Origin Story
话说，某朝代，经过多年的战争，叛乱终于被平定。然而，一些残存的叛军并没有销声匿迹，他们隐藏在深山老林，伺机复出。这些残渣余孽，如同阴魂不散，时不时地出来作乱，给百姓带来无尽的痛苦。朝廷虽然多次派兵剿匪，但由于地形复杂，加上这些叛军狡猾多变，每次剿匪都未能彻底消灭他们。百姓们怨声载道，希望朝廷能够彻底铲除这些危害社会安宁的残渣余孽。终于，在一位英明神武的将军的带领下，朝廷集结大军，对这些残渣余孽进行最后的清剿。经过艰苦卓绝的战斗，这些残渣余孽终于被彻底消灭，百姓们迎来了久违的安定生活。
Once upon a time, after years of war, a rebellion was finally quelled. However, some of the remaining rebels did not disappear without a trace; they hid in the deep mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to reappear. These remnants of the rebellion, like lingering ghosts, occasionally emerged to wreak havoc, bringing endless suffering to the people. Although the court repeatedly sent troops to suppress the bandits, due to the complex terrain and the cunning nature of the rebels, they never completely eliminated them. The people complained and lamented, hoping that the court would completely eradicate these remnants that threatened social peace. Finally, under the leadership of a wise and valiant general, the court assembled a large army to carry out the final suppression of these remnants. After a hard-fought battle, these remnants were finally completely eliminated, and the people ushered in a long-awaited peaceful life.
