"What do you think of the general trend of today's dynasty, Renyu?" Sun Kuisheng started by asking a big, very general question.

Liu Renyu didn't know what Sun Kuisheng meant by asking, he pondered for a while before replying: "It has been more than 200 years since Emperor Taizu Gao founded the country. Now my Ming Dynasty, the old empire, can be described as full of evils, but the Jiannu is in the northeast again, the northern captives are in the north, and the thieves are making trouble at home, and the world is not peaceful. ”

"It's a lot of evils, and it's a world that's not peaceful! Haha, what Renyu said is extremely true, now the dynasty is in an eventful season, for the country, for the emperor, for the court, for the people, naturally not a good thing, but for us warriors, it is an opportunity. ”

"Uncle Yue, what do you mean?"

"The Ming Dynasty is now surrounded by smoke, and it always takes soldiers to calm down, and it can't be solved by those big turbans. Since I first met you, I thought you were extraordinary, and now when I look at everything you have done, I feel that you are even more extraordinary. You have a strong army, and in such an eventful time, as long as you make more military achievements, then your future is bound to be limitless, and the general army may be a matter of time for you. Or, I think that you are very likely to be Xu Da and Chang Yuchun today, and the king dare not think about it, and it is not impossible to be a prince Wandai. ”

"Uncle Yue, how dare the son-in-law compare with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the two founding gods of war." Liu Renyu saw that his father-in-law actually compared himself to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and hurriedly said humbly.

"Renyu, look at the situation of people, your martial arts are not bad, your soldiers are even more ironclad, they are not afraid of death, they are happy when they hear the war, Jiannu Bayala is not the opponent of your people, and the rest of the thieves, Beiyu, and ordinary Jiannu are not a problem. You are already a guerrilla now, as long as you make a few more great achievements, the general army will not be able to escape, and then increase the rank, and in the end, there will only be a feudal uncle, a feudal marquis, or even a national duke, it is not impossible. It is precisely because I fancy your promising future that I will marry Yuyun to you. If she follows you, she will always rise and live a good life. ”

Liu Renyu saw that Sun Kuisheng said the reason for marrying him so bluntly, although he knew that this was human nature, but he still didn't like it in his heart, and he was not very happy.

Sun Kuisheng saw that Liu Renyu seemed to have a look of concern, and thought that he was talking too realistically, which made his son-in-law unhappy, so he hurriedly remedied: "In addition to taking a fancy to your upward trend, I also think that you are very good in this offspring, you are all-round in civil and military affairs, and you are very decent in dealing with people, and you know a lot of things at such a young age, and you are also very good in officialdom." And the most important thing is that you are very charming, and you have fascinated my daughter, so you can only marry you. ”

At this time, Liu Renyu heard his father-in-law praising him for a while, and he was already a little happy in his heart, and finally heard that Sun Yuyun was in love with him, so he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yue, you have won the award, how can the son-in-law be so good!" ”

"It's that good. Renyu, you don't have to be modest, now, listen to me tell you a story. In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao went on the horse to govern the army, and the people on the horse, but I had the Ming Dynasty, and the later Emperor Chengzuwen had the majesty of Taizu, and he was also the male lord of the army and the people. ”

Liu Renyu listened to his father-in-law's words, and suddenly felt that the clouds and mountains were foggy, and he didn't know why, he really didn't know why his father-in-law kept mentioning Emperor Taizu, so he asked very suspiciously: "Uncle Yue, why do you always mention Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu?" ”

"Hehe, I just said that your ability to govern the army is really good, and what is even more rare is that you can still get off the horse to govern the people, the military and the government are integrated, and your talent is very good."

"Uncle Yue, what you said is too profound, and my son-in-law doesn't understand."

"Renyu, your tribe is self-contained, not subject to the constraints of the imperial court, and you also wantonly divide the land to invite the people under your rule to buy people's hearts. Not to mention other places, just this Jingbian Fort, you have already gathered financial power, administrative power, personnel power in one, everything here is up to you, if you continue to develop and grow, every time you go, you will do so, in the end what kind of power it will be. At that time, do you want to be An Lushan, or do you want to be Guo Ziyi? ”

After Sun Kuisheng asked this question, he suddenly looked at Liu Renyu with blazing eyes, as if he could see through what Liu Renyu was thinking.

And Liu Renyu was shocked by Sun Kuisheng's unbridled imagination, and he opened his mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.

The room was eerily quiet for a while.

"Uncle Yue, what you said about the son-in-law doesn't understand, and I don't want to understand, what the son-in-law thinks is very simple, build a strong army, eliminate the thieves, build slaves, take the north captives, be loyal to the emperor, and win wealth and glory in the first half of my life, so that I can have children and grandchildren in the second half of my life, with fine clothes and food, and enjoy the joy of family, so it is enough."

"Really!" Sun Kuisheng listened to Liu Renyu's answer, smiled slightly, noncommittal, and then he continued earnestly: "Renyu, in the past, you were alone, alone, no matter what you want to do, you can do it, now my Sun family and your Liu family are one, sharing weal and woe, honor and disgrace, when you want to do anything again, you have to think about it for Yuyun, don't do it if you are not sure, you can write it down." ”

"Yes, father-in-law." Liu Renyu vaguely felt that his father-in-law seemed to think that he had different ambitions, otherwise this General Sun would not have moved out of the example of An Lushan, but his father-in-law's attitude was a little interesting.

Don't do what you're not sure about. Liu Renyu didn't know what that sentence meant, but he didn't want to ask because he didn't want to continue on this embarrassing topic.

Fortunately, Sun Kuisheng didn't say anything like Taizu and Chengzu anymore, and he said another thing that made Liu Renyu even more creepy.

"Renyu, speaking of which, you have been able to achieve so much since you started up depends on your strong army, and your strong army is powerful because you have distributed the land to them. In this way, those who have constant production have perseverance, how can such an army not be strong in combat effectiveness. ”

"My father-in-law is right, my son-in-law just thinks that those who have constant production have perseverance, so he uses the land to stimulate their combat effectiveness."

"Your strategy is right, of course, but you used a lot of extraordinary means when acquiring land."

"Huh!?" When Liu Renyu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Huh. When you were in Zhenbeibao, you reclaimed a lot of wasteland, and when you saw that the harvest was about to come, Zhangjiabao suddenly said that the land was theirs and wanted to ask you to collect rent, and you agreed. Then, Zhangjiabao was attacked by bandits, and the entire village, regardless of men, women, old and young, all died. ”

When Sun Kuisheng said this, he deliberately paused and looked at Liu Renyu, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless well.
