"That's it. I suggest that this time collecting supplies, let me and the veteran general Pan Zhen go together." Xing Jian said to Zhao Yang and Pan Zhen.

"What's the reason?" Zhao Yang looked at his "brother" and showed a puzzled expression.

"This time I collected cold-proof materials, it was a surprise. The nobles in various places were probably unwilling to hand over the property they had in their hands to outsiders. Those greedy nobles probably didn't care about anything except their own acre of three-point land. Letting the old general of Pan Town go is to have enough power to shock the little girl, and this time I went directly on behalf of the Zhao family. As long as it was not to make the people live in trouble, even the Emperor would only turn a blind eye and close one. Maybe, killing these useless nobles is what His Majesty the Emperor would be willing to see."

"Then why should we go together? Like you say that, it's enough for you to go alone with the teacher!" Zhao Yang asked.

"It's not enough, it's far from enough. Once you attack these local nobles, I'm afraid that all the nobles in the north will be furious. At that time, I, the Zhao family, will take the responsibility. The real collection of cold-proof materials will be handed over to the old general Panzhen. If all the old general Panzhen is responsible, then in the future, it will be easy to be stabbed by these vampire-like nobles. After all, the old general's roots are in the north, but the Zhao family is different. As long as this war is won, the Zhao family will be further improved in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. I don't believe that those little nobles will dare to challenge the Zhao family because of a little supplies!" Xing Jian said with great analysis, and Pan Zhen and Zhao Yang were stunned.

Of course, neither of them is simple characters, and it will be clear soon what this means.

That is to say, Pan Zhen is responsible for grabbing things, and Xing Jian is responsible for taking the blame.

And two people, no one alone, was able to live in the north. Although Pan Zhen lived in the north, he had military power, but it was to resist foreign enemies and could not be used at will. Once he offended all the nobles in the north, he would be unable to move forward in the future.

The "Zhao Yu" in Zhao Yang's eyes has enough status to suppress the nobles in these places, but it is too young and not good enough to require a killer like Pan Zhen.

Therefore, this time, we need to collect cold-resisting materials, mainly "Zhao Yu" and supplemented by Pan Zhen.

Pan Zhen is devoted to the country, so he naturally won’t get angry with Zhao Yang for such a trivial matter.

The nobles in the north did not have the courage to challenge the Zhao family.

"Okay, Zhao Yu obeys the order."

"The last one will obey the order!"

"I ordered you to collect cold-proof materials in the north, the sooner the better. The snow wolf's army is about to arrive and must be completed within a week."

"Get orders!"

"Panzhen!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Follow Zhao Yu and collect cold-proof materials. At critical moments, I will take action first and report. I have the cheap power given by His Majesty the Emperor. When the country is in trouble, it is time for these nobles to bleed up!"

"Get orders!"

...

"Yeah, stupid mortal!" Xing Jian looked at Zhao Yang and Pan Zhen with a smile.

Among the four major cities in the north, Xingjian asked Xingchen to investigate clearly how many supplies, food, money, clothing, and soldiers were there. The remaining ones were robbery.

In the afternoon of that day, Xingjian and Pan Zhen carried a hundred iron cavalry and moved forward lightly.

We arrived in Xifeng City at noon the next day.

Xingchen is already waiting here.

"It snowed heavily yesterday. I had guessed that the clothes of the soldiers in front of me were not enough to resist the severe cold, so I ordered people to prepare two thousand cotton coats, some stoves and braziers and coal. My western city was small, and this was the limit. I hope the general will not blame him." Xingchen lowered his attitude.

Pan Zhen nodded slightly. The population of the western border was less than 20,000, so it was indeed not easy to get these supplies.

"Check and accept!"

...

"Three Master, please forgive me for saying too much. The character of the second Master is very different from the legendary one. I thought he would use the excuse of the small Xifeng City as an excuse to refuse to provide supplies!" Pan Zhen said as he walked.

"Since my second brother was sent to Xiqiu City, his personality has been much more restrained, and his temperament is not as extreme as before. Perhaps when my father sent my second brother to Xiqiu City, he wanted to train his second brother's character. After all, his ability is obvious to all."

Pan Zhen nodded slightly.

After half a day, they arrived at the largest city in the north, Luocheng.

Luocheng is known as the Northland Pearl, with a population of more than 700,000, which is quite magnificent and grand. Major chambers of commerce gather and is also the richest city in the Northland.

"The old general Panzhen and the third son of the Zhao family are here, and they are welcomed by mistakes and are welcomed by mistakes!" They were greeted by a gentle young man: "It suddenly fell heavily in the north. My father learned that he had already started preparing cold-proof supplies since yesterday, and asked the two generals to follow me to the city lord's mansion. My father will arrive later."

"My father Guo Qi, I am my father's eldest son, Guo Wen." The young son Guo Wen brought his group into the city lord's mansion.

"The house has already paid a banquet to welcome the two of you."

"We still have military affairs..."

"Okay, I've been hungry all the way, and I can finally have a hot meal!" Xing Jian agreed while winking Pan Zhen.

Although Pan Zhen has a straightforward personality, he is a mature person after all. He doesn't say much now and follows Xingjian to the banquet.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a smile on his face came up.

"I have met two generals in the city lord of Xialuo City, Guo Qi." Guo Qi looked at the two people with a gentle expression.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Pan Zhen also drank red in his cheeks. The three of them whispered and called him brother.

"Master Guo is well-versed in the news, I'm afraid it's just the purpose of me!" Xing Jian said with a smile.

"Of course, it was autumn now, but I didn't expect a heavy snow to come two months earlier than last year. It might be difficult for the army to have a hard time, so Marshal Zhao Yang sent two to confiscate the cold-resisting supplies. I know, I know, I'm ready." Guo Qi seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, but he knew it in his heart. While saying that, he took out the list of supplies from his arms.

Xingjian took it, looked it over, smiled and had no fluctuations, and handed over the list of supplies in his hand to Pan Zhen next to him. Pan Zhen took advantage of the candlelight and just read the first few words, he immediately slapped the table and was furious.

I saw that the first line of the material list read "Five thousand cotton coats."

You should know that the population of the small town in the western border is only 20,000, and it has collected 2,000 cotton coats. Luocheng has a population of 700,000, and countless nobles and wealthy businessmen. He has only taken out 5,000 cotton coats, which is simply too much.

"Don't be angry at the veteran general. Let's hear what Lord Guo said. However, Lord Guo, you are indeed a little bit short of things. Should we have an explanation?"
