If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

"Grab the tongue?" No one reacted for a moment!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zong Ze said with a smile, "As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Since we are going to attack the border mountains and forests, we should at least have some understanding of these bandits. For example, where exactly is their stronghold located? And how many bandits are there in total?"

"Haha! I understand!" Camor laughed. "General, do you mean to arrest a few people from the other side to question them and find out more about them? Hehe, General, the longer I spend with you, the more I realize how rich your vocabulary is! Tongue, haha, arrest the tongue! I don't care if others go or not, I'm going to arrest a few people to interrogate!"

It must be said that bandits are bandits after all! In the face of real war, their actual ability is still very poor! Even when Zong Ze's army marched to the edge of the border forest, the bandits in the forest still brazenly observed the Shenji Battalion. These bandit scouts had no way of coordination or self-protection, and Zong Ze easily led the battalion commanders to capture more than a dozen prisoners on the edge of the forest!

"Damn it, you bastards are pretty stubborn, aren't you? Beat them until they talk!" Zong Ze heard Camor's voice as he approached the location where he was asking the question!

Zong Ze shook his head and slowly walked towards the location of the interrogation! When he first captured the tongues, Camor volunteered that he had extremely powerful interrogation skills and that he could get the information he needed from the tongues in just half a day!

However, after Zongze and the others waited in the camp for more than a day, Camor still did not return! Shimo went to take a look and came back to tell everyone that those traitors were very stubborn. Camor beat them so badly that they were almost unrecognizable, but no one dared to utter a sound!

Upon hearing the news about Shi Mo, Zong Ze smiled! Bandits, by their very nature, live a life of constant danger, and under normal circumstances, these bandits are not afraid of death! Even if captured, their fierce nature, honed over many years, would make them choose to remain silent; in the eyes of bandits, this is called loyalty! And some bandits value this loyalty more than their own lives, even though they are engaged in murder and plunder!

"Well, Camor! Did you get anything out of him?" Zong Ze was amused by Camor's current appearance as soon as he saw him! Camor was holding a leather whip, which was covered in bloodstains, and even Camor's body was stained with bright red blood. However, Camor's old face was purple with anger, which showed that the group of fierce bandits were not just silent!

"Damn it!" Camor threw down the whip in his hand: "These bastards are so stubborn! No matter how I beat them, they won't open their mouths. When they finally do open their mouths, they just curse me with all sorts of foul language. If I didn't need to get information from them, I would have chopped these bastards into pieces with one knife each!"

"Hehe! Camor!" Zong Ze raised his hand and patted Camor's clothes: "Actually, interrogating prisoners also requires some techniques! Some people are more responsive to gentle persuasion than force; you can beat them to death and they won't utter a sound, but if you persuade them kindly, they'll confess! Some people are lustful to death; no matter how much you beat them, they won't talk, but as long as you offer them a beautiful woman, they'll immediately soften up!"

"Oh! That makes sense!" Camor scratched his head. "How about I try to put in a good word with them? We're on the march, where are we going to find beautiful women? If all else fails, I'll just have to find a few good-looking guys among my brothers, put on makeup, and pretend to be beautiful!"

"No need!" Zong Ze waved his hand to stop Camor, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "We don't mind using some gentle methods with other prisoners of war, but there's no need to be so polite with these guys who would even eat women's flesh. You can't get anything out of them because your methods aren't ruthless enough. With these guys, no method is too ruthless!"

“But!” Camor scratched his head. “I’ve already been extremely ruthless. I’ve beaten them all up like this! What more could you ask for in terms of ruthlessness?”

"Heh, I told you! Interrogating prisoners requires skill! Ruthlessness also comes in many levels! Watch me!"

After saying that, Zong Ze strolled over to the bandits who were tied to tree trunks and chuckled, "You all know very well that if you fall into my hands, you will only have one way out: death. So you all chose to remain silent. That's right, let me tell you clearly, I will not let you go. In my hands, you only have one path: death! However, there are many kinds of death. If you can obediently answer my questions, I guarantee you will die a quick and painless death. If you don't talk, hehe... you can try!"

"Damn it, you little brat!" At this moment, one of the bandits sneered, "I don't know how many lives I've taken. Even if I die now, I've already had my fill! Do you think I'm afraid of death? It's just torture, right? I'm going to die anyway. You try to torture me, I want to see what kind of ways you pretty boy can torture me to the point of wishing I were dead!"

"Good! Hero, you've got guts!" Looking at the terrifying grin on the face that was already distorted from the beating, Zong Ze shrugged: "Since you want to try it first, then I'll let you try it!"

"Someone, go and catch a few rats!" Zong Ze ordered, and soon the soldiers brought back more than a dozen rats!

Zong Ze ordered his men to tie up the bandit's two trouser legs, then dragged off his shoes and clamped his nose with a pair of tongs! Then he pulled down the bandit's crotch and dumped all the rats into the bandit's crotch!

"You! What are you doing?" The bandit panicked. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that before he died, his manhood would be eaten alive by rats! But his nose was pinched, which made it difficult for him to speak clearly!

"I'm not doing anything!" Zong Ze smiled calmly. "Didn't you choose death? Now, I'll grant you death!"

After saying this, Zong Ze gave another order, instructing the soldiers to use brushes to scrub the bandit's soles! At first, the bandit was still laughing, but gradually his laughter changed: "Ahahaha, ah...it hurts, damn it, they're biting me! Hahaha, it's so itchy, oh my god, they've bitten my testicles! Oh, hahahaha! Spare me, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything! As long as you give me a quick death, I'll tell you everything!"

Seeing the bandit begging for mercy, gasping for breath, Zong Ze said calmly, "I've already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Therefore, you are destined to die in agony!"
