Yumen Pass, who commanded the four Zhichong Mansions, was surnamed Tian and his name was Tian Renhui.

Tian Renhui is not small, his grandfather once served as the Sui Dynasty Youzhou Assassin History, a letter to the county duke, Tian Renhui is very ambitious, not relying on the ancestral shade, in the face of the family handed down the title and official position and a large amount of family property, plain face looked up to the sky forty-five degrees, cold and arrogant and lonely said I want to rely on my own efforts, this sentence made countless people want to smoke his hypocrisy after listening to it, who knows that it was really realized by him, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Renhui became the first batch of Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty Wude Year to open the imperial examination, relying on his own ability to be admitted, did not touch any light in the family.

This achievement is enough to frighten the world, who knows that Tian Renhui probably feels that Wendao has already sought defeat and cannot get it, and he is so lonely that he is a mess, so he went from Rong to be a soldier without saying a word, and did a line of love, love a line of fine line, and mixed up in the Tang army at a young age.

With such a prominent family background and such a strong individual, Tian Renhui's career is not only smooth sailing, it is simply a speedboat equipped with a small electric motor, rolling the waves all the way and running away, rising all the way from the captain, and now he is not yet forty years old, he is already the left guard lieutenant general of Yumen Pass, which is equivalent to the commander of the small theater of war, and it is simply a fierce life that does not need to be explained.

In the mansion of General Zhonglang in Yumen Pass, Tian Renhui met with Xu Mingzhu.

Xu Mingzhu was born in a businessman, if she asked to see Tian Renhui as the daughter of a businessman, of course it was impossible, the identity gap was too far away, and it was not a level at all, but Xu Mingzhu shook out her most important and beautiful identity, and Tian Renhui had to see her.

The Seven Grades Decree is nothing, and she is nothing as a person, but ...... Her husband is a great god.

Tian Renhui became a lieutenant general before he was forty years old, and he was naturally not a stupid person, although he guarded the border passes, he never severed his connection with Chang'an. Li Su's name naturally came to his ears from time to time.

The "young hero" recognized by the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty created the earth-shattering thunder to help the Tang Dynasty recover Songzhou, the open and secret battle with the East Palace, the story that Princess Dongyang, the ninth daughter of the emperor, had to tell, and the bold but long Fuxiong essay that can be passed down through the ages......

Li Su's deeds are too many, and this person is too conspicuous. In the Chang'an dynamics that Tian Renhui learned, the name "Li Su" cannot be avoided, and often occupies the headlines of the Chang'an gossip edition, the current affairs edition and the science and technology edition. The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and they barely had a one-sided relationship.

How heavy is the weight of friendship between "one-sided friends"? It's okay to get together to drink and talk about women, but it's not okay to borrow money, and it's even more difficult to borrow soldiers.

Hearing that Li Su's wife asked to see him, Tian Renhui refused at first, as the highest-ranking general in the Yumen Pass, he naturally knew very well what the situation was in Xizhou now, and Li Su's wife moved out of her identity to ask for a meeting. Its nature is about the same as a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and Tian Ren will. It's the innocent and pitiful ...... Chicken.

But the rules of officialdom are so hateful, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they are jointly defending the Western Regions for His Majesty the Emperor, not to mention that Li Su is mixed in Chang'an, and I heard that there are no officials or generals in Chang'an City, and they have a lot to do with him. Especially those founding veterans in the army, such as Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, and even the eldest grandson Wuji, all have a good eye for Li Suqing.

The founding heroes are all blue-eyed guys, Tian Renhui at least didn't dare to roll his eyes at him. Don't dare to violate the rules of officialdom, otherwise the end will not be too wonderful, although Li Su was demoted to Xizhou, and it seems that he has lost his holy family, but Tian Renhui also vaguely heard that His Majesty's intention to demote him to Xizhou is not simple......

So, let's see it.

…………

In the front hall of General Zhonglang's mansion, Tian Ren met Xu Mingzhu.

Xu Mingzhu's performance was very solemn, not only took off the black veil of the hat, but also changed out of the dusty dress, at this moment a brand-new black high-waisted skirt, with a bright red clover on her forehead, and her waterfall-like black hair was pulled high into a palace bun, to show that she was already a married woman, and she did not sit in the front hall, but just stood quietly in the entrance, far away from Tian Renhui, bowing her head and standing silently.

Tian Renhui was very polite, not only did he not see any coldness on his face, but instead piled up a homely smile.

"I have also met with Li Beijia, and I have a little friendship, but Mrs. passed by Yumen Pass, but I didn't know it, I didn't greet it from afar, it was really slack, Mrs. didn't see it......"

Xu Mingzhu raised his head, stared at Tian Renhui's face, and choked him to death with the first sentence he spoke.

"The woman did not pass through Yumen Pass, but came specifically to see General Tian."

Tian Renhui's cheeks twitched a few times, one "deliberately" and the other "asking to see", and there was no good thing in connecting together.

There are rules for chatting, and the person who breaks the rules of chat either has the absolute strength to modify the rules of the game, or is the kind of person who is a failure.

Tian Renhui is a man who does not fail, so although he can't resist in his heart, he still can't break the rules of chatting, everyone is "deliberate", and Tian Renhui's next sentence must be put up with this sentence.

So Tian Ren would force a smile and said, "Oh? I wonder what Madame saw me? Madame, but it doesn't matter, Tian will not give up as much as he can. ”

These are polite words, and they are polite words that leave enough room for yourself.

Xu Mingzhu was very nervous, she knew her fateful identity, and she also knew that her husband's official position was not low, but it was the first time in her life that she had spoken face-to-face with a Zhonglang general who was a fourth-grade general, and she could feel the other party's official authority as calm and solemn as a mountain when she stood in the entrance. Xu Mingzhu was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but the courage and mission churning in her chest made her bravely raise her head and look directly at Tian Renhui.

"Does General Tian know that Xizhou is in an emergency? The countries of the Western Regions covet Xizhou, and now the allied forces of the countries have come to the city of Xizhou, Xizhou is in danger, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in the city are hanging by a thread, the city is in danger, and the woman begged General Tian to send a soldier from Yumen Pass to help Xizhou. ”

Tian Renhui was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "The soldiers of the Western Regions are coming to the city of Xizhou? Is this true? ”

Xu Mingzhu stared at him and said word by word: "If the wife has a lie, she is willing to make amends with her head!" ”

Tian Renhui's expression gradually became serious: "This official is guarding the Yumen Pass, why haven't you heard the scout military report?" Madame has been away from Xizhou for a long time, how did you find out? ”

Xu Mingzhu's eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears. The voice choked and said: "The husband of the wife guarded the territory of the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Xizhou was surrounded by wolves, and took the opportunity to devour, the husband knew that it was difficult to defend the city, but he still did not take a step back, and the wife was sent out of Xizhou by the husband before he learned about it." The soldiers and horses of the Western Regions are ready to move, and the husband knows that the war is coming, so he sends his wife away, and after settling down the family, he has no worries, and he wholeheartedly spills blood for the community......"

Tian Renhui's expression became more and more solemn: "The meaning of Madame's words, isn't Xizhou besieged by all countries at this time?" This...... The founding of the Tang Dynasty has never been heard of, how dare they ...... the countries of the Western Regions"

Xu Mingzhu shook her head and cried: "The woman is just a woman, and she doesn't understand military affairs, but what the woman said is true." There is absolutely no falsehood, I just ask General Tian to see that for the sake of guarding the territory of the Tang Dynasty with his husband, he will send the Yumen Pass soldiers to rush to the aid of Xizhou, and save the father and my husband from the danger of hanging upside down......"

Tian Renhui glanced at Xu Mingzhu, sighed and said, "With all due respect, I haven't heard the scout military report ahead, and the siege of Xizhou is just a lady's words." Moreover, if it were not for the foreign enemy knocking on the border, the soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass would never be easily mobilized. Unless there is the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty or the military talismans and official documents sent by the three provinces, it is a big crime to transfer troops and horses without authorization. Even if I am the guard of the Jade Gate, I don't dare to transgress the rules, do you understand what I mean? ”

Xu Mingzhu only felt that his heart sank suddenly, sinking into the bottomless abyss, and his pretty face turned pale.

Although he knew that the hope of borrowing troops to ask for help was very slim, but slim did not mean that there was no after all. Until Tian Renhui refused so simply at this moment, Xu Mingzhu suddenly felt that the last faint hope was finally cut off, and the whole world fell into a completely lightless darkness.

"General Tian, even if it is useless for the lives of the fathers and husbands of Xizhou, Xizhou is also the city of the Tang Dynasty. How could General Tian bear to see the land and city of the Tang Dynasty fall into the hands of foreign enemies? Xu Mingzhu was resolute and still did not give up the last effort.

Tian Renhui said stiffly: "I am the guard of Yumen Pass, and Yumen Pass is my job, and it is a matter outside Yumen Pass...... Without the orders of His Majesty and the three provinces, Tian can't do it, madam, I'm really sorry. ”

Xu Mingzhu was stunned, his distracted eyes were still staring at Tian Renhui, and then he burst into tears.

After all, she is just a weak woman, even though she has learned to be strong along the way, but when hope turns into despair, in addition to tears, Xu Mingzhu no longer knows how to express the pain of heart death.

Seeing Xu Mingzhu crying regardless of her manners, Tian Renhui glanced at her sympathetically, and then sighed: "Madam, the most important thing at the moment is to send people back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and report the military situation of the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions besieging Xizhou to Chang'an...... Since ancient times, it has been hot and fatal, and it is not the Son of Heaven and cannot be controlled, so after the army reported to Chang'an, the old ministers of the three provinces also had to continue to deliver the general newspaper to the north, until His Majesty knew the will to transfer the troops, and the will reached Yumen Pass, so that I could mobilize troops and horses to help Xizhou......"

Xu Mingzhu's crying stopped, and after staying for a while, he cried even louder, and sobbed: "First hand Chang'an, then send Beijiang, and finally return to Yumen Pass, the general is willing to send troops, how can it last for several months?" At that time, how could Xizhou survive? Is my husband here? Can't General Tian be in a hurry to do something? ”

Tian Renhui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't follow the power, if I mobilize troops and horses without authorization, no matter what the reason, what awaits me is a steel knife and a neck, Tian does not hesitate to die, but what Tian is afraid of is that he will bear the infamy of eternity after death, and the history books and descendants will scold Tian for having a heart of disobedience, how can Tian be blind?" Mrs. saves her husband, a weak woman crosses the desert, thousands of miles for help, Tian sincerely admires, but then the family and the country, public and private, Tian does not dare to trespass, what I can do for Mrs. and Li Beijia is to choose my fastest horse in Yumen Pass, and the most physical knight, day and night to send the general report into Chang'an, and send scouts to the west, to explore the enemy situation in the Western Regions, in order to deal with it in the future, in addition, Tian can no longer do anything. ”

Tian Renhui's words have reached such a point, and he has clearly expressed his refusal, no matter what his personal views on Xizhou and Xu Mingzhu are, but the rules are the rules, the law of the country is the law of the country, and the unauthorized transfer of troops and horses is too big, so big that Tian Renhui, the Zhonglang general, can't afford it at all, no matter how sympathetic he is in his heart, he is anxious about the imminent fall of the Tang City, but he can only harden his heart and refuse to transfer troops.

Xu Mingzhu couldn't cry, and as soon as Tian Ren finished speaking, she suddenly knelt down on Tian Renhui's knees. Tears fell one after another on the smooth mirror-like ground.

"General Tian, please, please...... Showing mercy and transferring troops without authorization, he ordered his wife to lead it on behalf of General Tian and condemn His Majesty in the coming day. The wife will be matched with her life, and she will never teach General Tian to be wronged in the slightest......"

Tian Renhui hurriedly got up to avoid the big salute, and said with great embarrassment: "Madam, you...... You must not be like this, if it is not Tian's ruthlessness, it is really intolerable by the national law, without the edict, without seeing the tiger talisman, the soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass must not move a single soldier. ”

…………

Xu Mingzhu left in despair after all.

As a result of the fierce collision between national law and private feelings, national law is still on top. And the love between husband and wife has been shattered.

Step by step, Xu Mingzhu slowly moved out of the General's Mansion, she walked very slowly, looking back with every step, how much she hoped for a miracle, how much she hoped to hear Tian Renhui's soft-hearted voice, how much she hoped that when she took the next step, hope and luck would suddenly befall her......

However, Xu Mingzhu was still disappointed. Tian Renhui did not relent, let alone stop her. Just like that, I watched Xu Mingzhu get closer and closer to the door.

Strings of tears snaked down her cheeks, Xu Mingzhu cried silently, at this moment, she only felt that she was a beggar who returned empty-handed, paying the price of dignity, in exchange for nothing. She's not just begging, she's begging!

Tian Renhui hardened his heart and watched Xu Mingzhu take the last step out of the door, and then sat heavily on the couch, as if he had hollowed out flesh and blood. stared blankly at the wet stain on the floor in front of him, where Xu Mingzhu had just shed tears.

I don't know how long it took, Tian Renhui suddenly called: "Someone ...... coming"

The guards of the General's Mansion appeared outside the gate at the right time and saluted with their fists.

Tian Renhui waved his hand weakly and said: "Send thirty scouts out of the Guanxi journey, day and night, non-stop, to investigate the military situation of Xizhou and the Western Regions, go and return quickly, and do not delay and slacken!" Also, send the horse back to Chang'an, play His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three provinces, say that Xizhou is in danger, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three provinces to decide. ”

*****************************************************************

Walking out of the gate of the General's Mansion, Xu Mingzhu was like a puppet with flesh and blood hollowed out, and his eyes were empty and he walked slowly forward.

Fang Lao Wu and all the soldiers who had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time surrounded him, looking at Xu Mingzhu's dejected appearance, everyone suddenly knew the result, and their hearts couldn't help but sink.

"Madame......" Fang Lao said in the fifth period.

Xu Mingzhu's tears fell one after another like pearls with broken threads, and in the face of the eyes of the soldiers, Xu Mingzhu's heart was like a knife for a while, his mouth was deflated, and he finally cried loudly.

"Husband...... The husband can't be saved! ”

Fang Lao Wu lowered his head and sighed silently.

Not only for Li Beijia, but also for Xu Mingzhu.

No matter how glamorous the identity is, it will ...... after all It's just a kid.

At this moment, it was not only Xu Mingzhu who was sad, but Fang Lao Wu's heart was also as uncomfortable as a knife, as if he saw his daughter suffering a great grievance, and wanted to do something for her, but he didn't know how to do it.

"Don't worry, madam, what we have to do now is to quickly report the military situation in Xizhou to Your Majesty, please Your Majesty quickly send a military order, Yumen Pass refuses to help, let's rely on ourselves!" Fang Lao Wu said fiercely.

The words attracted all the soldiers to nod their heads in agreement and echo in unison.

Xu Mingzhu gradually stopped crying, and stood quietly in a daze, his eyes still blank, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Xu Mingzhu suddenly raised his sleeves and wiped them on his face, wiped away the tears on his face, and when he looked up again, his weak and beautiful face had a touch of fortitude.

"Only Yumen Pass can send troops immediately, in order to rush to Xizhou as soon as possible, waiting for His Majesty's will, waiting for the official documents of the three provinces is too slow, Xizhou is in danger, the husband is in danger, they can't wait......"

Fang Lao Wu was stunned: "Madame means ......"

Xu Mingzhu showed a rare ruthlessness, stared at the gate of the General's Mansion fixedly, and said fiercely: "If the husband dies, I don't want to live anymore, since I die left and right, why am I afraid of the laws and regulations of the country?" I...... To make a risky move, General Tian had to send troops! ”
