The sun was shining, and the sea breeze was blowing, making the sails of the ship hunt. The tide is raging, and the waves are unsettled and rising again and again, like a flood beast with its fangs open.

On the sea, large ships are sailing side by side on the sea, most of them with confusion on their faces.

They don't know where they are, where they are going, they just sail.

Strictly speaking, they were all deceived into getting on the thief ship and chasing the so-called "fairy mountain".

The boundless sea brought all kinds of diseases, and although Cao Cao had carefully selected them, after all, he was in the Central Plains, and there were still many landlubbers in the army.

Even if you are lucky enough to escape the invasion of disease, you will become weak and weak due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and in this case, it is very difficult to maintain your mobility, let alone on the battlefield.

Cao Cao stood on the big boat at the front of the fleet, looking at the rolling waves sweeping in all directions, and his heart was full of emotion.

He still seems to be hasty, although Guo Jia has prepared for him, but it is still a fool's dream to conquer the boundless sea.

They weren't even sure if the so-called "Overseas Immortal Mountain" really existed, maybe Guo Jia had deceived him!

Of course, it may be true that all of this is true, but they can still get lost in the middle of the ocean.

But he has no choice, if he turns back at this time, let alone whether he can set foot on the Han land again, even if he is lucky to go back, he will be reduced to the fate of a prisoner.

Cao Cao was a proud man, and he would rather die in battle than be captured and imprisoned by his lifelong enemy.

Presumably, at this moment, Liu Bei has already unified the Central Plains, and there is only one Jiangdong missing, right?

"What happened to the soldiers and the people?"

Cao Cao tilted his head slightly and looked at Xu Chu on the side.

This tiger general, who was born not afraid of heaven and earth, was also pale at this time, and even the hand holding the hilt of the sword began to tremble slightly, but he was still trying to suppress it.

"It's okay for the people to say, at least there is an army to determine, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only endure it, but"

"The military is disheartened, right?"

Cao Cao had already expected the result, although he brought all the elite who had been in battle for a long time, but in the face of this endless sailing career, people could not help but think about it.

"Don't worry, the last general and Miaocai, General Zixiao have already cut more than a dozen people who took the lead in making trouble, and the current military spirit is quite stable."

Chen Gong on the other side hesitated for a moment and said, "But my lord, we don't have much food and grass. ”

Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and if a soldier can't eat enough, even if Xu Chu, Xiahoudun and other generals are strong, it will be difficult to suppress this endless turmoil.

"Hahaha" Cao Cao was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly, which attracted the sideways eyes of the surrounding soldiers for a while.

Xu Chu was confused, and he didn't know why the lord suddenly laughed.

Chen Gong is a see-fed fire, no matter how erosive the situation is, Cao Cao, as the monarch, must not be out of proportion, at least not to show it.

If he is in chaos, the courtiers, generals, soldiers, and people below will be even more chaotic.

"Have you forgotten that the place we are going to is Immortal Mountain, how can Immortal Mountain be so easy to go?"

Cao Cao deliberately raised his voice, and almost the people of the entire ship heard it, and then conveyed it to the ears of the people of the other ships behind him by word of mouth.

"This is actually a test of God for us, some people have died, it is because they have not passed the test of God and cannot set foot on the immortal mountain."

This was originally a reassuring word, but Xu Chu, a fool of Cao Cao, actually believed this, and asked: "Is there really an immortal living on the overseas immortal mountain?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned, and said in his heart: This nerd, what I want to deceive are the people and ordinary soldiers, why are you also on the way?

However, Lao Cao reacted quickly and said with a smile: "The Immortal Mountain is very capable of being climbed, but under the Immortal Mountain, it is prosperous. ”

"There is endless food, wine and meat, and beautiful girls, as long as we land ashore, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth."

The improvised lie was crude, but it was enough to confuse the illiterate soldiers. It's like a person who has fallen into the darkness has touched a ray of light, and his heart has begun to rekindle his fighting spirit.

Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, but his mood was a little heavy.

Although he can temporarily stabilize the morale of the army, if he can't reach the destination and solve the problem of food and grass shortage, even him, all the high-ranking soldiers will be dismantled.

In the midst of this vast sea, rules and the rule of law are gradually disappearing.

"Father, is there really an immortal mountain?"

Cao Ang, who was dressed in military uniform, rushed over when he heard the news, holding a blood-dripping sword in his hand, followed by Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and others.

Apparently, they had just suppressed another rebellion.

Along the way, there were countless difficulties, not only the erosion of diseases, but also countless storms.

Now that he is about to face the problem of food exhaustion, even Cao Cao's excellent eldest son can't help but feel powerless. At times like these, he desperately needs someone to show him the way forward.

"Yes!"

Cao Cao said solemnly: "The moment you dock is the moment when you, my father and son, and even the entire Cao family's hegemony will be restarted." ”

These words were both deceiving his son and comforting himself.

Even if it is a generation of heroes, when facing a desperate situation, you also need to give yourself a little hope.

Cheng Yu, who came with Cao Ang, said in a low voice: "Lord, if you use that batch of meat, you may be able to support it for a few more months." ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed slightly, and he naturally understood what the so-called "meat" meant.

"No!"

In the form of course, everyone is holding a string, and once he starts this head, the already weak legal system will come to naught in an instant.

At that time, all the soldiers and even the common people will kill each other, so that the situation will be completely out of control.

Cheng Yu sighed and said no more.

Cao Cao looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Can you still believe in me Cao Cao?" ”

"The last will believe!" Xu Chu was the first to speak, and he trusted Cao Cao even faster than Cao Cao's little fan brother Cao Ren and others, of course, there were also reasons for his own uprightness.

"I believe in my father, too." Cao Ang then made a statement.

"Cao Ren always believes in the eldest brother."

"The last general is forbidden to follow the lord to the death."

Subsequently, the generals expressed their positions one after another.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, then looked at the blue sky, and said in a loud voice: "The landing period is within these three days." ”

Although the generals knew that Cao Cao was comforting them, they still echoed it.

At this moment, Chen Gong suddenly exclaimed: "Lord, below, it seems that you have seen land below." ”

This sentence is like the nectar ushered in by the land that has been in drought for a long time, which makes people ecstatic, and the mood rolls for a long time and cannot be calmed.

Everyone looked ahead, and beyond the distant sea, the tiny oasis was faintly visible.

Cao Ang was overjoyed, and said to himself: "Could it be a mirage?" ”

"No, this is the beginning of hegemony!"
