. The Shu soldiers fought bravely, and the Wei army was not to be outdone, and both sides engaged in a protracted tug-of-war. In the end, Zhuge Liang, with his outstanding military talent and the brave fighting of the Shu army, won the war, but he also paid a huge price. This war made Zhuge Liang realize that sometimes, while large-scale attacks can win, they can also lead to huge losses. Therefore, in the following northern expeditions, Zhuge Liang paid more attention to the use of strategies, striving to achieve the greatest victory with the least cost.
