During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang led his army on a southern campaign against Meng Huo. After capturing and releasing Meng Huo seven times, Meng Huo finally surrendered. On the way back, they encountered a sudden storm. Strong winds and waves battered the ships, and the soldiers were panicked. But Zhuge Liang remained calm and composed. He led his soldiers to work together against the storm and finally passed the danger safely. This experience made the soldiers understand the meaning of "sharing wind and rain" more deeply and strengthened their loyalty to Zhuge Liang. They understood that only unity can overcome all difficulties and achieve great success.
