Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1172
Although the Western Expedition has temporarily come to an end, the camp is still very busy, especially those officials who are in charge of general affairs, who often hold several positions and are so busy that they never touch the ground.

For example, in just half a day, Wen Fangzhi handled the sending and receiving of materials and equipment for dozens of battalions, so much so that when he saw a strong man with the appearance of a soldier passing by, he felt his fingers trembling faintly.

The reason why the entire Xingtai war and administrative machinery can run smoothly and efficiently is based on the busy work of these humble officials.

Originally, with Wen Fangzhi's qualifications and magnificence, he didn't need to personally enter the camp to be responsible for such a heavy low-level affairs.However, he served at the beginning of the year and went north in autumn, and he has no specific position in Xingtai for the time being. In addition, there are many western expeditions and lack of manpower. General affairs ability.

The death of his father has brought about quite a big change to Wen Fangzhi. The most important point is that his whole temperament has become calmer, and he rarely has the impetuous attitude of Meng Lang in previous years.

Even though he is in charge of trivial matters, Wen Fangzhi can handle them in an orderly manner without arrogance or impetuosity, so that many sergeants in and out of the country have no idea that the person dealing with them is an out-and-out dignitary with the title of a county duke figure.

Of course, Wen Fangzhi's current humiliation was not the general's deliberate indifference. In fact, long before the mourning clothes were removed, Wen Fangzhi had already had his own ideas about future work, and wrote to the general for instructions and got his consent.It's just that there is still a little lack of opportunity at the moment, so I temporarily succumbed to the camp.

Wen Fang's willingness to do so has also set a very positive example for some less progressive people.

Although he is not the most experienced under the general's command, he has a lot of deeds to report on his years of service. After his father died, he inherited the title of duke of the county. With such a prominent family background, he can still bear his temper and work hard, which is also dispelled to a certain extent. The young officials who came from aristocratic families or were selected from the Xinshi Pavilion were not resentful of their pretentiousness and self-importance.

Although the various military affairs are busy, they are better than orderly, everything can be run in an orderly manner, eliminating the need for messy and tedious sorting, so after being busy for more than two hours, Wen Fangzhi is free and will deal with After sealing up many of the completed documents, he left this bank account and turned to his own lodging.

The tent where Wen Fangzhi lives is located in a medium-sized dock on the east side of the general’s camp, near the Weishui River valley. Although the wind and cold here are cold, the environment is quiet, free from noise and disturbance, and can ensure adequate rest. .

Walking to the gate of the camp, Wen Fangzhi found a familiar figure lingering around, and when he got a closer look, he found that it was Murong Ke, so he greeted with a smile: "Brother Xuan Gong, why are you wandering around?" Here?"

Hearing Wen Fangzhi's voice, Murong Ke's face suddenly showed a little surprise. He turned around and walked far away, then cupped his hands and said: "This trip is to visit Hongzu, but unexpectedly we met on the left side of the road. It seems that I am here today. Bad guy, you can't avoid it."

"Brother Xian said that, I will be dissatisfied. I am a restless idler, and I am most afraid of the loneliness in the seat, so how can I treat people as evil guests."

Wen Fangzhi feigned anger and joked, then stepped forward and grabbed Murong Ke's wrist, inviting him to enter the camp with him.

At the beginning when Murong Ke came to the south, it was Wen Fangzhi who was in charge of receiving him.Later, although Wen Fangzhi was mourned and lived in Jiankang for several years and could not see each other, Murong Ke has always maintained this friendship diligently. He would send someone to pay a visit every new year, and he never neglected, so this friendship also It didn't become alienated with the passage of time, but it has gained in the past few years.

Of course, Wen Fangzhi also understands why Murong Ke treats him like this, and he wouldn't make Murong Ke his heart-to-heart confidant just because of such kindness.

After all, although his father is no longer there, the shadow is still strong. He himself is a good friend of the general, and his younger brother Wen Shizhi is also the emperor's brother-in-law with the general, even if he has been silent for several years. , There has never been a shortage of courteous people walking around under the door.

The two returned to Wen Fang's lodging and took their seats. Wen Fangzhi sighed and said, "I've been living in mourning for a long time, before people disappeared, and my old friends have gradually become estranged. But Brother Xuan Gong has never abandoned me for a long time, and I am also because of this." I feel a lot of gratitude, but it's a pity that the army lives in a simple house, and it's really difficult to entertain brother Xian with a feast, and I hope brother Xuan Gong won't blame me for being rude."

After Murong Ke heard the words, he quickly waved his hands and asked what happened, and then asked Wen Fangzhi how he was doing with concern, and there was even a bit of flattery in his words.

It is really no wonder that he is like this, because although he has been in Zhongzhou for a long time and has made some contacts, but because of his special status, among these contacts, only one person, Wen Fang, can really reach the core of the upper level of Xingtai.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 Da is in charge of the Xingtai, even if he looks at Murong Ke differently, but because of his busy schedule, it is impossible to call him to meet and chat frequently.And without Wen Fangzhi's path, the chances for him to meet General Shen were even rarer. Even if he saw him occasionally, it was only in some public places, and there was little chance for him to talk about it in depth.

Therefore, Murong Ke also attaches great importance to the friendship with Wen Fangzhi.In particular, his plan this time, without Wen Fangzhi's approval and cooperation, would have no chance of success.

After the two sides exchanged small greetings, Murong Ke also saw that Wen Fang's brows were full of tiredness, so he stopped making more polite remarks and said with a long sigh: "Wen Gong passed away, Wang Ye lost his important minister, and the country is so sad. It's a pity that I am not With a calm physique, it is a pity that I can't pay homage to him in person..."

Hearing this, Wen Fangzhi frowned slightly. He could probably guess what Murong Ke meant here, so he was a little dissatisfied that the other party deliberately used the death of his father to tease his sympathetic heart, so his tone of voice He also became a little indifferent: "As a son of man, I dare not talk about my father's affairs. But life is shortened, and we all follow the good fortune. It is a blessing for everyone to be able to live without shame. Farewell to flesh and blood, it is really a heart-wrenching pain, I just hope that I will not lose my legacy, don't dare to think about it and disturb the ancestors, and use self-injury as beauty."

Hearing what Wen Fangzhi said, Murong Ke felt a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he said again: "Hongzu, you have such an open-minded and enterprising spirit. I really admire and am gratified. The son of a famous father is really unusual. Not to mention my kind of vulgarity."

"I haven't asked yet, why is Brother Xuan Gong visiting today? If you have any difficulties, please speak up and don't make excuses."

Wen Fangzhi's mood became depressed after being raised about the pain of losing his father, and he was even less in the mood to make any boring greetings, so he simply asked questions directly.

Seeing the subtle change in Wen Fang's attitude, Murong Ke also secretly regretted his slip of the tongue. There are really not many ways for him to take advantage of the situation at present, and if he makes a slight deviation, he may conspire in vain, so his mood has become a little worried about gains and losses.

"I am a lonely guest from a faraway country. How lucky am I to be cared by Yuan Xun's family? This feeling can be engraved in my heart, and I will never forget it!"

Murong Ke stood up from the table and made another deep obeisance. His eyes were slightly red when he talked about it, and he was indeed emotional. But besides being grateful to Wen Fang for his care, he was more grateful for the hardship and desolation of his own situation.

"I came to see you today, and I do ask Hongzu for a while. But apart from my own worries, I also really feel for the fame of Wen Gong's Zhuang Festival. I hope I can do a little bit of benefit for you, Hongzu."

Having said this, Murong Ke straightened up, and seeing Wen Fangzhi's touch and curiosity, he opened his mouth again: "Since I followed the army westward this time, I have seen all kinds of deeds of Wang Shizhuang. I am deeply encouraged, and I am glad that the revival of the country is hopeful! The general is benevolent and brave, and there is no obstacle in recovering Guanzhong. Sweeping the court and pacifying Hebei are just around the corner! I am useless and useless, and I also hope that I can do my best for Wang Shizhuang .”

"Although my family is a border barbarian family, it was also rewarded by King Jiuhe. In the past few years, when I supported the Liao border alone, I also worked hard to help the king's affairs, in order to divide the army of the Jie country a little, so as to ease the crisis in the Central Plains. Don't be afraid. Therefore, grudges against the country of Jie. Now that Wang Shi is strong and strong, Hebei Shini must know that it is not going to last long. Now Wang Shi's army is focusing on the west. I regard Hongzu as my confidant, so I can't deny that I am timid and fearful. The stone thief has to slow down in the south. I'm sick and tired, I'm really afraid that his ferocious flames will flare up again, and take advantage of this gap to use martial arts to kill my family..."

Sure enough.

Wen Fangzhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and felt that the general had a deep understanding of the situation and people's hearts on all sides.But he still showed some difficulty on his face: "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 away from work for a long time, and the current situation of all parties is even more serious. I don't know much, but if you are only a little trapped, brother Xuan Gong, I will help you no matter what. But if you are trapped in important military affairs, I really dare not speak falsely, so as not to confuse others and myself."

"Hongzu, you are willing to listen to my heartfelt confession, I am already very pleased. As for what Wang Shibing will use, how dare I disturb the general Simou with my personal feelings."

After hearing the words, Murong Ke sat down slumpedly, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, feeling a sense of depression with tea instead of wine: "Just thinking that the severe disaster in my hometown is not far away, I also have a thousand swords in my heart. In fact, my family is not afraid of the ferocity of Jie thieves, defending the soil and self-improvement, and I have already expected this kind of end. If it is only the pain of losing the flesh and blood of relatives, we can only fight to the death. However, there are many Jin people traveling in various borders Relying on shelter to survive and end up embracing and dying together, my family is really guilty..."

"So I would like to ask Hongzu to tell the general on my behalf. I hope that the general will send a talented minister to go northward to appease the Jin people from the Liao border and Hu Guang from the middle of the border. In addition to curbing the power of the bandits, it can also give those poor people a way of life."

Speaking of this, Murong Ke looked up at Wen Fangzhi and said, "Actually, I really hope that Hongzu will do this. Thousands of people live in the frontier, father and son continue their efforts, go in and out with loyalty and bravery, this is a magnificent story for this world! And I am willing to do my best to help Hongzu create special achievements, life and death help each other, all this is a good friend!"
