"The remaining members of the aristocratic families think they can use this opportunity to disrupt the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. They are really overestimating their own capabilities."

“They have revealed all their cards.”

"Now, it's our turn to fight back."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord, what you said is very true. I have already grasped the movement trajectory of those remaining members of the noble families."

"We can take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Ying Yuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, revealing his utmost determination and coldness.

"Order the Royal Guards to take action immediately."

"I want not only to eradicate these remnants, but also to use this action to deter all forces that attempt to counterattack with the help of foreign enemies."

Chen Ping secretly admired Ying Yuan in his heart; his decisiveness and ruthlessness were fully revealed at this moment.

"I understand. I will immediately dispatch the Royal Guards to ensure that these rebels have nowhere to escape."

Ying Yuan nodded slowly, his eyes still staring into the distance.

"As for the neutrals in the court, it is time for them to make a choice."

"They thought they could remain neutral in this storm, but they didn't know that there are no bystanders in this storm."

"Pass the order down and ask them to express their stance immediately."

"If they still want to waver, let them bear the consequences."

Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a cold light, and then he whispered: "My lord, what you said is very true. I will ensure that all neutral parties make a decision in the shortest possible time."

"This situation does not allow them to hesitate any longer."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Although the war situation in the south is complicated, the power of the Xiongnu is ultimately limited."

"As long as we hold our defense line, the Huns' offensive will collapse."

Chen Ping agreed with him and said, "You are wise, my lord. Although the Xiongnu cavalry is unpredictable, their logistical supply cannot last long."

"As long as we hold them back, the Xiongnu's advantage will quickly disappear."

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold and his tone was firm: "That's right."

"Order all the generals on the border to defend their positions and never let the Xiongnu's surprise attack succeed."

"At the same time, closely monitor the movements of the south and be prepared to counterattack at any time."

Chen Ping bowed slightly and said, "I understand. I will convey your order immediately."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "The remnants of the aristocratic families colluded with the Xiongnu and tried to shake the foundation of the Great Qin, but they underestimated the power of our Great Qin."

"This time, I will not only repel the Xiongnu, but also completely eliminate those who betrayed the Qin Dynasty through this battle."

When Chen Ping heard Ying Yuan's decision, he secretly admired him.

He knew that this war was not only for the safety of the border, but also a killing spree set by Ying Yuan to completely eliminate the opposition forces in the court.

"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to assist you in completing this mission."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, and then said: "The critical moment of this storm has arrived. Whether it is the Xiongnu or the opposition forces in the court, they will usher in the final judgment in this storm."

"Those who attempt to counterattack with the help of external enemies will pay a bloody price."

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

Ying Yuan slowly walked to the window with a deep gaze. Through the night outside the window, he seemed to see the direction of the entire battle.

Whether it is the Huns or the rebels in the court, they will all perish under his control.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door again.

"Son!"

Xiahou Ying came hurriedly, with a look of nervousness that could not be concealed. "Another urgent war report from the border has arrived. The Xiongnu cavalry is gathering in the south, preparing to launch a larger-scale attack."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said coldly: "The Xiongnu are unwilling to accept defeat and are trying to make a final stand by gathering cavalry."

"Pass the order down, the Central Army will send another 30,000 elite troops to ensure that the southern defense line is indestructible."

"At the same time, order the border commanders to defend their positions and not retreat even a single step."

Xiahou Ying bowed and replied, "I understand. I will arrange it immediately."

Ying Yuan's eyes remained stern, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, as if he had already played out every move of the Huns in his mind.

"Although the Xiongnu cavalry is strong, their lack of logistical supplies is their fatal weakness."

"As long as we can hold them back, the Xiongnu's power will quickly collapse."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord, you are right. Although the Xiongnu cavalry is flexible, they cannot sustain such high-intensity combat for a long time."

"As long as we hold our ground, their offensive will inevitably collapse."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "The Xiongnu thought their cavalry could sweep across the Qin Empire, but they underestimated the strength of the Qin Empire."

"This time, I will not only let them know that their plan is doomed to fail, but also completely crush their confidence through this war."

Chen Ping was solemn in his heart, and then he said: "My lord is wise, I will ensure that the battle progresses according to your plan."

Ying Yuan's eyes fell on the map on the table again, and his fingers gently slid across the southern defense line, as if he had already set up the final killing plan in his mind.

"The southern defense line is the key. As long as we hold it, the Xiongnu's plan will be completely thwarted."

"Inform all generals to concentrate all forces on defense and not to be negligent in any way."

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

Ying Yuan's gaze remained calm and firm.

He knew that the storm had entered its most critical moment.

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

And he is already prepared for victory.

The final outcome of this storm is destined to be his victory over Ying Yuan.

"Get ready. Everything has entered the final stage."

Ying Yuan whispered, his eyes flashing with great confidence.

The early morning sun shines through the mist, illuminating the entire Xianyang.

The tense atmosphere in the city formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility in the palace.

But Ying Yuan knew that beneath this calm surface, there were actually undercurrents.

He stood in front of the desk, holding tightly in his hand a copy of the latest battle report.

The contents of the battle report made him frown.

"The main force of the Xiongnu is still lingering in the south, apparently preparing for the next large-scale attack."

"The generals on the border have begun to feel exhausted, but they still hold their positions and wait for reinforcements from the central army."

Ying Yuan's voice was cold and contained an invisible sense of oppression.

Chen Ping stood aside, his eyes calm but with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Sir, although the Xiongnu's strategy is flexible, we have already stabilized the defense line in the south."

"However, the remnants of the aristocratic families in the south are still operating in secret. If we don't deal with them as soon as possible, the border will always be a hidden danger." (End of this chapter)
