Ying Yuan's eyes swept across the map on the table, and his fingers gently ran across the southern area, as if he had already laid out the entire battle situation in his mind.

"Although the remnants of the southern noble families have colluded with the Xiongnu, their strength is ultimately not enough to shake the foundation of our Great Qin."

"Now, what we have to do is to stabilize the situation and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Chen Ping nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Sir, I am worried that if the situation in the south is not resolved quickly, the neutral and opposition forces in the court will likely take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."

"We must stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, otherwise the situation will become more complicated if we are attacked from both inside and outside."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, a hint of cold determination flashing in his eyes.

“Neutralists have been sitting on the sidelines, thinking they can play both sides of this storm.”

"But this time, I won't give them another chance."

"Send a message to all neutral parties to express their stance immediately."

"If they want to keep swinging, make them pay for it."

Chen Ping bowed and replied, "I understand. I will make arrangements immediately so that the neutral faction can express their stance as soon as possible."

Ying Yuan's fingers were still tapping lightly on the table, his eyes calm and deep.

"As for the remnants of the aristocratic families in the south, their power has been fully exposed."

“Now is the best opportunity.”

"Order the Royal Guards to start the cleanup operation. Don't give them any chance to breathe."

Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then said: "I have already arranged everything, just waiting for your order."

"In this operation, we will completely eliminate those rebels who are colluding with foreign enemies."

Ying Yuan's eyes were stern, as if he had seen through the entire situation.

"The remnants of the noble families thought they could use the Xiongnu to shake the Qin Empire, but in fact, all their actions are under my control."

"This time, I want to let them know the price of betraying the Qin Dynasty."

There was a hint of awe in Chen Ping's eyes. He knew that Ying Yuan had already made full preparations for this battle.

Whether it is the Huns, the remnants of the aristocratic families, or the neutral faction in the court, their fate will be decided by Ying Yuan.

"My Lord, you are wise. I believe that the situation will gradually return to stability under your control."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "Not only do I want to restore stability, I want to completely eradicate all forces that threaten Daqin."

"The Xiongnu invasion is only a symptom. The real enemy is the opposition forces hidden in the court and the remnants of the aristocratic families."

"This time, I will destroy them all."

Chen Ping bowed slightly, and then said: "I understand, and I will do my best to assist you in completing this mission."

Ying Yuan slowly walked to the window and looked into the distance with calmness and determination in his eyes.

"This storm cannot be reversed, and I am standing in the center of it."

“Whether it is the Huns or the noble families, they will all be completely destroyed in this storm.”

Chen Ping agreed with this and said, "Don't worry, sir. You will be in charge of this battle yourself."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

"Son!"

Xiahou Ying came hurriedly again, looking nervous.

"Report from the border: the Xiongnu cavalry has changed the direction of attack again and is launching a surprise attack on our flank!"

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold and his brows furrowed slightly.

"The Huns are changing so quickly, it seems they are indeed well prepared."

He calmed down for a moment, then said, "Order the central army to dispatch another 20,000 elite troops to provide flank support."

"At the same time, keep a close eye on the Xiongnu's movements and don't let them change their strategy again." Xiahou Ying responded in a low voice: "I understand. I will make arrangements immediately."

Ying Yuan stood in front of the desk, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Although the Xiongnu cavalry is cunning, their real target is still the southern defense line."

"As long as we hold our defense, their plan will fail."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord, you are right. Although the Xiongnu cavalry is unpredictable, their main force is still concentrated in the south."

"As long as we focus our forces on defending the south, the Xiongnu's raids will not be able to continue."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "The Xiongnu wanted to disrupt our deployment by changing the battlefield, but they underestimated the power of our Great Qin."

"This time, I will not only repel the Xiongnu, but also completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the court through this war."

Chen Ping was solemn in his heart, and then said: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to help you accomplish this great cause."

Ying Yuan sat down slowly, his eyes still cold and firm.

"The center of this storm is not only the battlefield, but also the imperial court."

"Those neutrals and the remnants of the aristocratic families have been exposed in broad daylight."

"Now, it's time for me, Ying Yuan, to settle accounts with them."

Chen Ping responded in a low voice: "My lord, you are wise. I will ensure that all actions are carried out according to your plan."

Ying Yuan's eyes swept across the map on the table, and his fingers tapped lightly on the southern area, as if he had already laid out the entire battle situation in his mind.

"Although the Xiongnu's attack was cunning, their power was ultimately limited."

"And the power of our Great Qin is enough to put them in trouble."

"Inform the generals at the border to hold their positions and never retreat."

"At the same time, mobilize all reserve forces to ensure that there are no loopholes in every corner of the battlefield."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "I understand, I will pass on the order immediately."

Ying Yuan's gaze turned to the distance again, his eyes revealing depth and calmness.

"This storm has entered its most critical moment."

"Whether it is the Xiongnu or the hostile forces in the court, their fate will be finally decided at this moment."

And Ying Yuan has already prepared for a do-or-die battle.

The final victory of this storm will belong to him.

Night fell over the entire Xianyang, and in the silent city, only the occasional sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the long street.

Ying Yuan stood high up in the palace, with unconcealable majesty and contemplation between his brows.

He knew clearly that the situation in the South had reached its most tense point.

Although the Huns' raid came suddenly, the greater threat hidden behind it was the secret collusion between the remnants of the aristocratic families and them.

"The Huns' offensive has changed again. They seem to want to disrupt our main defense line by attacking our flanks."

Xiahou Ying's voice was full of anxiety and urgency.

Ying Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, then said calmly: "Although the Xiongnu cavalry is flexible, it will not be easy for them to truly tear through our defense line."

"I have mobilized the elite troops of the Central Army to provide reinforcements. We must ensure that the defense line is not breached."

His eyes were stern, and he had obviously rehearsed the changes in the situation countless times in his mind.

Chen Ping stood aside and said in a deep voice: "Sir, although the Xiongnu's actions are cunning at this time, the more critical thing is the remnants of the aristocratic families who are colluding with the Xiongnu."

"Not only are they making moves in the south, they are also trying to use their influence in the court to disrupt the political situation."

Ying Yuan sneered, a hint of coldness in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
