Wei Wu took part in the war and lost his way. What does this mean?

"Wei Wu lost his way in the battle" means that Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, led an army to March and fight, and came to a place without water.

(1) Wei Wu: Cao Cao (155 ~ 220), Wei Wudi, from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Brilliant, powerful and deceitful, he can write poetry. He rose up to pursue the yellow turban insurrectionary thief, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and gradually cut the crowd, claiming to be the prime minister, worshiping the general and winning the title of Gong Wei, and then died in Luoyang. Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, chasing Emperor Wu, and the temple name was Taizu.

(2) Service: March.

(3) Lost access to water: Lost access to water, that is, no water source.

The allusion comes from "looking at plum to quench thirst".

The original text is: Wei Wu went out to war, and the army was thirsty, so he said, "There is a great Meilin ahead, and Rao Zi is sweet and sour, which can quench his thirst." When the foot soldiers smell it, they can get the source with their mouths full of water.

Borrow the allusion of quenching thirst by plum blossom:

One summer, Cao Cao led his army to crusade against Zhang Xiu. The weather is unusually hot, the sun is like fire, and there is not a cloud in the sky. The troops walked on the winding mountain road, and the dense trees and rocks scorched by the sun on both sides made people breathless. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked, the marching speed slowed down, and several weak soldiers fainted on the side of the road.

Cao Cao was worried that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and that the fighter plane would be delayed. However, at present, tens of thousands of people can't even drink water. How can we speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly, "Is there a water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said, "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It's a long detour. " Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too late." He looked at the forest in front of him, thought for a moment, and said to the guide, "Don't say anything, I'll think of something." He knew that even if he ordered the troops to speed up at the moment, it would not help. A brainwave, the solution came. He grabbed the horse by the stomach and quickly rushed to the front of the line. Pointing at the front with a whip, he said, "Soldiers, I know there is a large area of Merlin in front, where the plums are big and delicious. Let's hurry around this hill and go to Meilin! " Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to eat it in their mouths, and their spirits were greatly boosted, and their pace could not help but accelerate a lot.
