Origin Story
话说三国时期，吴国大将陆逊率军北上，途径一片荒漠。突然，狂风大作，飞沙走石，天昏地暗，陆逊的军队陷入了困境。士兵们被风沙迷了眼，看不清方向，马匹也难以行走。陆逊凭借丰富的经验，指挥军队迅速找寻避风处，躲过了这突如其来的沙暴。等到风沙过后，陆逊的军队安然无恙，继续北上，最终取得了胜利。这场飞沙走石的经历，让陆逊更加敬畏自然的力量，也更加注重行军打仗中的细节和策略。
During the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China, Wu general Lu Xun led his troops north, passing through a desolate wasteland. Suddenly, a violent windstorm arose, with flying sand and stones, and the sky darkened. Lu Xun's army was in trouble. The soldiers were blinded by the sand and dust, unable to see their way, and the horses could barely walk. Relying on his rich experience, Lu Xun commanded the army to quickly find shelter from the wind, and they successfully escaped the sudden sandstorm. After the storm, Lu Xun's army was safe and sound and continued their journey north, finally achieving victory. This experience with the flying sand and stones made Lu Xun even more respectful of the power of nature and more attentive to details and strategies in war.
