More than a thousand people were somewhat beyond Xia Hongsheng's expectations. He thought that Beluth was just bringing some guards, but he didn't expect that there were still a thousand elite soldiers.

It seemed that Xia Hongsheng was a little surprised. Beilus said: "There are several other ships parked outside the bay. If necessary, it will take only one or two days to come. But I don't know what Brother Xia is going to do?"

Xia Hongsheng replied: "The Tang Dynasty crossed the oceans and the seas, and there were no many people. There were also many people who built a city in Sanlan Kingdom, so there were not many people here at present. The Great Cannibals on the opposite side had tens of thousands of people. Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were brave and had the advantage of military preparation, the number of people was too great. Otherwise, I would have taken advantage of the victory and fought, and I would not have been stalemate between the Daqiu and the Daqiu. The Great Cannibals gathered tens of thousands of troops in Turbai, but now my Tang Dynasty only has thousands of soldiers, and I can only use tricks and cannot fight hard. I just offered a strange strategy, but unfortunately it was impossible to do it. I clinked my country and helped me, so I taught Your Highness to appear."

"Oh?" Beilus was in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and Xia Hongsheng took him to make friends with playboys, so everyone naturally recognized him. After hearing Cheng Chumo's suggestion, he said curiously: "But what good strategy is it?"

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Since the current situation is not good for our army, we will naturally use some means to reverse the situation. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. The Great Cannibal gathers so much, and the food and grass consumed every day is a huge amount. If there is any loss of food and grass, the Great Food Army will be in chaos. If you want to move your hands and feet on the Great Cannibal's food, you must sneak in secret. However, the Tang people and the Great Cannibal have different faces, and there is a huge difference. It is almost impossible to get involved in the Great Cannibal's army. By chance, Your Highness brought people. If the elite soldiers in Your Highness's hands have the same face as the Great Cannibal, it would be much easier to get involved in the Great Cannibal's army."

"It is a good idea to cut off the food and grass of the big cannibals. However, the food and grass of tens of thousands of troops will be piled up into mountains. The garrison must be very strict. It is probably not easy to burn food and grass." said Beluth.

"Gasoline is extremely flammable and it is not easy to extinguish after burning. With enough gasoline, it can burn its food and grass." Xia Hongsheng said: "At that time, I will pretend to land forcibly and attract the attention of the Great Cannibal. Then the Persian warriors who mixed into the Great Cannibal Army can secretly burn the food and grass, and then get out of the chaos army."

"Pretending to attack?!" Beilus was shocked and said, "If hundreds of thousands of people on the other side of Dashi, if they forcibly land, wouldn't they be intercepted and killed by so many enemy troops in Dashi? The number of people in the Tang army is insufficient, and even if it is a feint attack, it cannot consume this number."

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "After Your Highness left Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty made new progress in the military orders. Haha, in fact, there are no big cannibals on the other side of the shore within 70 miles of the sea."

"Oh?!" Beilus was shocked and curious, and asked, "What weapon is it that can make the great cannibal hide from 70 miles away and dare not get close to it?"

"Your Highness has used mortars and thunder!" Xia Hongsheng asked.

Bellus nodded.

"The artillery and mines newly made in the Tang Dynasty, this artillery is equivalent to a large mortar. It can shoot ten miles and is much more powerful than a mortar. Not to mention the other side, just take the cement-built city wall as an example. After a few cannons, they all turned into ruins." Xia Hongsheng fooled: "There are also those landmines, like some thunderstorms, which are much more powerful, and mainly can be buried underground in advance. Once the enemy steps on, it will explode on the spot!"

"Oh?!" Beilus opened his eyes and his eyes were burning. No one could tell his thoughts without saying anything.

"Oh, but there are some shortcomings." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "Although the cannon is powerful, it is too costly and has a short lifespan, so it is easy to explode. Although landmines are of great use, people must hide beside them and wait until the enemy step on them and pull up the ropes with force before they can ignite them."

When Li Yexu and others looked at each other, they knew that Xia Hongsheng was going to cheat again.

Because after years of improvement and development, the artillery of the Tang Dynasty has become more mature, and the assembly line has also increased a lot, the cost is much lower, and it is no longer easy to explode. Landmines no longer need to hide beside them to pull the wire, but use thin steel wires, people or horses to trip the thin wires, causing the mines to ignite and detonate.

"If you don't say much, you will definitely attract all the attention of the cannibals here by then. The Persian warriors can mix in and pour gasoline on the food and grass to ignite it. I wonder what your highness is thinking?" Xia Hongsheng said halfway, and suddenly changed his tone and asked.

Beilus slapped the table and said, "Okay! Since that's the case, Xiao Wang should show sincerity of cooperation. Then he wrote a letter and asked them to come over and obey Brother Xia's order!"

After saying that, Beilus immediately asked Xia Hongsheng for paper and pen, and wrote down a few strokes, and handed them over to his own side.

Xia Hongsheng said: "Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty's ship is fast, let him go on the Tang Dynasty's ship!"

"Okay." Beilus had seen the armored ship, but he didn't know that Xia Hongsheng was talking about the steam engine ship.

Xia Hongsheng sent someone to take Beilus's personal follower and explained: "When you come back, try to take a detour to us, and don't let the big cannibals see the Persian warship."

Here, whether it is a steam engine or a cannon, it is impossible to hide it. It is better not to hide it.

When someone left, Xia Hongsheng said again: "Your Highness has been running around for a day, and I think it's already exhausted. I'll hold a banquet to entertain Your Highness. After using it, I'd better take a break earlier. But there are only military rations in the army, so I'm afraid it won't be rich, so I can only be simpler."

"It's okay, Xiao Wang often lives in the army." Beilus said: "It's a blessing for Brother Xia."

Xia Hongsheng turned his head and said to Qi Yong: "Qi Yong, go and bring some of today's meals, get a few empty bowls, and then bring some other things that the soldiers usually eat."

"Yes!" Qi Yong could naturally understand what Xia Hongsheng meant and ran out immediately.

Soon, several soldiers brought some food in and set up the table. Later, Qi Yong also used his front bag to pack a bunch of things, and after coming in, he placed a table."

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, and take it back to Chang'an today and come to eat something with Your Highness." Xia Hongsheng greeted Li Yexu and others.

Everyone sat down at this time. Li Yexu took out the dagger and opened the cans in the middle of the table. Xia Hongsheng also scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder into the empty bowl in front of Beilus, poured boiling water and flushed it away, and put some meat floss next to the bowl.

Beilus looked at the table and things arranged by everyone in a daze. Except for the food he brought, he didn't recognize anything else. The things in the iron box were also very pleasant to smell and seemed to be delicious. The bowl in front of him was full of milk, and the plate of pine-like things next to him exuded the aroma of meat.

Is this easier?

"Haha, these are all military rations used by ordinary soldiers. It's a little simpler. Your Highness will just use it!" Xia Hongsheng saw all the surprise of Beilus, and then said without hesitation, just laughing.
