Chapter 196 Return to Camp
Dongfang Ming did not really regard himself as the dog of the court and could make friends, so why did he make enemies for the court?
Dongfang Ming also has his own principles when doing things. If his opponent has the way to die, Dongfang Ming will not show mercy; on the contrary, if his opponent's life is not despair, Dongfang Ming is not stingy with putting down his weapons and reconciliation.
Cui Ning didn't expect that the real reason was this. Dongfang Ming actually made friends with the enemy leader he had never met.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed Dongfang Ming's usual style of doing things. Whenever others think that he should do this as usual, he will do the opposite.
Since Dongfang Ming gave a reason, no matter whether everyone thought it was ridiculous or not, he could only accept it.
However, Dongfang Ming did not expect that his words would be transmitted to Wang Xiaohu's ears through some methods.
Wang Xiaohu was grateful to Dongfang Ming for his willingness to let him go back to Dou Dejian. He could see Dongfang Ming's appreciation for him. Therefore, he admired Dongfang Ming's character even more.
A love for talent can be seen.
Wang Xiaohu made up his mind in his heart that if he meets Dongfang Ming on the battlefield in the future, he will definitely repay his kindness and repay Dongfang Ming's favor today.
Dongfang Ming had no intention of forcing Wang Xiaohu to stay.
Then, it is not difficult for Wang Xiaohu to pass through the Hebei region. After all, he is a trusted general under Dou Dejian.
Wang Xiaohu brought his subordinates who were loyal to him and Dou Dejian back to Dou Dejian's office.
The one who arrived at Dou Dejian’s military camp earlier than Wang Xiaohu was the news that Wang Xiaohu was defeated by Dongfang Ming.
If you are simply defeated by Dongfang Ming because your skills are not as good as others, it is not particularly unacceptable. After all, Dou Dejian himself once said sincerely that Dongfang Ming's strength is unfathomable and is absolutely comparable to that of an extraordinary person.
Moreover, Wang Xiaohu has a lesson in the past, Cao Zhan.
What really caused great controversy among Dou Dejian's subordinates was that Wang Xiaohu surrendered voluntarily.
It is not the same concept as skilled people and taking the initiative to admit defeat.
When the news came back to Dou Dejian's military camp, the whole army was in an uproar.
Many soldiers felt that Wang Xiaohu had rebelled and was no longer loyal to Dou Dejian. They all cursed Wang Xiaohu indignantly and rebuked the soldiers who failed to fight.
Especially those close friends who were very loyal to Dou Dejian's reaction was particularly intense.
Since Wang Xiaohu can surrender voluntarily, who knows whether he will betray Dou Dejian’s secrets to Dongfangming in order to save his life.
Dou Dejian has always deeply trusted Wang Xiaohu's ability. Therefore, Wang Xiaohu participated in many important matters and decisions of Dou Dejian. Therefore, Wang Xiaohu has many secrets of Dou Dejian's army in his hands.
Not to mention anything else, Dou Dejian's army's defense, the garrison layout of several important cities, and Dou Dejian's army's supply routes are everywhere. Anyway Wang Xiaohu says it, Dou Dejian and his army can be severely damaged.
If Wang Xiaohu is really so shameless, wouldn’t Dou Dejian be inferior in the confrontation with Dongfang Ming?
The soldiers were in a state of great enthusiasm, as if they could take Wang Xiaohu's life immediately.
People kept coming to Dou Dejian to fight, trying to wipe out Wang Xiaohu who betrayed Dou Dejian.
Dou Dejian defeated the soldiers in the army's criticism of Wang Xiaohu and said, "Wang Xiaohu chose to surrender voluntarily, with his own considerations. I believe that his character will never do anything treacherous."
On the one hand, Dou Dejian unswervingly trusted Wang Xiaohu's character and would not do anything to sell himself; on the other hand, he considered that no matter what reason Wang Xiaohu surrendered, he was now considered to be his other leader. In order for Wang Xiaohu's new master not to suspect Wang Xiaohu's loyalty, he made it difficult for him.
Dou Dejian ordered the soldiers in the army not to argue and slander Wang Xiaohu.
Not only that, Dou Dejian also strictly prohibited the soldiers of the army from seeking revenge on Wang Xiaohu in private.
Wang Xiaohu was not in front of him, and Dou Dejian did not allow the soldiers to go out privately. Therefore, the soldiers could still suppress their anger.
However, after the news that Wang Xiaohu led his people back to the camp came back, the soldiers could not hold back.
The closer Wang Xiaohu got to Dou Dejian's camp, the more ready the soldiers were, thinking about waiting for Wang Xiaohu to come back and beat him up. Dou Dejian didn't let them go out to find Wang Xiaohu, and Wang Xiaohu "got into the trap", so we can't blame them for not showing mercy, right?
Therefore, on the day when Wang Xiaohu returned to the camp, what greeted him was not cheering and hugging, but the questioning and hatred eyes of his former colleagues.
Dou Dejian has a strong appeal in his army, otherwise he would not have gathered an army of 300,000.
This is one of the most powerful forces north of Chang'an.
To put it bluntly, Dou Dejian is actually a rebel. Although it is not nice to say, Dou Dejian's people's expectations in Hebei are unexpectedly good.
Many people were living a miserable life. They blamed the heavens and the earth, but they never said "Dou Dejian was completely destined to be conscience."
Anyone who meets along the way of Dongfangming, when it comes to Dou Dejian, is a well-known person.
This aroused Dongfang Ming's great curiosity and wanted to make friends with Dou Dejian. It was also an opportunity for Dongfang Ming to generously let Wang Xiaohu leave.
Because Wang Xiaohu was loyal to Dou Dejian, he knew that following Dongfang Ming would have a better future, but he chose to return to Dou Dejian's subordinates.
But the other generals who followed Dou Dejian would not be less loyal to Dou Dejian than Wang Xiaohu.
The firmer Wang Xiaohu's determination to return to Dou Dejian's side, the more he hated Wang Xiaohu's choice to surrender voluntarily.
Wang Xiaohu's decision to return would not make the soldiers feel angry. Instead, they became even more angry.
It’s not a big deal for the soldiers. It’s hard for them to accept Wang Xiaohu back into the group without any grudges.
A person who once chose to betray himself will come back to his side. No one will feel relieved, but will doubt whether the person has ulterior motives.
All kinds of criticism and difficulties were expected by Wang Xiaohu before returning to the camp. Therefore, before he went to see Dou Dejian, he was always calm in the face of the accusations from his former comrades.
Neither ashamed of his choice nor was he angry at those unpleasant words. Wang Xiaohu just stood outside Dou Dejian's camp without hesitation, calmly accepting the doubts of the soldiers.
In this case, perhaps it was because the scolding was not responded to, or perhaps it was because Wang Xiaohu's calm attitude aroused the favor of some people. The scolding gradually subsided, and Dou Dejian's account finally heard from Wang Xiaohu to go in.
Wang Xiaohu was still calm in the face of the accusations from other generals.
When he saw Dou Dejian, Dou Dejian had not had time to speak.
Wang Xiaohu knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and shouted: "I have the entrusted general by him and surrender without fighting. I am not worthy of the general's mercy."
As he said that, Wang Xiaohu looked up and Dou Dejian saw his face clearly and was covered in tears.
