This was another unexpected surprise for Meng Li. There is a big difference between war elephants and ordinary elephants. There is no shortage of elephants in the South Central, but these elephants have never been trained, so it is not easy to train them to become war elephants.

Although the Wei army hunted most of the war elephants in the Battle of Ye Yu, there were still hundreds of war elephants captured by the Wei army. This time, Yang Hu gave these war elephants very generously to Meng Li, invisibly doubled Meng Li's strength. As long as Meng Li could make good use of these war elephants, there would be no problem in dominating the Southern Central.

But if Meng Li chose to be an enemy of the Wei army again, he would not dare to do so. The thousands of war elephants in Panyue Kingdom were almost destroyed, which is a living example.

Meng Li said to Yang Hu: "Mr. Yang's kindness is unforgettable in this life. I know that the army of the Celestial Empire is short of food. After returning this time, I will definitely give it all to support the army."

"Food food?" Yang Hu was obviously stunned. The Wei army had done enough work in logistics support. Not to mention fighting to Nanzhong, even if it hit Shudu, the supply of grain and grass was sufficient. The Wei army had never had any problems with logistics supply. Yang Hu didn't know why Meng Li said this. "Why did the commander of Meng's army think that our army was short of food?"

Meng Li was also surprised and said, "If your army did not lack food, why would it harass the mountain villages near Dianchi Lake?"

Yang Hu suddenly felt that there was a lot of articles here, so he asked Meng Li for details. Soon Yang Hu understood that this was Huo Yi deliberately framed the stolen goods and blamed the Wei army!

It seems that Huo Yi's methods are really vicious. Meng Li was not prepared to come to this muddy water, but Huo Yi deliberately sent the Shu army to attack and rob the Yi people's mountain villages by pretending to be Wei, killing and injuring countless Yi people, and robbing the food in the mountain villages. This successfully aroused the indignation of the Yi people and eventually made Meng Li stand opposite to the Wei army.

But Huo Yi probably didn't expect that Meng Li was no match for the Wei army, and the barbarian tribes were defeated in the end. After Meng Li failed to surrender, everything was naturally revealed.

So that's it. This time Yang Hu finally understood that after entering Nanzhong, the Wei army had always adhered to the principle of not overcoming the rivers and living peacefully with the barbarians. However, he could not resist Huo Yi's attempt to break up with the disagreement in the middle and conspired to do evil, which eventually led to the Wei army and the barbarians meeting each other.

Even the barbarians did not succeed in the end, but it was delayed for at least nearly two months. If this had not happened, the Wei army would have already taken over Wei County, advanced northward, and directly captured Shudu.

Yang Hu sneered in his heart. Huo Yi's conspiracy was indeed vicious enough, but he had to do everything he could, and in the end he was still useless.

However, Yang Hu was not prepared to spare him easily. Since Huo Yi did not talk about martial ethics, Yang Hu would not be polite. This account must be settled.

At this moment, Yang Hu didn't say anything more to Meng Li. The facts were better than words. Since Yang Hu knew about this situation, he would certainly not come to defend Meng Li directly. He invited Meng Li to Ben Gu. Of course, Meng Li did not dare to refuse. The Wei army immediately left Ye Yu and went to Ben Gu.

At the same time, Yang Hu called Zhang Tong and secretly ordered him to do some things. Zhang Tong ordered him to lead his troops to go first.

A few days later, the Wei army arrived in Bengu successfully. Yang Hu personally took Meng Li to the Wei army's grain storage area for inspection.

This was the place Meng Li wanted to take over at the beginning, but the attack of the barbarian army was not strong. They had not even broken through the most outermost defense line of the Wei army and had no chance to contact this core area.

When Meng Li stepped into the grain storage area, he was completely shocked and saw the granaries densely arranged, just like hills. Wen Qin personally opened a granary, and white rice flowed out of it.

If these grains were distributed to the barbarian tribes in the southern middle school, they would probably not be able to finish them in three or five years. The Wei army had stored so much food and grass in Bengu, so how could there be a shortage of food?

Meng Li was completely confused this time. Since the Wei army had never lacked food, why bother to think about the three melons and two dates in the Yiren tribe? There was obviously a big problem in the middle. Meng Li vaguely felt that the facts were far from as simple as he imagined.

"Governor Yang, what's going on?" Meng Li went to ask Yang Hu with a fog.

Yang Hu smiled slightly, ordered people to bring a few people, and said to Meng Li: "Can the General of Meng's tribe recognize these people?"

Meng Li looked at it for a long time and was really unfamiliar with these people. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Yang Hu said: "It is normal for the commander of Meng's army to not recognize him, but I believe the chief of your subordinates knows him. Why not let them come and take a look."

Meng Li was a little surprised, but he still asked dozens of tribal chiefs of the barbarians to come and identify them as he said.

Among them, the chief of Yunpan Village and the chief of Jiming Village were immediately excited when they saw these people and said to Meng Li: "They are the leaders who attacked our mountain village and they even recognize them in the ashes."

Meng Li was shocked. It turned out that Yang Hu brought these culprits. If these people were assigned by Yang Hu, Yang Hu would definitely not be able to hand them over. Therefore, these people must have nothing to do with Yang Hu, but who was he and who was instructed to do such a thing that both people and gods were angry?

This Meng Li is unknown.

"Governor Yang, who did these people send?"

Yang Hu smiled slightly and said, "Let them tell me."

All of these people were Shu generals. They were captured by the Wei army when they captured the outer city of Wei County. After Zhang Tong captured these prisoners of war, he did not care. He just locked them all together. This time Yang Hu asked Zhang Tong to go to the prisoner-of-war camp for interrogation, but soon caught these leading generals.

After all, there were quite a few Shu troops who participated in the attack on the Yiren Mountain Village, and some of them eventually became prisoners of the Wei army. Before, the Wei army did not deliberately investigate this matter, so these people could naturally get away with it.

But as long as the Wei army takes it seriously, these people will have nowhere to hide.

Yang Hu ordered them to explain to Meng Li that these surrendered generals naturally did not dare to hide anything. They knelt on the ground and told them all about the incident of attacking the Yiren Mountain Village under Huo Yi's order and plagiarizing the Wei army.

Meng Li and the chiefs of various tribes present suddenly realized that they had been fooled and Huo Yi was deceived. Many people were indignant and began to curse Huo Yi.
