After hearing Sabir's words, everyone fell into silence again. Said asked coldly: "It's not that we gather troops to fight the enemy, it's not that we can turn into countless small groups of soldiers and horses to intersect and harass them. So what should we do? Should we escape to the other side of the Red Sea?"

Sabir responded: "I have a plan, but some people have to make some sacrifices." He stopped talking.

Said frowned and said, "Sabir Hussein, just say it right. As long as you can really defeat the Liang army, I will avoid this great disaster for the Bedouin people. I believe no one is unwilling to sacrifice."

Sabir then spoke, "Actually it's very simple. When the Liang army attacks in unison, we retreat in an orderly manner while resisting, constantly consuming the Liang army's sharpness and lengthening their supply lines. The most important thing here is not to leave them any food, but a little edible water. When they are exhausted from dragging them, we stick to the front line, smash them hard, and then launch a counterattack, completely defeating them or even annihilated them."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately laughed, and his laughter was full of sarcasm: "I said Sabir, what do you think? If you don't leave a grain of food for the enemy, we can do it. How can we do it without leaving water? Can't we block the springs on those oasis? Even if we block it, won't Liang Jun dig a well?"

Sabir continued to say unhurriedly: "Of course there is a way. We can get the corpses of livestock infected with the plague into the underground river to pollute the water source. This will allow them to not get a little drinking water. This is where some people need to sacrifice."

After he finished speaking, the tent immediately fell into death silence. Then, it burst out with opposition like a storm.

"What a bullshit idea? Not to mention whether the Liang army can repel them. These oasis lands will not be able to live in a few years or even ten years. The Liang army's water is cut off. Even if they are repelled, we will starve to death in the future."

"When you stand and speak, you don't feel bad. Of course, you don't feel bad about the land of you Yankees. I dare ask, did you use this method to pollute your water source when you escaped from the north and south? No! You can't do it yourself, why do you want us to sacrifice!"

...

After a while, the roars and opposition gradually became smaller. Said took the opportunity to make a gesture to calm down everyone's anger. Then Said said to Sabir quietly: "Your method is very good, but unfortunately we can't use it. The reason is very simple. If you do this, our Bedouin League, which has finally been united, will no longer exist."

Sabir spread his hands and said, "In this way, please forgive me for being rude. I have no other better way to retreat. See if others have no better way."

At this point, a voice sounded in the tent: "Since the Liang army plans to advance from southeast to southwest to sweep away all our Bedouin tribes. Then why don't we send out a surprise army and fight back to their Mesopotamian nest from north to south. Now their tens of millions of troops are all in Abu Dhabi to Master, and they are expected to have empty troops in their nests. As long as we break into a force and stir up trouble, they will inevitably panic and quickly transfer the front-line troops to return to reinforcements. When the hundreds of thousands of war cavalry on their front line retreats, we will attack with our heads and we will definitely win a great victory!"

When everyone saw that it was Said's eldest son, Said's youngest son.

Said frowned and replied, "Son, don't be smart. According to recent information, the Liang army now occupies almost all the oasis water sources in the middle of the desert. Moreover, each oasis is guarded by heavy troops and has built solid fortifications. The Oasis called Jieda, Liang army even invited the Aksum army opposite the sea to help guard it. Without these water sources in the middle, it would not be enough to let the camels carry the water all over. In this way, would you tell us to fly through these thousands of miles of desert?"

Little Said laughed and said, "But there is a waterway leading directly to their hinterland along the coast of the bay to the east. The port of Uchita, the Euphrates River, and then up the Euphrates River, you can enter the hinterland of Mesopotamia and directly attack Tessifon. At that time, Uncle Sabir's idea could be realized."

Said's brows frowned even more: "Did your mind be broken? Is it because you have a waterway?! Although we, the Bedouin people live on three sides by the sea, most of us are nomadic living and do not have so many ships. Even if there are, when the ship enters the bay, will we encounter the Liang army's warships that are as many as locusts and as big as mountains, can we have a way to survive?"

Xiao Said explained with a smile: "Father, the waterway I mean is not to go by boats. Instead, we walk along the coastline and we can get fresh water from the seawater. Have you forgotten that there are several springs located at the bottom of the sea along the coastline, which should be where the underground river enters the sea. In any case, these springs under the sea can provide our army with enough relays to replenish fresh water. In this way, we can go straight to Mesopotamia along the southwest coast of the bay, just bypassing two or three oasis occupied by the Liang army and not discovering them."

After hearing this, everyone was silent and thought about it. After a while, some people agreed one after another, and Sabir also exclaimed: "It's indeed a good idea."

Said couldn't help but feel proud and said with a compliment: "Good boy, when did your mind become so smart?"

Then he ordered: "Transfer our order. The entire army was 170,000 troops and 50,000 elite troops, led by Chief Sabir, marched west and north along the coastline of the bay, and entered the hinterland of Mesopotamia. The remaining troops adopted layers of defense and gradually retreating strategies to delay the attack of the Liang army and consume their spirits. When their rear changes and retreats in a panic, we will launch a fierce counterattack and annihilate them with drums!"

Soon, the Bedouin coalition found those who knew the water source under the sea among some tribes near the sea. Then Sabir selected 50,000 elite troops, and quietly walked into the desert with enough freshwater dry food and these guides.

They first crossed a short section of the desert and arrived at the coast dozens of miles west of Abu Dhabi to bypass the landed Liang Jun's eyes and ears, and then walked along the coast to the northwest. The road was full of yellow sand, and they could only rely on the freshwater springs hidden under the sea to replenish them. The seabed water collection is naturally much more troublesome than the land acquisition, which also affected their speed of march.
