As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Cao Er rushed directly into the commander's tent.

Just as Ke Bineng was about to ask, he heard Cao Er's roar.

"My lords, this 10,000-strong army is your soldiers!"

"It's okay to starve me, Cao Er, I'm already dead, but are you going to starve to death the soldiers under your command?"

Cao Er was full of anger, staring at Fu Luo Han and Ke Bineng with hatred.

They have been questioning from the beginning of the account, and they are not even willing to give the two of them a chance to defend themselves.

Cao Er was really going to explode. If it wasn't for some unavoidable reasons, he would rather die than help these two idiots.

The food does not belong to the two of them, it is provided by the imperial court every month, and even in this case, they are reluctant to provide military food!

If it wasn't for Cao Er's usual frugality, he wouldn't be able to survive now.

But the military rations of these ten thousand people have lasted until today.

Cao Er was worried that there would be a shocking change among these ten thousand people, so he had no choice but to retreat from the street pavilion.

"Brother Cao, stop complaining."

"To tell you the truth, Daying has been out of food for three days!"

Ke Bineng's words immediately made Cao Er's eyes widen, showing a look of horror.

"what!"

"Why didn't you send someone to tell me earlier!"

Cao Er has seen what it means to be 'not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs'.

For such a big matter, Fu Luohan and Ke Bineng actually kept it from him!

Being questioned by Cao Er made Ke Bineng both helpless and innocent.

"Second brother Cao, you didn't deliver food to you three days ago, don't you understand?"

The corners of Cao Er's eyes twitched, and he was speechless immediately.

What Kebi can say makes sense!

"Hey! It's my fault too!"

"I've been saving money, and I've always had some surplus food, so I'm not too anxious!"

"What's going on? Did you send someone to Chang'an? Did the transportation of grain and grass delay for some time?"

What Cao Er wants to hear the most is that the grain and grass are on the way!

This answer is not only what Cao Er wants to hear, but also what Fu Luo Han and Ke Bi can want to hear.

It's a pity that the two Xianbei leaders in front of him couldn't give him this answer.

"I don't know, several groups of soldiers have been sent there, but no one has returned yet."

"Three days ago, I ordered my general Qi Tu to lead an army of 30,000 to Chang'an, and there is no news yet!"

Broken, something happened to Chang'an!

Cao Er exclaimed in his heart, and immediately knew the problem.

Although it is not clear what exactly happened, Cao Er is very sure that there must be something wrong with Chang'an.

"Mr. Cao Er, you are very resourceful, what do you think?"

"Ahem..."

Cao Er coughed a few times, trying to hide his panic.

"General Qitu should have led his army to Huayin."

"It should... be fine!"

Fu Luohan snorted coldly, full of disdain for Cao Er's analysis.

"Is it okay? I'll lock you up and starve you for three days, and then tell me if it's okay!"

Fu Luohan's words shocked Cao Er even more.

I have been hungry for three days!

"Both leaders, the war in the Central Plains is tense, and I'm afraid there is a shortage of food..."

"what!"

Fu Luohan was furious when he heard that, Cao Cao dared to cut off their food without permission!

"What the hell does Cao Cao mean! Believe it or not, we rushed into the Central Plains immediately and took his lair!"

Cao Er sneered in his heart, he was not afraid of Fu Luo Han's threat at all.

With the current state of the Xianbei army, they would starve to death before reaching Xuchang, and they are still showing off their abilities!

But in the Xianbei Camp, Cao Er did not dare to reveal his feelings.

The current situation has long been out of Cao Er's control.

If you want to survive, you must be humble!

"Help Master Luo Han calm down, I guess this is not Cao Sikong's intention."

"How about this, how about I go to Huayin myself, forcefully mobilize the surrounding grain in the name of Cao Sikong, and then transport it to Qi County as quickly as possible?"

Seeing that Fu Luo Han and Ke Bineng were silent, Cao Er hurriedly spoke again.

"Don't worry, my lords, I will definitely raise food and grass!"

It's a pity that Ke Bineng is not thinking about whether Cao Er can raise food and grass, but whether the Xianbei army can wait until the food and grass arrive.

"Mr. Cao Er, how many days do you need? Or, how many days will it take for Daying in Qixian County to receive food?"

Cao Er frowned, but didn't answer right away.

Cao Er was just looking for an opportunity to escape, not sincerely begging for food for the two of them.

How can the two be willing to let him go?

Cao Er, who claims to be resourceful, is also in a situation where he can't do anything at this moment.

From Qi County to Huayin, Cao Er didn't eat or drink, and didn't stop for a moment, it also took two days.

It takes at least one day to raise food and grass, and at least two to three days for transportation.

Adding up the back and forth, I am afraid it will take six to ten days!

Not to mention ten days, I am afraid that after six days, all the Xianbei people will starve to death!

If it is said to be six days, Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan will definitely not agree.

The two are not fools, how can they give him six days?

But if it's two or three days, the purpose of escaping will be exposed immediately.

What should I do!

Cao Er's face was calm, but his heart was extremely flustered, and sweat began to ooze from his forehead.

At this moment, Ke Bi Neng took the initiative to speak.

"Mr. Cao Er, I'll give you five days, can you bring back the food and grass?"

"Five days..."

Cao Er didn't answer immediately, but pretended to be lost in thought.

But Fu Luohan couldn't bear it anymore, why did he wait for five days?

Just when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Ke Bineng's eyes.

After thinking about it, Fu Luohan still obeyed Ke Bineng's intention and didn't open his mouth to question.

At this time, Cao Er finally nodded with a serious face.

"Master Ke Bineng, don't worry, within five days, I will definitely come back with food and grass!"

"I, Cao Er, swear to the sky, if I break my promise, I will die, Cao Er!"

In order to make Kebi believe it, Cao Er also made an oath to the sky.

Ke Bi Neng nodded, his eyes were full of relief.

"Okay, Mr. Cao Er, I will wait for you here for five days!"

"Don't let me down!"

Cao Er hastily bowed and saluted, and his eyes were moved with tears.

"Master Ke Bineng, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"It's not too late, I... I will take my leave!"

Ke Bineng also showed reluctance, and followed Cao Er's example and handed him off.

"Mr. Cao Er, take care!"

Cao Er nodded heavily, then walked out of the tent without any further hesitation.

Not long after, there was a sound of galloping horses, and it was a little hasty.

"Cao Er is gone..."

Fu Luo Han looked at Ke Bineng full of doubts, he needed an explanation.
