Chapter 711 Psychological Tactics
Wang Wenzhou's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "Baby, baby, don't be silly! Really?"
"Hmph!" Wen Liandie said irritably, "Why would I lie to you?"
Wang Wenzhou pouted and said aggrievedly, "Baby, you've lied to me enough, haven't you? You're clearly having an affair with some other man..."
Before Wang Wenzhou could finish speaking, Wen Liandie got really angry. "You rascal, even now you still don't believe me? I'm someone else's wife now. I only came here to let you bully me because of you, and you still don't believe me?"
"Slap!" Wen Liandie turned around and slapped Wang Wenzhou across the face, angrily saying, "Wang Wenzhou, do you think I'm like you? Since we got together, I've never lied to you about anything!"
"Huh?" Gao Guiying and Wang Lin were stunned. These two young women hadn't been with Wang Wenzhou for long and had never seen Liu Rushi slap Wang Wenzhou so hard. They were truly unprepared. In their eyes, a woman hitting a man was absolutely wrong and would definitely bring her great misfortune.
But things took an unexpected turn. Instead of turning hostile, Wang Wenzhou hugged Wen Liandie and kissed her.
After the kiss, Wang Wenzhou said tenderly, "Baby, baby, I'm sorry, it was all my fault!"
Wen Liandie rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou and asked irritably, "Are you really not concerned about whether Liu Rushi lives or dies?"
Wang Wenzhou frowned, looking Wen Liandie up and down. He couldn't understand why she would lie to him, even though this baby wasn't his own. Could it be that Zhu Youjian couldn't handle the pressure? Did he think that if he pressed his advantage, he could take the capital?
"Baby, are you sure this is my Ruru?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
Wen Liandie replied, "Although she didn't speak to me, I recognized her at a glance. She is Sister Liu Rushi."
"Oh!" Wang Wenzhou nodded and continued, "Zhu Youjian sent you here quickly because he wanted to tell me that if I attacked the city again, he would kill Ruru?"
Wen Liandie said with a wry smile, "Stop joking! You come from the Xinjian Earl's Mansion. How can you face your ancestors with such a treasonous rebellion? The Emperor asked me to pass on a message to you: as long as you stop attacking the city and return to Hanshan, he will pretend that this never happened, and you can still be your local emperor in Hanshan."
"Baby, be good, I know!" Wang Wenzhou continued to sleep.
Wen Liandie shook her head with a wry smile. She couldn't understand what was wrong with Wang Wenzhou. Knowing him as she did, he would eat shit even if Liu Rushi asked him to. But this guy didn't seem to care at all about the fact that the little bitch Liu Rushi was in the Emperor's hands?
Wang Wenzhou wasn't indifferent to Liu Rushi; rather, he simply didn't believe she was still alive. He guessed it was just a delaying tactic by Zhu Youjian. Of course, he didn't think Wen Liandie would lie to him. After all, if a girl who broke up with you still wants you to sleep with her, it means she still cares about you; she generally wouldn't betray you.
He guessed that Zhu Youjian must have found a girl who looked like Liu Rushi, which was why Wen Liandie hadn't spoken to Liu Rushi. Because if Liu Rushi opened her mouth, she would definitely give herself away.
"Baby, baby, don't waste food, eat it quickly! You haven't eaten in a long time, do you miss my taste?" Wang Wenzhou asked seriously.
Wen Liandie smiled bitterly to herself, thinking, "My dear nemesis, can't you be a little more serious?"
After Wang Wenzhou finished his fuss, Wen Liandie started getting dressed, asking as she did so, "How am I supposed to report back to the Emperor?"
Wang Wenzhou held Wen Liandie in his arms and said tenderly, "Baby, baby, don't go. Stay with me, okay?"
"Sigh..." Wen Liandie sighed and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, my son is still waiting for his mother!"
Wang Wenzhou said sadly, "Baby, why don't you divorce him and marry me? I'll raise your son as my own. You know, all my little flowers are dead!"
"You rascal, can you please stop being so shameless?" Wen Liandie thought bitterly. "Back then, you didn't trust me and kept digging traps to provoke me. I fell into the traps, and you sold me out. Now you remember how good I was to you?"
Wen Liandie deeply regretted coming to see Wang Wenzhou, because she really wanted to stay. But she was too ashamed to stay. After all, it would be too humiliating if word got out. She had already lost face once; she had long since stopped using the name Wen Liandie, and she didn't want to be humiliated again.
Moreover, staying by Wang Wenzhou's side and constantly bickering with those bitches wasn't the kind of life she wanted.
"Stop fooling around! I still have to go back and report to the Emperor. How am I supposed to report to the Emperor?" Wen Liandie asked.
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Baby, go back and tell Zhu Youjian that Liu Rushi killed my son, and I wish I could kill her! It would be best if Zhu Youjian tied her to the city wall tomorrow and let the soldiers take turns sleeping with her until she dies!"
Wen Liandie frowned, looking at Wang Wenzhou with suspicion. She truly hadn't expected her nemesis to be so heartless. Could it be that Liu Rushi really had killed Zhang Xiaohua?
Wait a minute? Given his attitude towards that bitch Liu Rushi, even if she killed Zhang Xiaohua, he wouldn't act like this.
"Do you really want me to say that?" Wen Liandie asked.
"Okay!" Wang Wenzhou nodded and said seriously, "Baby, just tell Zhu Youjian that. Also, go back and tell your grandfather, Wen Tiren, to think it over carefully. Whether he wants to resist Zhu Youjian to the end or follow me."
For Lao Wen, it makes no difference whether Zhu Youjian or I become emperor; he'll always be the Grand Secretary! Besides, Lao Wen has our relationship; my bond with Lao Wen is deeper than Zhu Youjian's with Lao Wen!
Wen Liandie rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "You rascal, my grandfather would never betray his master for personal gain."
Wang Wenzhou continued, "Furthermore, tell Lao Wen that my troops suffered heavy casualties during the forced siege, and my men are bloodthirsty. They want to commit massacres and looting after the city is breached. Therefore, I'm giving Lao Wen three days to consider. If you don't surrender after three days, the people of the capital will face annihilation once the city falls. Let Lao Wen think carefully for the sake of the people of the capital; for their sake, it's best to surrender."
Wen Liandie nodded with a wry smile. It seemed this nemesis was determined to fight the Emperor to the death. No wonder, the Emperor had killed his entire family; even if he loved Liu Rushi, he certainly wouldn't give up the chance for revenge.
No sooner had Wen Liandie left than Wang Wenzhou ordered hot air balloons to be used to distribute leaflets throughout the capital. The leaflets contained the very words he had wanted to say to Wen Tiren.
He told the people of the capital that he would give them three more days. If they did not surrender after three days, he would launch a forced attack on the city, and once the city fell, his soldiers would slaughter the people of the capital for three days.
This is essentially psychological warfare; Wang Wenzhou isn't confident he can capture the capital quickly. He's been giving his troops three days to rest and recuperate. Wang Wenzhou estimates that even if the tactics fail, they will still affect the morale of the defending soldiers.
After all, their entire families were in the capital, and if they surrendered, those who were supposed to be officials would still become officials, and those who were supposed to be soldiers would still become soldiers. They weren't like Zhu Youjian, and they wouldn't lose their lives.
