The story of looking at plum to quench thirst

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led troops to fight, and encountered great difficulties on the way. That is, there is no water for hundreds of miles in the wilderness, and the soldiers are thirsty, and some weak soldiers are dying of thirst. Cao Cao was embarrassed to see such a situation.

So Cao Cao hurried to the front of the mountain to see the situation ahead. When Cao Cao reached the top of the mountain, he was disappointed. Looking around, there is still no human habitation. However, with a brainwave, Cao Cao thought of a way.

He turned and said to the thirsty soldiers, "Soldiers, go over the mountain ahead, where there are endless plums." The soldiers couldn't help drooling when they heard the sound of plums and remembered their sweet and sour taste. As a result, the soldiers suddenly had strength and struggled forward. Later, they finally reached the place where there was water, only to find that there was no Merlin at all.

The story comes from Liu Yiqing's "Shi Shuo Xin Yu False Prophecy" in the Southern Song Dynasty: Wei Wu went out to war, lost his way, and the army was thirsty, so he said,' There is a big Merlin in front, so forgive him, and quench his thirst with bitterness and sweetness.' When the foot soldiers smell it, they can get the source with their mouths full of water. "?
