The threats continued, and Qu Ji began to describe the horror of those punishments:

"You have not seen executions at the market entrance in the past, right? The cruel officials will tattoo your face with ink, gouge out your nose, chop off your left and right arms, beat you to death with a whip, then cut off your head, and dump the mutilated corpse on the street

.During the execution, if someone shouts or curses, pluck out his tongue! Only in this way can the people of the world be frightened, so that they will not dare to follow suit, and they will have no choice but to obediently pay heavy rent and serve in heavy service!"

Gao Jianli suffered this punishment in Xianyang, and when Heifu went to Jiaodong to take office, his assassins also suffered this punishment. The Tian Heng brothers rebelled, and many of the remaining party members were massacred.

But now, the former law enforcers have become what the court calls "criminals."

Not only those present today, but also all the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, who will die if they do not disobey?

At this moment, everyone looked horrified.

Quji was also angry at the soldiers' short-sightedness. At this time, he couldn't help pointing at them and scolding them: "You think that after you leave the army and return to your hometown with the reward given by the king, you can farm well and enjoy it in peace."

Le? What a delusion!"

"I am a military official, and I deal with laws and orders every day. I know that in Qin's laws, there is no law that does not punish everyone, only the sky net is vast, and there are no omissions! So, don't take any chances. Once the Southern Expeditionary Army disperses, you will not be able to pass it.

In a year and a half, the imperial court will send a large army to counterattack, and what awaits you is the family lineage, the massacre of the city, and the rivers of blood!"

"The Southern Expeditionary Army is like a boat. Now that the boat has reached the middle of the river, before it reaches the shore, the people on top are rushing to jump off, but they will be the first to drown."

"Wu Zhonghou is like a big tree. He sheltered more than 100,000 soldiers from the wind and rain, and led us to where we are today. But no matter how big the tree is, it can't support it alone. How can we bear to abandon it? In my eyes

, you are like a group of deserters!"

Qu Ji said the emotional point, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't want you to see your parents and wife being killed, and regret it so much that you cried and said before being beheaded: 'I shouldn't have done that on that day.

In the pursuit of temporary comfort, he put down his sword and spear, abandoned Marquis Wu Zhong, and abandoned the Southern Expeditionary Army!'"

The tragedy of the Gongwei family was right in front of them, and Qu Ji's words were so shocking that most of the soldiers who were blinded by the short-term victory and could not see the cruel truth of the future were frightened awake.

They began to realize that once the Southern Expeditionary Army was gone, everyone would lose their shelter, and their peaceful life might not last long.

As a result, many people who wanted to go home, as well as those who had no intention of going back, knelt down and bowed to Mr. Hei:

"Marquis Wu Zhong, I was wrong."

"Please don't abandon us, sir!"

"Please do not disband the Southern Expedition Army!"

"Wuzhonghou! Wuzhonghou! Wuzhonghou!"

For a time, he was calling and calling, just to win back Hei Fu's heart.

Han Xin was impressed and looked at Heifu. He had just given up the stage to his two subordinates. One of them stood on the other side of the city wall with his hands behind his hands, looking at Jiangling City, which had gradually returned to prosperity. He didn't know what he was thinking.

When he heard the chorus of 20,000 people calling from behind him, he just said something lightly.

"An army, once its mission has been completed, is destined to disappear. Gentlemen, the Southern Expedition Army is gone, and it will be difficult to regain it!"

After these words were spread loudly, disappointment swept over everyone present. Everyone lowered their heads and fell into a brief confusion.

Until Heifu came back into their sight.

"But what has disappeared is just a name! As long as the second and third sons do not abandon Heifu, the soldiers and generals will still be there! Even if the name is gone and replaced by another one, the soul of this army will still be there!"

Hei Fu bowed to everyone, his voice was urgent and firm!

"But I won't force anyone to stay. If you want to go home, just go home."

Having said this, no one got up and left anymore. They were more worried about the future, and they were also afraid that when they got up together, Pao Ze's eyes wanted to eat them alive...

Heifu showed a satisfied smile: "The next words are for those who are willing to stay."

"The Southern Expedition is over, but the war is not. We were ordered to conquer Baiyue, and then we fought back home together. In two months, we counterattacked from Lingnan to Jianghan. We repeatedly defeated powerful enemies and were invincible!"

"But from today on, what we have to do has become another thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, a new flag was erected next to Hei Fu, just like the "Southern Expeditionary Army" of the past, with three Qin Li written on it...

The literate military officer raised his head, tried to open his eyes wide, and read out two of them...

"north……"

"Fight?"

"Yes, we should not indulge in short-term happiness. In order to enjoy long-term peace in the future, we should use our remaining courage to chase the poor bandits! Fengtian Jingnan, Northern Expedition to the Central Plains!"

Heifu wiped away the “disheartened feeling” just now and became energetic again:

"The ancients said that every teacher has bells and drums to attack, but no army wants to invade! We are righteous teachers, not rebels! This new flag should not only be planted in Jianghan, but also Nanyang, Wuguan, and Xianyang City!

"

"From this moment on, the Southern Expeditionary Army will be renamed: Northern Expeditionary Army!"
