Ying Yuan looked deep in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The remnants of the aristocratic families are the key to this situation. They are colluding with the Xiongnu and intend to shake the foundation of our Great Qin."

"Now, it's time to completely eradicate these traitors."

"How is the Jinyiwei's cleanup operation going?"

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "The Jinyiwei has been dispatched and has launched arrest operations in multiple cities in the south as planned."

“However, several key locations were warned in advance and some of the rebels had already absconded.”

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he lightly stroked the desk with his fingers.

"It seems these rebels have been prepared for this."

"But they can't escape."

"Pass the order down, mobilize the troops on the border to block all possible escape routes, and do not let any rebels leave the South alive."

Chen Ping's heart trembled slightly, and then he replied in a low voice: "I understand, I will convey your order immediately."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "The remnants of the noble families thought they could save their lives by fleeing, but they were too naive."

"This crackdown is not only to purge the rebels, but also to deter all those who have evil intentions."

"I want everyone to know that the price of betraying the Qin Dynasty is death."

There was a hint of awe in Chen Ping's eyes. He knew that Ying Yuan was determined to push the situation to the end.

"My lord is wise, I will fully cooperate with you."

Ying Yuan sat down slowly, his eyes still as cold as before.

"The collusion between the Xiongnu and the remnants of the noble families is at the core of this storm, and their plans have been fully exposed."

"Now, we just need to completely cut off every link of theirs."

"When this storm is over, the court of our Great Qin will usher in an unprecedented clarity and brightness."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord, what you said is absolutely right."

“In this situation, all hostile forces have been exposed and they have no place to hide anymore.”

"As long as we continue to oppress them, their power will quickly collapse."

Ying Yuan sneered, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.

"The remaining members of the noble families were bent on using the power of the external enemy to counterattack, but they didn't know that they had already been led into a desperate situation step by step by me."

"This time, I want more than just victory. I want them to lose the power to fight back."

Chen Ping then said: "I understand that this operation is not only a victory on the battlefield, but also a political reckoning."

"We will use this victory to completely destroy the confidence of the remaining members of the aristocratic families."

Ying Yuan nodded slowly, and then said: "As for the Xiongnu, although they are powerful, they have been dragged into the quagmire of exhaustion by us."

"If we give them one more severe blow, their will to fight will be completely broken."

Chen Ping secretly admired Ying Yuan in his heart. Every step he took was full of decisiveness and wisdom.

"Your Excellency is wise. Although the Xiongnu cavalry is good at fighting, their lack of logistics is their biggest fatal weakness."

"As long as we hold them back, their advantage will quickly disappear."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "The Xiongnu thought they could use guerrilla tactics to drag down our Great Qin, but they underestimated our Great Qin's strength."

"This time, I will not only repel the Huns, but also completely destroy their confidence through this war."

Chen Ping responded in a low voice: "I will do my best to assist you in achieving this goal."

Ying Yuan slowly stood up and looked into the distance, as if he had already seen the final outcome of the entire battle.

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

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Son!"

Xiahou Ying came hurriedly with an excitement that could not be concealed on his face.

"Good news came from the border. Our army's defense line in the south has successfully blocked the Xiongnu's attack!" Ying Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said calmly: "The Xiongnu's offensive has been contained. Now it's time for us to counterattack."

"Pass the order down, gather all your strength and prepare to launch a full-scale counterattack."

A hint of excitement flashed in Xiahou Ying's eyes, and he immediately bowed and replied, "I understand. I will arrange it immediately."

Ying Yuan's eyes remained calm, he knew that the situation had entered its final moment.

"Although the Xiongnu cavalry are good at fighting, they have lost their initial spirit."

"As long as we seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the Huns' entire plan will collapse."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord, what you said is absolutely right."

“Now is the perfect time to fight back.”

Ying Yuan's eyes were stern and his fingers tapped lightly on the desk, as if he had already played out the entire steps of the counterattack in his mind.

"The Xiongnu's logistics supply is already difficult to maintain, and their main force is in trouble on the southern defense line."

"Send a message to the generals on the border to launch a surprise attack and completely defeat the main force of the Xiongnu cavalry."

"At the same time, order the main force of the Central Army to move south to cooperate with the border troops to encircle the enemy."

There was a hint of awe in Chen Ping's eyes. Every step of Ying Yuan's plan was precise and in place, as if he had already seen through the changes in the entire battle situation.

"I understand. I will convey your order immediately."

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

He knew that the end of this storm was not far away.

Whether it is the Huns or the remnants of the aristocratic families, their fate will be completely determined under his control.

The victory of this storm is destined to belong to him, Ying Yuan.

"Get ready. Everything has entered the countdown."

Ying Yuan whispered, his eyes flashing with great confidence.

Chen Ping responded in a low voice, then turned and left.

Silence returned to the study room again.

Ying Yuan stood in front of the desk, his eyes sharp. Through the light and shadow outside the window, he seemed to see the impending victory.

The battle situation was under his control from the very beginning.

And now, the dawn of victory has begun to illuminate the entire territory of Daqin.

The defeat of the Huns was certain, and the end of the remaining aristocratic families had also come.

The final outcome of this storm will be written by him personally.

Ying Yuan stood quietly on the corridor of Xianyang Palace, and the sound of bells could be heard faintly from afar.

His eyes were fixed on the palace complex in front of him, but his heart was filled with waves.

Although the good news from the border temporarily stabilized the situation, Ying Yuan knew that the real threat had not disappeared.

On the contrary, in Xianyang City, the power struggle in the palace became increasingly fierce.

Those officials in the court who claimed to be neutral had actually begun to secretly move closer to different forces.

Ying Yuan had already noticed their actions in this storm.

Chen Ping walked hurriedly into the corridor with a serious look on his face.

"Sir, I have important news to report."

Ying Yuan turned around, frowned slightly, and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Chen Ping whispered, "I have received a secret report that several ministers in the palace, especially the leaders of the neutral faction, have been in frequent contact with the remnants of the aristocratic families recently."

"They seem to be plotting a conspiracy against you, young master."

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he clenched his fingers gently, as if he had realized that the hidden crisis was gradually approaching. (End of this chapter)
