话说唐朝时期，边关告急，敌军来势汹汹。一位名叫李将军的戍边将领，本该日夜操练士兵，加强防卫，却沉迷于酒色，疏忽职守。他整日与部下饮酒作乐，荒废军务，对敌情侦察敷衍了事。一日，敌军突袭，李将军措手不及，导致边关失守，百姓遭殃。最终，李将军因疏忽职守，被朝廷问罪。此事警示后人，要时刻尽职尽责，不得有丝毫懈怠。
During the Tang Dynasty, the border was in danger, and the enemy's forces were approaching menacingly. A border guard named General Li, who should have been training soldiers and strengthening defenses day and night, was instead addicted to alcohol and pleasure, neglecting his duty. He spent his days drinking and feasting with his subordinates, neglecting military affairs and making perfunctory investigations into enemy intelligence. One day, the enemy launched a surprise attack, General Li was caught off guard, resulting in the loss of the border and suffering for the people. In the end, General Li was held accountable by the court for neglecting his duty. This story warns later generations to always fulfill their duties conscientiously and without the slightest negligence.
