Origin Story
话说三国时期，一场激烈的战役在旷野上展开。两军对垒，刀光剑影，喊杀声震天动地。蜀军将领诸葛亮运筹帷幄，指挥若定，蜀军士兵英勇奋战，屡次击退魏军进攻。然而，魏军人数众多，实力雄厚，蜀军渐渐抵挡不住。这时，诸葛亮暗中观察，发现魏军阵营中出现混乱，似乎后勤补给出现问题。他果断下令收兵回营，魏军将领司马懿不明所以，以为诸葛亮兵败如山倒，不敢追击。蜀军安全撤回营地，休整之后，诸葛亮又重新制定战略，最终取得了战争的胜利。这场战斗让世人明白，收兵回营并非失败的表现，有时，战略性的撤退，是为了更好的反击。
During the Three Kingdoms period, a fierce battle unfolded on the plains. Two armies clashed, swords flashed, and the shouts of fighting men shook the earth. Zhuge Liang, the Shu general, planned strategically and commanded his troops with firm resolve. The Shu soldiers fought bravely, repeatedly repelling Wei attacks. However, the Wei army was far more numerous and powerful, and the Shu army was gradually unable to resist. At this point, Zhuge Liang secretly observed, discovering chaos in the Wei camp, apparently due to logistical problems. He decisively ordered a retreat back to camp. Sima Yi, the Wei general, mistook this for a rout, and dared not pursue. The Shu army safely withdrew, and after resting, Zhuge Liang devised a new strategy, ultimately winning the war. This battle taught people that a retreat isn't always defeat; sometimes, a strategic withdrawal allows for a better counterattack.
