Chapter 197 Barracks Persuasion
It is false to not be understood by his former comrades and scold him like this, saying that Wang Xiaohu is not touched at all, and not sad. But on the way back, Wang Xiaohu had already heard that Dou Dejian had maintained his reputation and issued strict orders in the army.
Even if it is not for the sake of his own dignity, honor and disgrace, but for the sake of living up to Dou Dejian's trust.
Wang Xiaohu also forced himself to be incompatible with others' injustice. As long as he showed a slight guilt and timidity, people from other forces would be allowed to see Dou Dejian's jokes, mock Dou Dejian for not being accurate in viewing others, and to work hard to cultivate a ungrateful wolf.
At this time, when facing Dou Dejian alone, Wang Xiaohu couldn't control his emotions. On the one hand, he felt guilty for his "betrayal" Dou Dejian, and on the other hand, he was deeply hurt by others' abuse.
Dou Dejian could obviously see through Wang Xiaohu's disguise and his fragility under his strong appearance.
Without asking why Wang Xiaohu surrendered, he would not accuse Wang Xiaohu like others. Dou Dejian just comforted Wang Xiaohu in a gentle voice: "Brothers are all straightforward, don't take it to your heart. They just speak loudly and scold them badly, and they may not think so in their hearts."
Wang Xiaohu choked and replied: "I know."
Indeed, the soldiers' words were not nice, and the words were very unpleasant and unpleasant. But they might not necessarily hate Wang Xiaohu very much, and they were so angry that they were not ashamed of the disappointment and anger that suddenly knew that people who had been together day and night were betrayed by them.
This kind of anger is unreasonable and cannot be easily controlled.
The more intimate and trust I used to be, how angry and angry I am now.
This is the reason why the soldiers spoke badly to Wang Xiaohu, and it is also the reason why Wang Xiaohu could force himself to endure.
When Dou Dejian saw that Wang Xiaohu knew, he was no longer afraid that Wang Xiaohu would have a gap with other generals because of this. He waited for Wang Xiaohu to vent his emotions for a while and calmed down a little. He asked again: "Do you feel about Dongfang Ming when you are defeated this time?"
Dou Dejian deliberately used words and did not mention that Wang Xiaohu took the initiative to surrender.
Wang Xiaohu understood that Dou Dejian was taking care of his emotions, but Dou Dejian was willing to be generous and tolerant, which did not mean that he could tolerate himself hiding his own faults in concealment.
Wang Xiaohu. After pacifying for a while, he spoke: "I was fighting with Dongfang Ming and I once designed to severely damage Dongfang Ming. I was confident that I would make Dongfang Ming unable to turn things around. Unexpectedly, this person has a lot of magical powers and almost completely destroys all the subordinates' plans with his own strength."
Dou Dejian listened attentively and said nothing.
"The subordinates caused certain losses to Dongfang Ming's army, but Dongfang Ming was extremely wise and kept silent and minimized the losses. He almost lost much combat power."
"Dongfang Ming is unfathomable. Although his subordinates did not have the power to fight, they felt that they had little hope. They were afraid that they would fight too much and would make them angry. After breaking the city, they would kill them, which would harm innocent people, so they chose to open the city and surrender."
After Wang Xiaohu's words, his words were full of appreciation for Dongfang Ming's ability. Others would only think that Wang Xiaohu was using this to excuse him.
But Dou Dejian trusted Wang Xiaohu's words without hesitation and said to Wang Xiaohu gently: "You've been miserable."
After gaining the trust of his loyal people, Wang Xiaohu felt much more at ease. He continued: "After I surrendered, Dongfang Ming led his troops into the city, requiring his soldiers to not violate the people and strictly control his subordinates. Judging from his relationship with his subordinates, it can be seen that they have a strong relationship, and the execution of his orders by the upper and lower levels in the army is like using his fingers. From this we can see that Dongfang Ming has great prestige and good character."
"Why is he willing to let you come back?" Dou Dejian couldn't help asking curiously.
"I thought I could only be loyal to Dongfang Ming, but I secretly decided to keep my words in my heart about the general's affairs. Dongfang Ming took the lead in seeing that his subordinates were concerned about the general and proposed to let me go back, and took the initiative to return all the military talismans and order arrows.
I didn't understand the meaning at first. Until I heard that Dongfang Ming generously expressed his appreciation for me when answering the questions of his subordinates, and praised the general as a hero, and he did not hesitate to make friends with the general."
After a long list of words, Wang Xiaohu said without breathing: "Dongfang Ming is neither lacking super strength nor mind, but also has a broad mind and high vision. He is not a hero in the world today."
After hearing this, Dou Dejian nodded with great praise and said, "It sounds like Dongfang Ming is really a hero. It's so interesting that I can't help but want to make friends with him."
Wang Xiaohu was happy. Although he stood on Dou Dejian's side without any doubt, Wang Xiaohu also had no lack of admiration for Dongfang Ming who admired him.
If Dou Dejian and Dongfang Ming could reach a reconciliation without bloodshed and make friends with each other, Wang Xiaohu would certainly be happy to see such a situation occur.
Wang Xiaohu was about to try harder to persuade Dou Dejian, but a voice came from outside the tent: "Just! How could the general demote himself and make friends with a yellow-mouthed child!"
The two of them looked at the tent together, and a general dressed in military uniform and frivolous expression came in outside the tent.
Dou Dejian looked at the man coming in and called out his name: "Mingfang, you are here."
This person is a general under Dou Dejian, Du Mingfang.
Du Mingfang came in from outside the tent and looked at Wang Xiaohu with contempt. He just walked outside the tent and listened to Wang Xiaohu's words.
I heard Wang Xiaohu's praise for Dongfang Ming in and out of the way, and I didn't know what medicine he had given to the general, so I almost confused the general and wanted to make friends with the enemy's generals.
Du Mingfang was only grateful that he was in time, and even if he was later, the general would agree to make friends with Dongfang Ming.
Isn’t it ridiculous to make friends with the enemy generals?
"After Wang Duwei surrendered to the enemy, his temperament changed drastically." Looking at the sarcasm on Du Mingfang's face, he also knew that this was not a compliment to Wang Xiaohu.
Sure enough, Du Mingfang then said: "Is the servitude of Wang Duwei aroused, or is his heart already leaning against Dongfang Ming? Have you forgotten that Dongfang Ming is an enemy? How did he deal with us since he entered Hebei? I wonder what Wang Duwei thought, but he actually persuaded the general to make friends with a yellow-mouthed child who came out of nowhere. Isn't this let the general down his identity?"
After Du Mingfang's many sharp questions were broken, Wang Xiaohu really didn't know how to answer them for a moment.
Du Mingfang took advantage of the victory and continued: "If the general surrenders to the nobles and goes to make friends with such unknown little people, he will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world!"
Dou Dejian said silently.
Du Mingfang thought that his words touched Dou Dejian and looked at Wang Xiaohu provocatively.
"Dongfang Ming is not such a person, he deserves to make friends with. Besides, with his ability, he will become famous in this troubled times one day!" Wang Xiaohu couldn't hear Du Mingfang's statement so unbearable that he couldn't help but defend Dongfang Ming.
