亦作 畫餅充飢
Cao Cao Discusses Plums
Do not listen to idle gossip or speak of right and wrong
From morning to night, simply chant Amitabha (stay peaceful)
If you take wild, empty words as the truth

During a harsh march, Cao Cao's troops were exhausted and desperately thirsty. To keep them moving, he lied, saying there was a forest of sour plums ahead. The thought made their mouths water, temporarily relieving their thirst, but it was an illusion. It warns against relying on false hopes.
