Origin Story
话说东汉末年，黄巾起义席卷天下，各地烽火不断。张角兄弟率领的黄巾军势如破竹，攻城略地，一时间，中原大地烽火连天，哀鸿遍野。洛阳城内，天子惶恐不安，朝堂之上大臣们也是忧心忡忡。各路诸侯纷纷举兵讨伐黄巾军，一时间，整个天下陷入战乱之中。在战火中，许多百姓流离失所，家破人亡，生灵涂炭。而那些被战火波及的村庄，更是变成了人间炼狱。那场景，简直是烽火连天，哀嚎遍野，人间地狱。这场战争，持续了数年之久，最终在各路诸侯的共同努力下，才得以平息。但是，这场战争给百姓带来了巨大的灾难，也给国家带来了巨大的损失。
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the land, igniting fires everywhere. The Yellow Turban Army, led by the Zhang Jiao brothers, was unstoppable, capturing cities and towns. For a time, the Central Plains were engulfed in flames, with cries of sorrow echoing across the land. In Luoyang, the emperor was filled with fear, and the court officials were worried. Various feudal lords raised their armies to fight the Yellow Turbans, and the entire country plunged into chaos. Amidst the war, many people lost their homes and families, and countless lives were lost. Villages ravaged by war became scenes of utter devastation, with fires blazing and cries of despair filling the air. The war lasted for several years, finally ending after joint efforts by various feudal lords. However, the war caused immense suffering to the people and huge losses to the country.
