Besides, Jia Ke broke the Tatars outside Kaiping Town, and captured many prisoners, in order to get specific information about Xuanfu Town. Jia Ke immediately ordered Wei Kun to torture the nobles among these people, and he must take out useful information from their mouths.

Although torture does not work for some people, it is still very effective for most people, after all, the human body is fleshy.

Wei Kun set up a battlefield in the dungeon of Kaiping Town, and the two sides fighting here fought for their will.

Wei Kun did not have the experience of these tortures, but in the dungeon of Kaiping Town, there were officials who deeply analyzed this way, and one of them was a master of torture. This person's name is Ai Baoquan, and his ancestor is a master of torture in the capital criminal department, but he doesn't know how to end up in this place. Ever since Wei Kun knew that he had this ability, he took this person with him and used it as his master of torture.

Wei Kun also handed over the matter to Ai Baoquan this time, and carefully instructed: "Tonight, you must torture the news to me." Your Excellency is still waiting in the house. ”

"My lord, please rest assured, this is my ancestral craft, it has been almost useless over the years, and it is about to be scrapped, so I will take these out and dry them today." Ai Baoquan's eyes flashed with cruelty, and now his whole body trembled with excitement. For so many years, he has not had the opportunity to show all his skills, and today these Tatars are just the right time for him to practice his skills.

"I don't care about that, I'll leave it all to you here, I just need the answer." Wei Kun left the dungeon after finishing speaking. Ai Baoquan nodded and sent Wei Kun out of prison.

When Ai Baoquan saw Wei Kun leaving, his face immediately changed, and the flattery just now was completely gone. A cruel smile flashed across his face.

"Little ones, go and drag ten Tartars over the noble lord, let grandpa and I practice first." Ai Baoquan sat on the bench and instructed his subordinates.

His servants immediately dragged a dozen aristocratic Tatars locked up in the next room into this room.

These Tatars were die-hards, and if they were ordinary herdsmen or slaves, they might have confessed. Then the nobles of these tribes, for whatever reason, will not confess easily. But the information that Jia Ke needs is the one they know the most, so they are the main ones who are being tortured this time.

After these people were pushed into the house, they all raised their eyebrows, and even scolded endlessly, but they didn't take Ai Baoquan seriously. There was no obedience in front of Jia Ke at all.

Ai Baoquan looked at their appearance of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, not only was he not annoyed, but laughed "humming".

"Since the masters have come to us, let's give these masters loose skin and meat first, which can be regarded as a meeting gift." As soon as Ai Baoquan finished speaking, his face changed immediately, and he said to the official next to him, "Go, bring the leather whip." Dip it in cold water and give me a hard pump. ”

Ai Baoquan ordered all the officials under him to take action. They tied all the dozen or so people to a stake. Then in front of each of them was a bucket of cold water, and in the cold water was a whip made of cowhide.

This can surprise these dozen people, in fact, one or two of these people are real diehards. Others thought that as long as someone asked for a little training, they would do it. After all, everyone is raised by their mother's biological parents, all of them are flesh and blood, and they are all nobles in the tribe, there is no need to suffer from this flesh and skin, and what they know is only some big road news, where can they know the real secrets. How can I think of this Ai Baoquan, without saying a word, I will have a leather whip first.

Then a terrible scream rang out throughout the dungeon, and Ai Baoquan sat next to him drinking tea while watching these people suffer. I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Ai Baoquan saw that everyone had been beaten dozens of times, and then said, "Okay, let's rest, big guys." ”

At this time, all the officials stopped, and they all rubbed their arms, and these dozens of whips went down, although they were all tortured by the captives, but they were also tired of beating.

Ai Baoquan stood up at this time and walked around in front of the captive. Finally, he said, "Now everyone can talk well, right?" It's all recruited, do you want me to bother? ”

Now these Tatars have hated Ai Bao to the core, and they still have some thoughts of confessing, but now they have swallowed them back.

Ai Baoquan saw that none of these people confessed, not only did he not get angry, but he became happy. What's the point of confessing all of a sudden?

Ai Baoquan was satisfied and went back to the bench, and said to the officials below: "These masters, they have come to our Kaiping Town. I guess it's been a few days since I washed my body. Today, let's freshen up and freshen up a few masters, and make these masters comfortable, which can be regarded as our landlord's suitability. ”

Then he ordered the boiling water to be boiled on the stove next to him, and in a short time the water was ready. Ai Baoquan pointed at any of these Tatars, and immediately a servant stepped forward to strip the man of his clothes, and then tied the man to the iron bed next to him. Then he poured all the boiling water into the wooden basin, and two men carried him to the man and poured boiling water on him.

This moment alone made the man scream in pain, struggled the iron bed, and hit his head on the iron bed hard, wishing that he would die immediately.

"Where is this, this master can't stand it, so he wants to freshen you up."

Then a servant took out several pairs of iron combs and brushed off the flesh and skin of his body with iron brushes. Just like the folk slaughter pigs with boiling water and then remove their hair, until the skin and flesh are brushed out, revealing the white bones, the Tatars will die of anger before they can wait for the end.

By this time, several other people had been frightened into disarray, where did they dare to have any hard mouths, and before Ai Baoquan could ask, they rushed to confess to Ai Baoquan one by one. In just one night's work, these Tatars said everything, and did not dare to hide it at all. They were completely frightened by Ai Bao.

The next morning, Wei Kun received the information sent by Ai Baoquan, Wei Kun didn't ask him how he got it, and now Wei Kun doesn't ask for the process as long as the result is done.

After Wei Kun got the information, he immediately rushed to the garrison mansion. Wei Kun, as a former member of the pro-soldiers, is still very convenient to enter and exit the garrison mansion.

As soon as Wei Kun entered the door, he asked people to hurry in to report, saying that he wanted to see him, and soon someone came out of it and asked him to hurry to the study to meet Jia Ke.

When Wei Kun entered the study, Jia Ke was already waiting there.

Jia Ke saw that Wei Kun came so early, and knew that he had good news, so he smiled and said, "How is it, did someone speak?" ”

Wei Kun hurriedly took out the confession, handed it to Jia Ke with both hands and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid it's not good news for you this time." The town of Xuanfu was already surrounded by Tatars. ”

Jia Ke listened to his words, his brows immediately furrowed, and he took the confession and watched it carefully, the content on it was much the same, and after supplementing each other, a general content had been outlined, coupled with his careful reasoning, the general situation should be like this.

The Tatars entered the interior of the dynasty from other passes, and the various passes fled in the face of the wind, and few were able to resist. In the entire Xuanfu Town, I am afraid that only the main town of Xuanfu Town and Kaiping Town have not fallen, and almost all other places have been attacked.

This time, the Great Khan of the Tatars sent heavy troops to besiege Xuanfu Town, wanting to capture the nail of Xuanfu Town. At that time, the Tatars had a huge space for detours, and they could attack in both directions, south and east.

To the south, they can take Shanxi directly, and with the wealth of Shanxi, they can make a lot of money. At that time, both the population and the wealth will be enough for them to enjoy for decades.

If to the east, Xuanfu Town is not far from the capital, and then hundreds of thousands of troops will come to the city and force the emperor of this dynasty to sign the alliance under the city. Let this dynasty pay tribute every year, and be a minister every year.

Jia Ke didn't dare to slack off when he got the news, and immediately asked people to invite Fan Kang.

Upon the arrival of Fan Kang, Jia Ke immediately provided him with the Tatar population and told him his reasoning.

After reading the information, Fan Kang thought about Jia Ke's inference again, and felt that it was very possible. said to Jia Ke: "Your Excellency is urgent now, you should prepare early, once there is an order to send your Excellency to reinforce Xuanfu Town, then you can set off immediately, don't panic at that time." ”

Jia Ke deeply agreed with his words, "Even if we have to make full preparations, then grain and grass are the most important thing, and now we can have enough grain and grass." ”

Fan Kang is very familiar with this matter, since he came to Kaiping Town, he has become the number two person in Kaiping Town, and he is responsible for these things of grain and grass and logistics supply.

Fan Kang replied to Jia Ke: "The grain and grass in Kaiping Town can fully support a foreign war for several months, mainly because the imperial court has allocated a large amount of grain to various places this year. Allow the defending troops to hold out for a long time while defending against the Tatars. ”

Jia Ke was very satisfied with this, but asked again: "We don't need to report to the imperial court when we get the news now, so that the imperial court can prepare early, in case Xuanfu Town is suddenly attacked by the Tatars, so that it is too late to rescue." ”

"Of course I have to report, I can't wait to report to the top, that is, I don't report if I know, now which Wenchen is staring at Xuanfu Town, if you don't report it, it is equivalent to stuffing this handle into the other party's hands." Fan Kang was very resolute about what he reported to Xiang.

Jia Ke said: "Speaking of which, let's also report to the next level, there won't be any trouble in the future, right?" ”

Fan Kang said firmly: "Don't worry, my lord, not only will there be no trouble, but it will be a great achievement." ”

Jia Ke's face was calm, and he was not worried about the future war, "In this case, I am relieved. As long as the court gives an order, I will bring people to reinforce me. When the time comes, the Tatars will be broken. ”

Next, Fan Kang wrote an urgent document, ordering his subordinates to ride fast horses and send them to the capital in the form of an emergency military situation of 800 miles, and at the same time told him to send it directly to the military department, and if someone intercepted him halfway, he would shout that the person who blocked the emergency military situation of 800 miles would die.

This regulation was an order of Emperor Taizu since the founding of the country. It is afraid that those people below will shirk and obstruct those who transmit emergency military orders, resulting in the delay of military information. This provision was strictly enforced at the time of the founding of the country. At that time, the turmoil was very serious, and there were often 800 li of urgent military information sent to the Beijing Division, and there were even a few cases where people in the royal family inadvertently blocked the military situation and were executed.
