Northern bandits.
In my memory, they were a foreign ethnic group who roamed the mountains and grasslands of northern Dongning Province, living a nomadic life.
In years of famine or disaster, they have a penchant for plundering the people of the Great Gan Dynasty from the south.
As a result, the Great Gan Dynasty suffered greatly!
Even in the capital, this was no exception.
The imperial court heavily guarded the capital and was also responsible for defending against bandits from the northern grasslands.
However, in previous years, grassland bandits still broke through the passes and invaded, and places such as Shuofang, Yunzhong, and Yulin were repeatedly plundered.
Even the usually heavily guarded places like Shuofang and Yunzhong were no exception, let alone Dongning Province, which is far away on the coast of Beihai!

What a vicious heart!
What a tough start!
Prince Xin, Li Xin, could only manage a bitter smile, on the verge of tears.
"and,"
After hesitating for a moment, the steward Liu Jingxuan said, "Your Highness, according to various clues, the bandits from the northern grasslands have gathered over a thousand troops, and there are signs that their forces are heading straight for Dongning City!"
Your Highness, Dongning City needs to make plans as soon as possible!
"ah?"
Prince Xin, Li Xin, was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "Damn it!"
"They're just a thousand bandits, right? The entire province can handle them!"
