I heard my lord say frankly that he was greedy and now he had to seize the day to speed up the process of annexation of the countries... Feng Dao's eyes, who had originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but look surprised, and then he heard Li Tianqu say with emotion:

"All dynasties and dynasties were at the beginning of their rise, and I must make good use of the military power I have surrendered one after another so that they can be used by our dynasty as soon as possible. Now, in a chaotic era of disputes between countries, the people of all over the country have not yet fully stabilized and can live a peaceful and peaceful life... And if the world is peaceful for a long time, the military and civilians under their rule will be even more tired of war.

However, the emperor of a country is not an ordinary people who only hope for peace and stability in their livelihood. I want to unify the world in my lifetime and repeat the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If Feng Qing said, this may be considered a great success... If I take steady steps and slow down my goals, I will not only miss the best time to expand, but I will probably find it difficult to fulfill my wish when I am alive..."

Having said this, Li Tianqu couldn't help but feel a little emotional... Even if he strengthened his body and maintained his body properly, his state of mind was still well maintained, but he was still inseparable from birth, old age, sickness and death.

The annexation of the separatist regimes of various parties, eradicating the hidden danger of Annanjing's navy being divided from Central China, and finally fighting against the increasingly powerful Khitan Empire in the north, and also taking over the ancestors of the clown who jumped from the Korean Peninsula...even the white mountains and black waters, the northern desert outside the border, and the Tubo in the Western Regions, at least in their lifetime, in order to incorporate those territories into the Central Plains... This also made Li Tianqu feel a sense of urgency, lamenting that he is getting older, and even if he really wants to live for another 500 years, objective conditions do not allow it...

Li Tianqu said as he walked to Feng Dao's side, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said:

"It is true that our dynasty seems to be stable now, but it is not long before annexation of Hedong, Sichuan and Shu and other places. We still need to rectify the administration and appease the people's hearts. Repeated wars are indeed exhausting the people and causing money, and it will cost a lot of national strength.

During this critical period, as Emperor Gaozu of Han said: Conquer the country, appease the people, give them nan, and keep the food supply. I am not as good as Xiao He... The soldiers of the three armies in the southern expedition have their lives, but including Feng Qing, I must also rely on you to maintain the orders of the court, strive to be harmonious with the people, and to safeguard the country and stabilize the political situation..."

Feng Dao's idea was to be steady and enterprising. He had a negative attitude towards Li Tianqu's frequent wars and made his own opinions bluntly. As a result, Li Tianqu was not only not annoyed, but also instructed Feng Dao to do it well... There were court officials in Xuanting who gave Feng Dao a blank look and began to praise His Majesty for being humble and open-minded. The topic went south to expand the territory of the Wei Dynasty and annexed the countries. The situation should be in a good direction. He insisted on standing up and singing the opposite tune. Feng Dao, who was pouring cold water, said it was not pleasing to the eyes of Wang Shifan and other important officials, and was temporarily left aside.

Feng Dao sat quietly for a moment, suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that since the Wu, Chu and Yue countries had previously praised our dynasty, even if His Majesty had the ambition to unify the country, he should not be too hasty. Instead, it formed a situation where the countries in the south joined forces to fight against our dynasty.

But Your Majesty believes that he is eager to achieve great achievements. After these words, I seem to be too cautious. Time is too late, I have to seize the day... This time I give a frank advice, it seems that I have done this one more thing...

Located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, north of the waters of the Jianghan Plain. It is located under the Wei Dynasty's terrain that controls Bashu in the west and Xianghan in the north; further south, it is the Youjiangkou waters currently controlled by the Chu State. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, who was the left general of the Han Dynasty, then took the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling in the south after the Battle of Chibi. He once camped here, using the meaning of "Zuogong'an camp to set up camps" and changed his name to Gong'an.

Cheng Wei, the warlord who occupied Jiangling, commanded the Zhou army in Jingnan. He took the Yangtze River waters and attacked the territory under Yang Xingmi's rule, but was defeated by Li Shenfu, the first general of the Southern Wu, and eventually ended up committing suicide... Cheng Wei, who was suspicious and suspicious, thought that his sons were unfilial, so he killed all his own flesh and blood with his own hands. The foundation he had worked hard to manage was destroyed. The Wei Dynasty took the opportunity to occupy Jiangling, and Ma Yin, the Chu State, pushed the territory north to the Gong'an County area of ​​Youjiangkou.

Therefore, the two countries in the north and south took the Yangtze River waters in the Han River Plain as the boundary, and they could be regarded as seeing each other without looking down... Southern Chu pursued the national policy of respecting the Central Plains and pacifying the people below. Previously, Li Tianqu thought that the time for annexation to Hunan and Chu was still immature, so the warships patrolling the border between Wei and Chu were each guarding one side, clearly divided and had always been peaceful.

However, the situation is very different now... Chu State sent troops to support Wu, and it is inevitable that it would meet the Wei Dynasty. The Wei army, which had been transferred to Jiangling, responded immediately. She had already rolled up her arms and sleeves and waited for a long time. If the Chu State participated in the war, it would start fighting immediately.

The Wei fleet, with masts and sails standing in front of the masts and oars, rushed towards the direction of the Chu State Water Village at the mouth of the Youjiangkou. The head general who commanded the boat troops across the road was more than half of his hair and his beard seemed to be quite old, but his figure was still very burly.

Ni Kefu, who served under Gao Jichang and then surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, had at least several beautiful battles fought by historical books. In the official history, the Nanping Kingdom used Liang Zhen, Sikongxun and Liu Qufei (historical trajectory was changed to Wang Baoyi when Gao Jichang of Nantou was destroyed by the Later Tang Dynasty) as a think tank. However, there were not many famous generals who could make a move, but one of them was considered to be Ni Kefu.

The Nanping Kingdom, which took the official history line, fought with Lei Yangong, the warlord occupying Langzhou, or resisted the offensives of Yang Wu and Ma Chu, and Ni Kefu made many military achievements and was highly valued by Gao Jichang. They also formed in-laws in the family. As one of the few long-time generals of the Nanping Kingdom, Ni Kefu was in the Jingnan area to support the descendants of the descendants to survive and reproduce, and obtained the title of Ni Gang, which was also recorded in the "Jingzhou Prefecture Chronicle".

However, Gao Jichang now has no chance to occupy Jingnan. He took advantage of the changes in the world and became king, so he had already surrendered to the Wei Dynasty. Ni Kefu could not know that according to his original fate, he would become a relative of the Nanping King who would no longer exist in this time and space... But no matter who he served, as a military general, he would still have to go to war.

Therefore, the Emperor of Wei issued an edict to order all troops to prepare for war with Jiangling. The Privy Councilor Fu Cunshen and the troops were deployed, and Ni Kefu appointed him to command the navy to participate in the war against Chu State... He accepted the order happily, and happily led the fleet southward, and he also made great efforts to fight it in a good start in the water battle with Chu State.

After all, it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree. As a general, it is said that he has to rely on military achievements to get rich... Moreover, Ni Kefu said that he would not steam buns and make a sigh of relief. Although we could not resist the offensive of several military brigades of the Wei Dynasty, we had to surrender with the lord Gao Jichang at that time... But now I am also a general of the Wei army, but the Wei Dynasty is a good general, and the chances of being ordered to go on the expedition in the past are limited... Today, he finally became the chief general of the navy of the Zhengshuo Dynasty who dominated the Central Plains to conquer Chu in the south. He could not use all his strength to compete for an additional position?

"Tong Ni! The Chu people also sent a boat army! It seems that they should take the initiative to fight and block our army from crossing to the south bank!"

A navy military academy rushed to report urgently. When Ni Kefu heard this, he and several generals rushed to the bow of the ship immediately. He then put on a canopy with his hand, stretched his neck, and looked at the opposite side. He heard the military academy beside him report that the front-line warships were catching the flags in the Chu army fleet, Ni Kefu's eyes were full of eagerness to try, and he said with a quick look:

"Wang Huan, the commander of the Chu naval army, I have heard of this man's name. It is said that he is also famous for his ability to fight water wars. But with the new firearms and sulphur bombs of our marching commander, I don't believe that he has the ability to intercept it!"
