Although the military of the Western Expedition has come to an end temporarily, the camp is still very busy, especially those officials who are in charge of affairs, often holding multiple positions, and they are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground.

For example, in just half a day, Wen Fangzhi handled the sending and receiving of dozens of battalions, so much so that when he saw the strong man with the appearance of a soldier commander walking nearby, he felt his fingers tremble.

The smooth and efficient operation of the entire war and administrative apparatus is based on the busy work of these inconspicuous swordsmen and penmen.

Originally, with Wen Fangzhi's qualifications and MG, there was no need to personally enter the camp to be responsible for such heavy low-level affairs. However, he served at the beginning of the year and went north in the autumn, and there was no specific position in Xingtai for the time being, and there were many affairs in the Western Expedition and there was a lack of manpower, so he also went out with the army, and by the way, he honed his ability to do things that had been idle for a few years and was no longer lacking in rustiness.

The death of his father has brought quite a lot of changes to Wen Fangzhi, and the most important point is that the whole person's temperament tends to be calm, and there are few more impetuous attitudes of Meng Lang in previous years.

Now, although he is in charge of small matters, Wen Fangzhi can not be arrogant or impatient, and handle it in an orderly manner, so that many sergeants who enter and leave are completely unaware that the person who is dealing with them at the moment is actually an out-and-out powerful person with the rank of duke of the county.

Of course, Wen Fangzhi's current despicability is not deliberately cold to the general, in fact, long before the mourning clothes are removed, Wen Fangzhi already has his own ideas about the future, and wrote a letter to ask the general and got a response. It's just that the timing is still a little lacking at the moment, so I temporarily succumbed to the camp.

Wen Fangzhi's willingness to do so also played a very positive role model for some young people in the industry.

Although he was not the most senior under the command of the general, he also had a lot of deeds to be said for many years, and after his father's death, he inherited his county dukedom, so he was able to endure his hard work and resentment, which to a certain extent also dispelled the resentment of those young officials who were born in the family or selected from the Xinshi Pavilion were pretentious and thought that they were talented and despicable.

Although the military affairs are busy, they are better than being organized and everything can be run in an orderly manner, eliminating the need for miscellaneous and cumbersome combing, so after being busy for more than two hours, Wen Fangzhi has to be free, and seals many documents that have been processed, and then leaves this tent and turns to his accommodation.

The camp where Wen Fangzhi lived was located on a medium-sized dock wall on the east side of the Great General's Camp and near the Weishui River Valley.

Walking to the front of the camp gate, Wen Fangzhi found that a more familiar figure was lingering on the left, and then took a closer look, only to find that it was Murong Ke, so he smiled and said hello: "Why is Brother Xuan Gong lingering here?" ”

Hearing Wen Fangzhi's voice, Murong Ke's face suddenly showed a little surprise, and he turned around and walked far away and said, "This trip is to visit Hongzu, and I didn't expect to meet on the left side of the road." It seems that you can't avoid me today. ”

"Brother Xian said that, I am going to be dissatisfied. I, an impetuous idler, am most afraid of being lonely on the seat, how can I treat people as evil guests. ”

Wen Fangzhi quipped angrily, and then stepped forward to grab Murong Ke's wrist and invited him to join the camp.

When Murong Ke came to the south, Wen Fangzhi was in charge of reception. Later, although Wen Fangzhi lived in Jiankang for several years and could not see each other, Murong Ke has always maintained this friendship diligently, and he has to send people to pay homage every New Year's Day, and he has never slackened, so this friendship has not been estranged with the passage of time, but has increased over the years.

Of course, Wen Fangzhi also understood why Murong Ke treated him like this, and he would not introduce Murong Ke as a confidant because of such a courtesy.

After all, although his father is no longer there, but the shade is still strong, he himself is a good friend of the general, and his younger brother Wen Shizhi is the emperor's son-in-law and brother-in-law with the general.

The two of them sat down separately at Wen Fang's lodging, and Wen Fangzhi sighed: "Before mourning for a long time and disappearing people, the old days were good and gradually estranged. But Brother Xuangong has not abandoned me for a long time, and I have a lot of feelings for this, but it is a pity that it is difficult to make a feast to entertain Brother Xian, and I hope that Brother Xuangong will not blame me for being rude. ”

After hearing this, Murong Ke hurriedly waved his hand and said what happened, and then asked Wen Fangzhi with concern how he was doing, and there was even a little flattery between his words.

It's really no wonder that he is like this, because although he has been in Zhongzhou for a long time and has made some contacts, because of his special identity, the only person among these connections who can really reach the core of the upper echelons of the platform is Wen Fang. The reason why he was embarrassed by his uncle Murong Yun in the past few years is actually related to Wen Fangzhi's mourning.

General Shen was in charge of the stage, even if he looked at Murong Ke a little differently, but because he was busy with official business, it was impossible to summon him to meet and talk from time to time. And without Wen Fangzhi's path, he would be able to meet General Shen even rarer, and even if he did, it was only in some public occasions, and there was no opportunity to talk deeply.

Therefore, for the friendship with Wen Fangzhi, Murong Ke also attaches great importance to it. Especially his layout this time, if it is without Wen Fangzhi's recognition and cooperation, there is no possibility of success.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Murong Ke also saw that there was no lack of tiredness between Wen Fangzhi's eyebrows, so he no longer made more politeness, and sighed and said: "Duke Wen passed away, Wang Ye lost a heavy minister, and there was a lot of grief in the sea. It's a pity that I am not a calm physique, and I can't pay my respects in person, and I still think it's a shame to think about it......"

When Wen Fangzhi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, what did Murong Ke mean by this, he could guess about eight or nine, so he was a little dissatisfied with the other party's deliberate use of his father's death to provoke his sympathy, so his tone became slightly indifferent: "Those who are sons of man dare not talk about their father's affairs." But life is shortened, and all are from creation, and it is already a blessing that everyone can be worthy of it. Farewell to flesh and blood, sincerity is the pain of the heart, but to uphold the will not to lose, dare not think about the ancestral spirit, to self-harm as the beauty. ”

Hearing Wen Fangzhi say this, Murong Ke was a little embarrassed, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Hongzu, you can have such an open-minded and enterprising heart, I really admire and am gratified. The son of a famous father is really unusual, and it is not comparable to the vulgar flow of me. ”

"I haven't asked yet, why is Brother Xuan Gong visiting today? If there are any difficulties or difficulties, I hope to speak out and do not see anything else. ”

was provoked by the pain of losing his father, Wen Fangzhi's mood also became depressed, and he was in no mood to do any more boring greetings, so he simply asked directly.

Seeing the hidden change in Wen Fangzhi's attitude, Murong Ke also secretly regretted his words, there are not many ways for him to take advantage of the situation at hand, and the slightest deviation may lead to a vacuum, so his mood has become a little troublesome.

"I'm a lonely guest in a distant country, how fortunate I can get the favor of the Father's Door, this affection can be remembered and never forgotten!"

Murong Ke bowed deeply again from the middle of the seat, and his eyes were already slightly red when he said this, and he was indeed not lacking in emotion, but in addition to being grateful for Wen Fang's care, he was more grateful for the hardship and misery of his own situation.

"Come to see you today, and there is indeed a time to ask Hongzu. But in addition to his own sorrows, he is indeed grateful for the reputation of the Wen Gong Zhuang Festival, and I hope to make a little benefit to Hongzu you. ”

Speaking of this, Murong Ke straightened up, and saw that Wen Fangzhi was faintly touched and curious, so he spoke again: "Since the westward march with the army this time, I have seen all the magnificent deeds of Wang Shi, although I am arrogant, but I am also deeply encouraged and excited, and I am glad that the revival of Sheji is hopeful!" The general is benevolent and brave, there is no obstacle in recovering Guanzhong, sweeping the court, and pacifying Hebei is just around the corner! I, a useless waste, also hope to be able to do my best for Master Wang's strong deeds. ”

"Although my family is the gateway to the border barbarians, but it is also a reward for the life of the king of Jiuhe, in the past few years, in addition to supporting the Liaobian alone, he also worked hard to help the king, in order to be able to divide the military strength of the country a little, in order to alleviate the crisis in the Central Plains, and not afraid of the resentment of the country. Now that Wang Shi is strong, Hebei Shiyi must also know that its momentum has been difficult for a long time. Now that the army of the king is biased towards the west, I regard Hongzu as a confidant, and I do not shy away from saying that I am timid and afraid, and the stone thief has to slow down the disease in the south, I am really afraid that his fierce flames will resurge, and I will take advantage of this gap to make Wu Liaobian kill my family......"

And so it was.

Wen Fangzhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and felt that the general really understood the situation on all sides. But his face still showed a little embarrassment: "It turns out that Brother Xuan Gong is trapped here, which makes me not know how to respond." Brother Xuan Gong, you also know that I have been leaving for a long time, and I don't know much about the current situation of all parties, if Brother Xuan Gong is just a little trapped, I will help you no matter what. But if I am trapped in the heavy affairs of the military state, I really dare not speak up, lest I mislead others and myself. ”

"Hongzu, you are willing to listen to my heart for a while, I am already very pleased. As for where the Wang division and soldiers are used, how dare I disturb the general's thinking with personal feelings. ”

After hearing this, Murong Ke sat down in a gloomy manner, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all, quite a sense of depression with tea instead of wine: "It's just that thinking of the severe disaster in the countryside is not far away, and I also have the pain of ten thousand knives in my heart." In fact, my family is not afraid of the fierce situation of the thieves, and has already expected such an end. If it is just the pain of the loss of flesh and blood of relatives, it is only a battle to the death. However, there are many Jin people in various borders of Liaobian, who live by food, and in the end, they hug each other and die together, and my family is really guilty......"

"So I want to ask Hongzu to congratulate the general on my behalf, hoping that the general can send a talent to the north of the minister's festival, and recruit and gather the Liaobian Jin people and the Zhongye Hu Guangzuo, and not only stifle the thief's power a little, but also give those poor people a way to live."

Speaking of this, Murong Ke looked up at Wen Fangzhi again and said: "Actually, I am deeply hoping that Hongzu can do this for you, in previous years, Duke Wen traveled south, and supported Zhengshuo in Jiangbiao, and now Hongzu you promise to caress the border, save all the people in the border, father and son continue to strength, in and out of loyalty and bravery, and this is a magnificent story for this world!" And I am also willing to do my best to help Hongzu create special merits, help each other in life and death, and have this confidant and friendship! ”
