唐大順中，佐葛從周送朱崇節入潞。 In Dashun of Tang he helped Ge Congzhou escort Zhu Chongjie into Lu.

會晉軍十餘萬近逼垣寨，文靖慮孤軍難守，乃與葛從周啟出師，文靖為殿，命矢刃皆外向，持重而還，晉人不敢逼。 When more than a hundred thousand Jin troops pressed the camp, Wenjing and Ge Congzhou slipped out by night; Wenjing covered the rear with weapons turned outward and withdrew in good order while the Jin held back.

光化初，晉將李嗣昭、周德威寇於山東，文靖佐葛從周統大軍禦之。 Early in Guanghua, when Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei raided Shandong, Wenjing joined Ge Congzhou in commanding the main army against them.
