Words Strategize for the World

I haven't been feeling well lately. I've been writing for so long, but there's been no support, no comments, and I don't know how to continue. I can only encourage myself from the bottom of my heart, and I hope everyone can understand a new author. I know my writing skills are still a bit immature, but I've been trying to find the reasons, hoping to live up to everyone's expectations. Sometimes, even a little support makes a difference. If you like my work, please give me some encouragement and tell me how you'd like me to write. Thank you.

---------------------------------------------

The next morning, Fang Wei had just gotten up and finished washing up when a servant brought him a package.

Inside, there are two letters, a charter, and a bronze plaque proving identity.

The first letter was written by Wang Yunzhi to Fang Wei. Its main content was to commend Fang Wei for his willingness to sacrifice for the country, which he greatly admired. He then told Fang Wei that he needed to report to the supply depot in the capital that morning and immediately travel with a supply unit to Beikangzhou, etc.

The second letter was a letter of recommendation, which Fang Wei did not open; it was probably addressed to military officers.

As for the bronze medal, it bears the character "雅" (elegant/refined), presumably signifying the wearer's status as a refined scholar. The regulations, on the other hand, consist of the various rules and regulations of the military.

With this information, Fang Wei knew how to proceed.

After putting down the package, Fang Wei went to Lanxi's room.

Standing outside the door, Fang Wei kept knocking, but Lanxi didn't come to open the door, and there was no response from inside.

Haven't they gotten up yet?

He gave it a gentle push, and to his surprise, the door creaked open.

The interior was completely visible, but there was no one there.

Lanxi is missing? Where did she go?

As I ran into the room, a faint fragrance filled the air.

This is the scent of Lanxi. It smells sweet, and there were no signs of a struggle, so it wasn't an accident. Could it be…?

Upon closer inspection, there was a letter on the table.

"Fang Wei, I have to leave first, please don't worry. I'll take good care of myself, and we'll meet again when the time comes. Take care!"

Lanxi has left.

After spending so much time together, her sudden departure left Fang Wei feeling lost and dejected. Why did she leave? Was it because I was going to the battlefield?

Maybe.

Since we've already left, there's no need for a sorrowful farewell.

Somewhat disappointed, he returned to his room, where Lai Fengwu was already waiting for him.

"Young Master, what should we do today?" Lai Fengwu asked, bowing respectfully.

"We'll go to the inn first, take Niu San and the others, and then go to the military camp together."

When Fang Wei brought Feng Wu to the inn, Niu San had already gotten up.

Niu San, in particular, was practicing boxing when Fang Wei and the other man arrived.

Fang Wei was not skilled in martial arts and could not understand the intricacies of Niu San's boxing techniques, but he could sense that they were very powerful.

"Niu San, what kind of martial art do you practice? It looks very powerful?"

Niu San was startled. He turned around and saw that it was the young master, so he cupped his hands and said, "Young master, I don't know either. This is something I learned from an old beggar I saved back in my hometown."

"Hmm, this boxing technique is quite good. You must practice diligently, and I'll entrust my safety to your protection."

Proactively delegating responsibilities to subordinates is a way to increase their sense of belonging.

Sure enough, Niu San was very excited when he heard that his life and safety were entrusted to his protection.

"Don't worry, young master. As long as Niu San is alive, he will not let you suffer any harm."

"Haha, good job, Niu San. Let's go to the military camp."

Niu San's promise proves that Fang Wei's method is correct.

Soon everyone arrived, and Fang Wei led them around asking questions until they finally reached the military camp north of the capital.

The military camp covered a vast area, spacious and imposing, with no civilian residences nearby. Two soldiers guarded the entrance. Their menacing aura was palpable, clearly indicating they were elite troops. On both sides of the perimeter were rows of soldiers resembling gatekeepers. Shouts and commands occasionally rang out from within the camp, clearly demonstrating the intensity of the army's training.

Fang Wei and his companions stood at the entrance of the military camp, feeling the solemnity and grandeur it exuded. This was what an army should be—a force that could protect their homeland.

Fang Wei was stopped by two tall guards at the entrance of the military camp: "Who goes there? This is a military camp, no loitering allowed."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Wei took out the bronze plaque and handed it to the gatekeeper.

"I am here on orders to report to the supply depot and prepare for battle. You may go and report first."

"Are you a scholar? Can you prove it?" the guard asked, puzzled.

There was indeed a bronze plaque in the package this morning, with the character "雅" (elegant) on it, used to prove the status of a refined person.

Fang Wei handed over the bronze medal and said, "Is it this bronze medal?"

The guard took it and examined it. On the bronze plaque was a clearly visible character for "elegance," indeed the military insignia of a refined scholar. This meant that the young gentleman was undoubtedly a refined scholar.

The guard spoke to Fang Wei with utmost respect: "Sir, I was merely following orders. Please do not take offense. Please come inside..."

Scholars are the most esteemed people in the world. Fang Wei paid no heed to the guards' respect and led the four men directly into the military camp.

Fang Wei was not familiar with the military camp. Although he had entered, he did not know who to report to or how to enlist.

After asking around, Fang Wei finally found the military camp's reporting office.

"Who are you? Why have you come to report at this time? Don't you know that the Hegemon Kingdom has already invaded my Blazing Kingdom?"

Upon arriving at the destination, Fang Wei was immediately berated by an official.

A young man like that—either he's just looking for fun, or he's from a powerful family. The officer looked at him with disdain, his face full of contempt.

"Don't worry, this is a letter of recommendation."

Fang Wei didn't bother to say anything more and simply handed over Wang Yunzhi's letter of recommendation.

After the officer finished reading, his initially dismissive expression gradually transformed from disdain to appreciation.

"Good, it's very good that you have a patriotic heart at such a young age. Now is a time of national crisis, and your participation in the war against the hegemonic country is exactly what we need. I will transfer you to a military position right away."

Wang Yunzhi's letter of recommendation must have played a significant role; things improved in no time.

Fang Wei was a scholar of the Law level, but he had not yet grown up, so he was directly promoted to Infantry Commander and could lead 10 soldiers. Lai Fengwu, Niu San, and 4 others became his subordinates.

Among the four, Lai Fengwu is the most cunning, and Niu San is the most courageous.

Therefore, Fang Wei appointed Feng Wu as the leader of the three, so that if they had to separate, they would have someone in charge.

"I'll write down what weapons you need, and then you can go to the quartermaster to collect them."

Fang Wei himself didn't need weapons, but Niu San and the others did.

After ascertaining the three people's needs, the weapons were quickly obtained, and all of them were of high quality.

Having connections is great; everything went smoothly. This also made Niu San and his two companions realize that the young master they were following was someone with connections.

Everything was done in no more than the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn. All that was left was to find the supply train for the expedition and join them.

Upon entering the military camp, Fang Wei saw a team organizing and moving supplies at the entrance, which he assumed was the place.

When he proved that he was going to accompany them to North Connecticut, the officers of the supply corps were very welcoming.

No matter what, this young man is a refined scholar, and he is also a fighting force. The official's thinking is very practical.

Around noon, after everything was ready, the supply battalion set off.

This marks the beginning of Fang Wei's campaign, an unknown journey that requires more than just courage.

Will the journey be smooth sailing?

Nobody knows.
