Chapter 899: From luxury to frugality

"And what else have you heard?" Cang Jiuyao continued to ask about albinism.

Bai Hua thought for a while, and suddenly said: "One thing is very strange, this winter, there is a shortage of food in Northern Xinjiang, but they will choose this most difficult time to gather a large army thousands of miles away to go to Jiayun Pass, and it seems that in a very short period of time, I overheard General Gu and General Zuo say that this time the army in Northern Xinjiang seems to have come lightly and did not bring a lot of baggage. ”

Bai Hua looked at Cang Jiuyao's face, paused and continued: "Even people like subordinates who join the army halfway know that the battle between the two sides must be the first before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass. Isn't that weird, Miss? ”

Cang Jiuyao bowed his head shallowly.

Albino waited for Cang Jiuyao to speak, but Cang Jiuyao looked at a point on the side, as if thinking about something.

Bai Hua didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, until Cang Jiuyao's eyes moved slightly and came back to his senses, and Bai Hua asked thoughtfully: "Miss, why do you say that Northern Xinjiang is like this?" ”

Cang Jiuyao sighed lightly, took a sip of the tea that was already slightly cold, and slowly put down the teacup before saying: "The land in northern Xinjiang is barren, and there has always been a war to feed the war. ”

Bai Hua nodded: "This subordinate knows this, but is this Northern Frontier Army so confident that it can capture our Jiayun Pass this time?" ”

Cang Jiuyao snorted: "The people of Northern Xinjiang are brave and at the same time they are not brainless, they dare to be so light and simple with only a small amount of baggage, naturally because someone will give them supplies, otherwise where do you think they have the courage to dare to march and send troops in this winter." ”

When Cang Jiuyao said this, he understood: "Miss, you mean ......?"

Cang Jiuyao bowed lightly, and the two of them knew it.

Bai Hua was silent for a while, although he knew some things, but after all, because his status in Jiayun Pass was not high, many questions Cang Wensheng and others naturally would not deliberately inform him, so it was just a guess.

But Cang Jiuyao's words are the implementation of his long-standing conjecture.

Albino didn't say anything else, because there were many things he wasn't supposed to say.

Later, the remnant asked a few more questions about albino before getting up to leave.

It was already late when he got out of the albino room, and Cang Jiu Yaoxin said that it seemed that he couldn't get much useful information from the second-line personnel of albino. still need to start with Gu Quanzhen and Zuo Zhengming.

After a long time, she once again lay in the room that belonged to her in the General's Mansion, but she only felt that this room was a little cold and the bed was a little hard.

Once upon a time, being able to lie on this bed after months of marching was the happiest thing in the world for Cang Jiuyao.

But now......

In the dark night, she let out a wry smile, it was really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it was difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

When he was in Huaifeng, he didn't notice those small changes, and it wasn't until he returned here again that he was able to appreciate the comfort of Yunxia Tower, which was carefully arranged, and the warmth when he was around.

I didn't sleep well all night.

After Cang Jiuyao got up early to practice as usual, she went to Cang Wensheng's study wearing a practice uniform.

But he learned that Cang Wensheng had already gone to the army with Gu Quanzhen to watch the recruit drills.

Cang Jiuyao thought for a while and asked, "What about General Zuo?" ”

"I didn't see General Zuo in the morning." Xiao Si, who was waiting for Cang Wensheng, replied.

Cang Jiuyao left with a shallow chin on his head.
