As the night deepened, everything in Xianyang city became quieter.

However, the lights in Ying Yuan's study were still on.

The candlelight shone on his stern face, making him look even more resolute.

He stood in front of the desk, staring at the border war report that had just been delivered, his brows slightly furrowed.

The Huns' attack has been fully launched.

They came with great force, trying to use this war to disrupt the Qin's defenses and even shake the Qin's foundation in one fell swoop.

"The Huns finally took action."

Ying Yuan said softly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"But they clearly underestimated my preparation."

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Chen Ping quickly walked into the study with a serious expression.

"Sir, the situation on the border is urgent."

"The Xiongnu has mobilized a large number of elite troops this time with a very clear purpose, which is to destroy our defense line in a short period of time."

Ying Yuan smiled lightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

“They are too impatient.”

"They thought that a sudden attack would disrupt the deployment of our Great Qin, but they had already stepped into my trap."

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, then showed a hint of admiration.

"Sir, have you anticipated the Xiongnu's attack?"

Ying Yuan nodded slowly, his tone full of confidence.

"I saw through their intentions when they started to frequently harass the border."

"These Huns are nothing more than pawns in the hands of the rebels."

"They wanted to use the power of the Xiongnu to disrupt the situation in Daqin, and even instigated the generals on the border to rebel, but they underestimated me."

Chen Ping nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Your vision is indeed far-sighted."

"I have already deployed all-round defenses on the border according to your orders. If the Xiongnu dare to advance, they will be swallowed up by our defense line."

Ying Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes cold.

"very good."

"The Huns' attack is the perfect time for us to launch a full-scale counterattack."

"I want to make them pay the heaviest price in the shortest possible time."

He turned around and faced Chen Ping with a determined look in his eyes.

"Order the border commanders to counterattack as planned. Don't worry about the number of the Xiongnu. As long as we follow our strategic deployment, their advantage will inevitably vanish."

"As for those hesitant generals, if they dare to make any unusual moves, they will be killed immediately."

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

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep and his tone was a little cold.

"There is no neutrality on the battlefield. Everyone in this game has only the choice of standing on one side."

"To hesitate is to die."

Chen Ping nodded silently, then said, "Sir, do you want to take action against the rebels in the court in advance?"

Ying Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he sneered, "Now is not the time."

"I need them to be completely exposed."

"These rebels thought that the Xiongnu could be their support, but they didn't know that I could use the Xiongnu's power to uproot them."

Chen Ping's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he said, "I understand."

"My Lord, you must take advantage of the Xiongnu's offensive to lure out all the hidden rebels and capture them all in one fell swoop."

Ying Yuan nodded slowly, his eyes filled with extreme coldness.

"The rebels have been lurking for many years and have taken deep roots in the court. Their power cannot be underestimated."

"But as long as I expose them step by step, eventually, they will have nowhere to escape."

"And the iron cavalry of our Great Qin will become their nightmare."

Chen Ping secretly admired Ying Yuan's far-reaching layout.

Not only did he have to deal with the invasion of the Huns, but he also had to deal with the rebellion in the court at the same time, which required extremely high wisdom and courage.

"Sir, I will continue to monitor the movements of the rebels according to the plan."

"However, do we need to make some arrangements in advance with the Queen and Queen Mother in the palace?"

Ying Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes calm.

"No need for now."

"Although the Queen and the Queen Mother have their own plans, they don't have the capital to really act yet." "As long as I have a firm grasp of the situation, they won't dare to act rashly."

Chen Ping nodded, and then said, "I understand."

Ying Yuan said softly, "Tell the Royal Guards to continue monitoring the movements of the Queen and the Queen Mother, but don't alert them for now."

"I want them to think they are still in a safe place until I decide to unveil the final chapter of this storm."

Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then said: "I will make proper arrangements."

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold and his voice was low and powerful.

"This war is not only about fighting the Xiongnu externally, but also about cleansing the internal affairs."

"All those who betrayed the Qin Dynasty must pay the price."

Chen Ping bowed and retreated, but Ying Yuan's eyes remained cold.

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

Whether it was the Huns on the border, the rebels in the court, or even the undercurrents in the palace, their cards were gradually revealed in this storm.

But he always controls the whole situation.

"No matter how fierce the storm is, in the end, I will be the only winner."

His eyes sparkled with incomparable determination and confidence.

Time passed quietly, and the night outside grew darker.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the study again.

A Jinyiwei leader walked quickly into the study with a nervous look on his face.

"Sir, some officials in the rebel party have begun to gather secretly and seem to be planning a large-scale operation."

Ying Yuan's gaze suddenly turned cold, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sure enough, they couldn't hold back."

The Jinyiwei leader continued, "According to our intelligence, Li Jue and Yan Su have already met secretly, and they are discussing further plans with the Xiongnu envoys."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"These rats thought the Xiongnu could be their backers, but they didn't know that they were on their way to an end."

"Inform the Royal Guards to continue monitoring their every move, but do not act rashly."

"I need them to be completely exposed."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard respectfully accepted the order and immediately withdrew.

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, his thoughts running fast.

"Li Jue and Yan Su have already started to act, which means their plan has entered the final stage."

“But this is my opportunity.”

"As long as they reveal more flaws, I can take advantage of the situation and catch them all in one fell swoop."

He stood up, his eyes deep, and walked to the window.

The wind outside was still howling, as if the storm was approaching.

"All enemies will be completely destroyed in this storm."

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it had already announced the fate of these rebels.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

A eunuch walked into the study and said respectfully, "Sir, the Queen Mother invites you."

Ying Yuan was slightly startled, then frowned slightly.

"The Queen Mother summoned me at this time. Could it be that she noticed something?"

He thought for a moment, then said, "Tell the Queen Mother that I will be there later."

The eunuch left, but Ying Yuan's eyes remained calm.

"The Queen Mother took action at this time, obviously she has noticed the change in the situation in the palace."

"It seems that she has already started to take action."

He smiled gently, his eyes revealing great confidence.

"No matter what their purpose is, in the end, I will be the one controlling this storm."

As I walked out of the study, the wind whistled past.

Ying Yuan's figure was still upright, and his steps were steady and firm.

No matter how fierce the storm is, he always stands in the center of the storm, calmly controlling everything.

"All enemies and conspiracies will be wiped out by my sword."

He whispered to himself. (End of this chapter)
