Chapter 403: Thunderous Means, Eve of the Storm

"Inform the border commanders to proceed according to the original plan and not to panic."

"Our main force has not yet been fully deployed. The more eager the Huns are to attack, the more vulnerable their rear defense will be."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "I understand. You want to wait until the Xiongnu's follow-up forces are completely exposed, and then counterattack in one fell swoop."

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

"good."

"Although the Huns seemed to be unstoppable, their attack was incomplete."

"Their food and reinforcements have not yet arrived. A forceful attack will only accelerate their collapse."

"We just need to wait until they run out of food and become exhausted, and then we can launch a counterattack."

Chen Ping looked solemn and secretly admired him in his heart.

"Young Master is indeed far-sighted."

"I will immediately convey the order to the border commanders to continue to hold their positions and wait for the Xiongnu to make a mistake."

Ying Yuan nodded, and then said: "Besides that, you need to pay close attention to the situation in the DPRK."

"The queen is too close to several important officials in the court. I am worried that she has begun to secretly contact the rebels."

Chen Ping's expression froze, and he immediately said, "I have already stepped up my surveillance of the Queen, but she has been acting very secretively lately, and many of her contacts have been conducted in secret."

"But I am confident that as long as the queen makes the slightest movement, we will be able to grasp her actions."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"The queen thought she was hiding well, but in fact, every step she took was under my control."

"Continue to monitor her every move, but don't alarm her."

"I want her to think she is gradually gaining power. Only in this way will she be completely exposed."

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

Ying Yuan's eyes revealed cold determination, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making rhythmic sounds.

"The queen is just a pawn. There are bigger forces behind her fanning the flames."

"The goal of these forces is not only the position of the crown prince, but also the power of the entire Qin Dynasty."

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, then showed some alertness.

"My Lord, are you saying that there are other forces behind the Queen who are instigating rebellion?"

Ying Yuan sneered, then said, "Of course."

"She can't fight the entire court on her own."

"The rebels behind the scenes have long been plotting in secret, trying to overthrow the current situation with the help of the Xiongnu."

"But they clearly underestimated my preparation."

Chen Ping was amazed in his heart, and then said: "Young Master really sees through everything."

"I will do my best to ensure that every move of the Queen and the rebels is under our control."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, and then said, "Go."

"Remember, be careful in everything you do and don't alert the enemy."

Chen Ping accepted the order respectfully and then quickly retreated.

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep and his thoughts were running fast.

He knew that the situation in the court had entered the most critical moment.

Both the Huns' attack and the power struggle in the court were gradually approaching the most intense stage.

And he must remain absolutely calm at this moment.

“All the pieces have fallen.”

"Next, I just have to wait for them to make a fatal mistake."

He smiled gently, his eyes flashing with great confidence and coldness.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

A eunuch hurried into the study, looking nervous.

"Sir, there is movement from the Queen Mother's side."

"She just summoned several important officials in the court, and they seemed to be discussing how to deal with the war on the border."

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

"The Queen Mother is really not idle." "She obviously wants to use this border war to gain more power."

The eunuch said respectfully, "Sir, do we need to take action in advance?"

Ying Yuan smiled coldly and then shook his head.

"No need for now."

"The Queen Mother has not been completely exposed yet. She is just testing the direction of the court."

"We just need to wait and see until she reveals more flaws."

The eunuch nodded and then withdrew.

Ying Yuan's eyes were still stern, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

"Queen Mother, Empress, Huns, rebels, you all play your respective roles in this chess game."

"But the final outcome has already been determined."

"I will reveal your true colors one by one, and finally, defeat you in one fell swoop."

He smiled gently, his eyes revealing extreme coldness and determination.

The sky gradually brightened, but undercurrents were still surging in Xianyang City.

The storm is coming, and Ying Yuan is ready to face it all.

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

His voice was low and powerful, as if it had announced the end of the storm.

He knew that he was the real master in this power game.

The chess game has been set, and the swords are about to clash.

And he will surely achieve final victory in this storm.

The wind was still howling, as if playing the prelude to the upcoming decisive battle.

Ying Yuan stood in the study, staring at the distant sky.

"The storm is coming."

He whispered to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

No matter how the enemy plans, no matter how dense the conspiracy is, the final winner will only be him.

The outcome of the chess game will soon be revealed, and the outcome of the battle is entirely under his control.

Night fell quietly, and the city of Xianyang seemed even quieter under the cover of darkness.

But the atmosphere in the palace seemed particularly depressing in the darkness.

Ying Yuan sat alone in the study, the flickering candlelight shining on his stern face.

He knew that this night was destined to be restless.

"The Queen Mother has already started to act, and the Queen is also preparing to make moves in secret."

"The situation on the border concerns all parties in the DPRK."

"This storm is approaching its final outbreak."

He whispered to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Ying Yuan had already made preparations, waiting for all the enemies to reveal their weaknesses.

And every step he took was like a thunderous attack, ready to strike hard at any time.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Sir, urgent military report!"

A messenger walked quickly into the study with a nervous look on his face and handed the military report in his hand to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan took the military report and quickly scanned it. There was no change in his expression and he remained as calm as usual.

"The Huns' offensive has indeed become more fierce."

"They have already approached the important border towns of our Great Qin."

His voice remained calm, but there was an unfathomable coldness in his eyes.

The messenger said cautiously: "Sir, the generals on the border request that reinforcements be sent as soon as possible, otherwise the important town will be in danger."

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

"Tell them not to panic and to proceed according to the original plan." (End of this chapter)
