The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

After a brief hesitation, Liu Che made the decision upon seeing Huo Qubing's self-recommendation.

There was no other way. Later generations might have had various experiences in naval or sea battles, but at his time, and in the era before that, it was all about groping in the dark to move forward.

In this situation, to ensure absolute safety, the only option is to first send a small force to probe the area.

Huo Qubing, who was most skilled at launching surprise attacks with small groups of troops, was the best choice!

"Bring the compass, I trust you."

"Don't let His Majesty down."

Wei Qing patted him on the shoulder, having no other choice but to place his hopes on him.

"Perhaps when I return, I will be able to bring good news to His Majesty."

"If there are not many enemies, I will annihilate them all; if there are too many enemies, I will launch a surprise attack to capture the leader and bring his head back to receive my orders!"

Huo Qubing said with a smile.

Although he dared not speak definitively in front of Liu Che, he had a vague intuition.

I can find the place myself!

Come on, let it take effect, passive skill!

……

Seeing many emperors on the sky worrying about not being able to find their way, Ying Zheng was also at a loss.

He was so focused on directing Meng Tian and Qin Ruishi that he never imagined such a problem would arise!

What should I do if I can't find the person?

"Li Si, do you have a solution?"

He looked at Li Si, who had just returned with the imperial decree.

Li Si: "..."

Your Majesty, just because I'm redeeming myself through meritorious service, you're using me as a wish-granting machine?

Even though I am very learned, I have never studied this!

But faced with Ying Zheng's question, he dared not refute it and could only rack his brains.

A moment later, he thought of someone.

"Your Majesty, Xu Fu seemed to have mentioned before that he wanted to go to sea to seek immortals. Although these immortals are fake, he wouldn't risk his life."

"He might have a way of determining direction at sea, or even finding his target!"

Ying Zheng: "?"

"Xu Fu was torn to pieces and his bones were scattered to the winds. Now we can't even find his ashes. What's the use of telling me that he might be able to find them?"

If you tell me now that he's useful, I'll dig out his ashes and see if he's still usable.

"Although Xu Fu is dead, his former disciples may still be of use!"

"...they're all dead too."

Ying Zheng said calmly.

They slaughtered the entire family, including nine generations of their relatives, and even killed many other sorcerers and magicians in the process.

Do you really expect him to have disciples who will survive?

Give me a break!

"Perhaps some are hidden among the common people, whom His Majesty failed to discover back then?"

"Your Majesty, the most difficult part of finding your way at sea is the inability to discern directions, which is precisely what those sorcerers excel at."

"Find them, send a lieutenant general to lead them to the island, and once we've confirmed that we've found it, then have General Meng lead the main army to push through."

Neither Li Si nor Ying Zheng were worried about whether they could defeat them.

In their hearts, the Qin elite troops, the Qin warriors, were the symbol of invincibility.

No matter what kind of enemy they face, they can easily crush them!

"Your suggestion is not without merit."

"Then issue the decree, proclaiming to the world that anyone who knows the location and is confident in finding that island for me will have all their past crimes forgiven!"

"Compared to the crimes committed by those Japanese, all other crimes are insignificant!"

"Not only will past transgressions be forgiven, but I will also reward those who have rendered meritorious service. Furthermore, everything on the island can be given as a reward, as long as a place can be found!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Once the location is found, the rest can be left to Meng Tian.

He had already made up his mind to send 30,000 troops as the vanguard first. If 30,000 troops couldn't take it, then he would send 300,000!

No matter what, no matter the cost, he would never allow a single living creature to remain on that island!

……

Half a month later.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan looked at each other in a pavilion.

All three arrived with large armies and guards. Although they distrusted each other, they had no choice but to meet.

"You traitor Cao, have you found the place?"

Liu Bei broke the deadlock by speaking first.

"...No, of the two teams we sent out, one team returned shortly after losing their way, and the other team is still adrift somewhere."

Boss Cao shook his head helplessly, then looked at Emperor Sun.

"You rats, what about you? Don't you Jiangdong people pride yourselves on being the best at naval warfare? You should be experienced enough to find the place."

Sun Quan: “…”

He felt like crying.

That was what he originally thought, so he was very confident and did not send a small group of soldiers to scout ahead, but instead sent 20,000 troops directly.

To everyone's surprise, there has still been no news.

Now he only had one thought in his mind.

These two must never know the current situation of Eastern Wu!

Otherwise, it'll be spicy!

Faced with Cao Cao's question, he shook his head with a complex mix of emotions, pretending to be calm.

"The scouts haven't sent back any news yet, which means they haven't found the place yet."

"But I believe that my Eastern Wu navy is most skilled in naval warfare, and they will not let me down!"

"Master of naval warfare? You rats, did your spies never even return?"

"Once at sea, the situation is completely different from that of ordinary naval warfare."

Mr. Cao looked suspicious.

It's easy to tell from the returning group that the sea battles were completely different from what they had previously known about naval warfare.

Gale-force winds and torrential rains are common at sea, making navigation much more difficult. Maintaining the ship's course is already challenging enough, let alone having to determine direction.

Eastern Wu excelled in naval warfare, which might give them a certain advantage in this matter, but it wouldn't be decisive.

"So, for you two, the current situation is that you still haven't found where the enemy is?"

"No, it should be said that we don't even know how to find our way after setting sail?"

Liu Bang had already indicated from the sky that it was in the east.

The direction is known to everyone; the only problem now is how to determine this direction at sea.

And how do you find a place if you only have a general location?

"That's the situation. So, Xuande, why are you so opposed to this? Do you have some ideas?"

Emperor Sun said with dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei shrugged.

"What ideas could I possibly have? Does Sichuan have a sea or a river?"

"If it weren't for joining forces with Jiangdong, I wouldn't have even seen the river more than a few times. Do you expect me to have a solution?"

When he first gained Kongming's loyalty, he kept saying that he felt like a fish in water, but even for him, this area was still a blind spot in his knowledge.

"What should we do then? Old Zhu and his son have both set sail. Although we don't know what they have to rely on, they must be confident."

"If we wait until they finish their work and we're still clueless, then we'll really be three cobblers with no clue whatsoever!"
