Look at the generals on the boat, all of them are wearing rich clothes and embroidered coats, they look so majestic. Cao Cao told the generals: Since I raised my army, I have eliminated harm for the country, wiped out the four seas, and brought peace to the world.

He then told the generals: "I will use this to break the Yellow Turban, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, capture Yuan Shao, go deep into the northern part of the Great Wall, directly to Liaodong, and conquer the world. I am living up to my ambition as a man. On this beautiful day, I will compose a song, and you will follow." and. Then, he sang: "Singing to wine, the geometry of life... three turns around the tree, there is no tree to rely on, the mountain never gets too high, the water never gets too deep, the Shang Emperor (true history) prays for rain, and the world returns to its heart."
