"Your Highness also knows that the Eastern Barbarians make a living by raising horses and herding cattle and sheep. The weather last year was very cold. It is said that the snow fell as high as the tents. Countless cattle and sheep in the Eastern Barbarians froze to death, and many people also froze to death."
Liao Yin said: "Now that the weather is warm, they can't wait to come to the Central Plains."
The place where the Khitan people live is already cold, but last year the La Niña effect caught up with it, and the cold disaster was much more severe than that in Sichuan and Sichuan.
"Yes, sir, it was a cold winter last year. It was so cold in Sichuan and Sichuan, let alone in the north."
The Ninth Princess muttered to herself and asked, "Where are they now?"
"The spy came to report that he arrived in Chanzhou yesterday. It is estimated that he will reach the north bank of the Yellow River in a few days." Liao Yin replied.
"Have you all arrived in Chanzhou?" Princess Ninth's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Chanzhou is Puyang, Henan, where Jin Feng lived in his previous life, and is only a few hundred miles away from the capital of Dakang on the south bank of the Yellow River.
When the Khitans invaded the Central Plains, they basically used cavalry, and they could reach the north bank of the Yellow River in just a few days.
"Captain Liao, how many people have come from the Eastern Barbarians?"
Princess Ninth asked again.
Liao Yin was not only a captain of the Red Armor Military Academy, but also one of the emperor's informants.
After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "It is said that there are more than 30,000 people."
"Thirty thousand people!"
When the Ninth Princess heard this, her mind couldn't help but explode.
The Khitan people are more ferocious than the Dangxiang people, and the Central Plains is suitable for cavalry warfare. With 30,000 Khitan cavalry, there is almost no opponent in Dakang.
No, Dakang doesn’t have anyone who can deal with the cavalry!
Jin Feng defeated the cavalry in both Qingshui Valley and Damang Slope!
And every time, less wins more!
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Ninth Princess, and she took out a letter from her arms: "Captain Liao, send this letter to Luo Lan from the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce!"
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass your subordinates. Your Majesty has told you that you must not let anyone know that you are here."
Liao Yin said with a troubled face.
"Captain Liao, the Eastern Barbarians are coming!"
The Ninth Princess couldn't help but exaggerate her tone: "In the whole of Dakang, except Mr. Jin from Jinchuan, who can stop the 30,000 Eastern barbarian cavalry?"
"Mr. Jin?"
When Liao Yin heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
He also thought of Jin Feng's achievements.
But he lowered his head and looked at the envelope in Ninth Princess's hand and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I don't dare to make decisions on the matter that Your Majesty has told me without authorization. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will report this matter to Your Majesty."
of."
"Mr. Jin is far away in Sichuan and Sichuan. When you report to my father, go and inform him. The Eastern Barbarians have already attacked!"
The Ninth Princess said coldly: "You just go and deliver the letter. If my father blames you afterwards, I will bear all the responsibility!"
In the end, Liao Yin still shook his head: "Your Highness, it really can't be done!"
"Liao Yin, why are you so stubborn!"
The Ninth Princess was so angry that she stamped her feet: "You are also a veteran. You should know that the opportunity to fight cannot be delayed. Stop hesitating. If you hesitate any longer, the Eastern Barbarians have surrounded the capital. It will be too late to go find Mr. Jin!"
When Liao Yin heard this, his face was full of confusion. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but turned around and left.
No matter how much the Ninth Princess shouted from behind, he did not look back.
"This is so stupid!"
The Ninth Princess gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
When I returned to my yard, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became.
Every time the Khitan came to the Central Plains, the lions opened their mouths.
The least one was twice the annual tribute in previous years.
The damage was severe this time, so we don’t know how much we will ask for.
But no matter how much it is, given the current emptiness of Dakang’s treasury, this money and food will eventually fall on the people.
The Sichuan-Sichuan area, one of the granaries, suffered another disaster last year. Regular taxes can no longer be afforded. If additional taxes are increased, the people will have no choice but to rebel.
Thinking of this, the Ninth Princess thought about it again and again, and then called Qin'er over.
"Qin'er, go and call Captain Qin!"
While Qin'er went to call someone, the Ninth Princess picked up the brush and started writing furiously.
When Qin'er came in with Qin Ming, the ninth princess happened to finish writing the letter.
"Zhuer, seal it!"
Princess Ninth handed the envelope to Zhu'er and looked up at Qin'er: "Qin'er, can you climb over the courtyard wall in this house?"
"Okay!" Qin'er nodded, then hesitated and asked, "What does Your Highness want to do?"
"This letter from me must be sent out, so wait a minute. Captain Qin will lead the guards to stop the Red Armor Army. You can climb over the wall and get out. No matter what, you must deliver the letter to the people of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce!" Ninth Princess
said.
"Your Highness, think twice!"
When Qin Ming heard this, his expression changed drastically.
He came from the Royal Forest Army and knew the significance of the Red Armor Army very well.
If you fight against the Red Armored Army, whether you can win or not is not a matter of fact. You will definitely be liquidated by the emperor afterwards.
This crime is really too big.
"The Eastern Barbarians are invading, and no one in Dakang can solve this crisis except Mr."
The Ninth Princess did not hide it from Qin Ming and told Qin Ming what Liao Yin had just said.
As the captain of the Ninth Princess's bodyguard, Qin Ming naturally knew about her and Jin Feng.
Just now I thought that the Ninth Princess was lovesick, so she desperately wanted to contact Jin Feng.
Now after listening to the Ninth Princess's explanation, I know the whole story.
I also know why the Ninth Princess is so anxious.
Yes, the Ninth Princess was right. Apart from Jin Feng, Qin Ming really couldn't think of anyone else in Dakang who could cope with the current situation.
Wanting to understand this, Qin Ming nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely stop the Red Armor Army even if I die!"
"The Red Armor Army is not the enemy. Captain Qin just needs to stop them and allow Qin'er to leave. There is no need to decide between life and death."
The Ninth Princess said: "If my father blames me afterwards, Captain Qin can just say that I ordered you."
"Your Highness, don't underestimate me. I, Qin Ming, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"This is not a matter of fear of death, but it is unnecessary."
The Ninth Princess said: "I have already caused a lot of trouble, and I don't care about one more."
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
After explaining to Qin Ming, the Ninth Princess turned to look at Qin'er again.
"Your Highness, Qin'er must deliver the letter to the people at the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce."
Qin'er said proactively.
"I'm waiting for you to come back!"
The Ninth Princess nodded: "I'm going to find Lieutenant Liao. If you hear the chaos in the front yard, take action quickly!"
After saying that, she took off the hand crossbow given to her by Jin Feng from the wall, hid it in her sleeve, and strode out.
Then he went to the front yard to find Liao Yin. Without saying anything, the ninth princess took out the crossbow and pointed it at Liao Yin's head.
The red-armored soldiers around him saw it and quickly gathered around.
"What are you doing?!"
Liao Yin scolded with a cold face: "Get out of here!"
Red-armored sergeant, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally dispersed obediently.
"Your Highness, what are you doing!"
Liao Yin then looked at the Ninth Princess and said helplessly: "Put this thing away quickly, don't hurt yourself again!"
"Liao Yin, I will tell you one last time, let me go!"
The Ninth Princess said coldly.
"Your Highness, even if you say it a hundred times, I will only have one answer - Impossible!"
Liao Yin simply closed his eyes: "Even if His Highness kills this subordinate, I will never let you go!"
