The mountains stand tall, thousands of peaks and valleys, towering into the clouds, like a knife and axe cutting. This is the five ridges that block the Central Plains and Lingnan. The five ridges separated the Yangtze River Basin and the Pearl River Basin for thousands of years, becoming an obstacle to the transportation between the Central Plains and Lingnan. In order to manage Lingnan, Qin Shihuang unified China, firstly, he dug the Ling Canal and built a passage on the Wuling Mountains. On this basis, dynasties of history have repaired it, becoming two major strategic channels for the Central Plains to enter Lingnan.

Zhou Chong looked at the foot of Zhuma Mountain and sighed at the Wuling Mountains. It was Qin Shihuang's greatness that enabled China to achieve true unification. After destroying the six Shandong countries, he decisively marched into Lingnan, and the current territory of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian were obtained. At the beginning, the supply of the 500,000 Qin troops was obtained from Wuling Mountains.

Due to the high and dense forests of Wuling Mountains and the dangerous roads, the Qin army's logistics was extremely difficult. It was precisely because of this that Zhou Chong sent Zhang Liang to Chu and used a plan to build roads in Chu to prepare for the army to enter Lingnan.

Now, Zhou Chong is chasing the remnants of Chu State all the way and comes to the bottom of the Five Ridges, so he naturally wants to fully appreciate the style of the Five Ridges.

A rapid sound of horse hooves woke Zhou Chong up from his thoughts. Zhou Chong looked in for the voice and saw a team of Qin soldiers flying towards him. One of them was very tall. He was either someone else or Nei Shiteng.

Nei Shiteng rushed to the front, pulled the horse reins violently, and the horseman stood up. The horseman practiced in the battlefield was well reflected. Tensuke jumped down and threw the horse reins to his personal soldiers. He trotted over and gasped, and said, "Mr. Zhou, your legs are rabbit legs, you run very fast. I rushed to Shouchun, and Zifang said you went to Jiangnan, I rushed to Jiangnan, and I heard that you went to Dongyue, I rushed to Dongyue, and you arrived at Wuling again. Your legs are so capable that you could not run out if the rabbit legs were not."

He was right. Zhou Chong pursued all the way and was almost undecent resistance. Naturally, he was like entering a no-man. It was difficult for Nei Shiteng to reinforce after the support.

Zhou Chong joked, saying, "General Inner Shi, aren't you catching up with me? General Inner Shi, if I have a rabbit leg, you can catch up with me, what kind of leg are you? It's not an eagle leg, right?"

Neishen laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are really unlearning. The eagle flies in the sky. It is with its wings, not with its legs."

Zhou Chong retorted: "Who said that the eagle has no legs? If the eagle has no legs, how can we catch the chick?"

"Diede, I won't tell you this. Mr. Zhou is good at speaking, I will tell you this. I'm not shooting myself in the foot." Neishi Teng pointed to the topic and said, "Mr. Zhou, the State of Chu has been destroyed, and all our combat missions have been achieved. It's time to rest for a while, set up a camp, and have a safe sleep."

The battle to destroy Chu was almost without bloodshed. It can be said that it was completed very beautifully. It does not mean that the army is not tired. On the contrary, the army seized various cities and marched continuously, so it was time to have a good rest. The words of Nei Shiteng were the best conclusion drawn on the current military situation.

Zhou Chong should agree, but Zhou Chong vetoed it and said, "No, it's not the time to rest now, so you should take this opportunity to enter Lingnan."

Nei Shiteng rolled his eyes and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, you have thought about it. Although the king had this intention long ago when entering Lingnan, the king had not issued an order yet. We will enter Lingnan now, which is arbitrarily dispatching troops. It is a serious crime. The king will not pursue it, but it is hard for the ministers to say that if they write a letter to the king and impeach us, it will be a problem."

"Your concerns make sense, but have you ever thought about when if you don't enter Lingnan at this time?" Zhou Chong disagreed with his words and said, "Putting Baiyue is the king's established strategy. The reason why it was not implemented is because Chu is still there and Chu is now destroyed. It is time to pacify Baiyue. Don't worry, I will not start a war against Baiyue before the king issued an order. I want to enter Lingnan to pursue the remnants of Chu. You know, after the East Chu digs through the Five Ridges, it has sent troops to Lingnan. If we continue to pursue this remnant Chu army, we will inevitably cause chaos."

Zhou Chong's real intention to enter Lingnan now is not entirely to pursue the remnants of Chu, but more importantly, he wants to establish a strategic base in Lingnan. After destroying the remnants of Chu, he can occupy a certain amount of land in Lingnan, and then he can set up a base to accumulate materials to prepare for the army's southern expedition.

More importantly, once you pass Lingnan, the climate in the south is completely different from that in the north of Lingnan. The climate is humid, the mountains are high and dense forests are dense, and there are many miasma. The natives still scattered in various places in tribal situations. The battle of the Southern Expedition will inevitably be completely different from the battle of the Central Plains. Targeted training on this land to allow soldiers to master different tactics is of great significance to the Southern Expedition.

Although Nei Shiteng could not fully understand Zhou Chong's intention, he raised his thumb when he heard Zhou Chong's words and praised: "Mr. Zhou's words are extremely true! Yes, we will enter Lingnan in the name of pursuing the remnants of Chu. In this way, I wish those ministers could not say anything. It's so high, it's really high!"

The Qin Dynasty's army was very strict. If more than fifty people were mobilized, they would have the Qin King's military talisman. The battle to destroy Chu had been completed, and the army should stop. If you enter Lingnan without a suitable excuse, the Qin King would not interfere, and the ministers would also ramble, which would make people upset. It would be legitimate to enter Lingnan in the name of pursuing the remnants. It would be impossible to be unhappy with the Neishi Teng.

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "The Inner History General has no objection, so we will execute it."

"Please give orders by Mr. Zhou!" The Neishi Tengfei took the horse and held the reins of the horse with both hands.

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people from the Central Plains have crossed the Five Ridges to enter Lingnan. However, the Zhou Dynasty has fought for 800 years and has been in constant internal friction, making it difficult to have the strength to enter Lingnan. Therefore, the land of Lingnan is still abroad for the Central Plains and a wild land. Now entering Lingnan has great historical significance: China's land of Lingnan officially opened.

Zhou Chong knew very well how profound the impact of this action had on Chinese history, but he was the initiator of this history. He was so excited that his heart was pounding. He took a deep breath and looked back north. He saw that the Qin army was neatly arranged and ready to go. As long as he gave an order, he would immediately enter Lingnan. Looking south again, the five ridges were winding and endless. Zhou Chong's blood was boiling and said loudly: "Tell me the order: march to Lingnan and pursue the remnants of Chu!"

"Advance Lingnan and pursue the remnants of Chu State!" The inner-shistor roared, pulled the reins of the horse, rushed out, and entered the mountain road. The Qin army followed closely behind and sped on the mountain road, and the prelude to march towards Lingnan and open up the new frontier.

Zhou Chong pulled the reins and stepped onto the mountain road and galloped south.
