Chapter 138 Dao Liu openly opposes Su Mo's battle plan.
Chapter 138 Su Mo's battle plan was openly opposed by Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong smiled and helped Su Mo up, saying earnestly:
"Grand Preceptor Su, you flatter me. You've done so much for the Spirit Empire, how could I possibly blame you?"
Hearing the title "Bibi Dong," Su Mo was taken aback.
The guard just now called himself the Imperial Advisor, and now even Bibi Dong calls herself the Imperial Advisor.
But I've never been granted any title.
Seeing the confusion on Su Mo's face, Bibi Dong said with a smile:
"I wanted to appoint you as the Imperial Advisor a year ago, but unfortunately I couldn't find you, so I haven't been able to bestow this honor upon you."
After speaking, Bibi Dong's expression turned serious, and she addressed the crowd in the hall in a loud voice:
"From this day forward, Su Mo will be the Grand Preceptor of my Martial Soul Empire, and you are no longer required to pay homage."
The crowd below was convinced, and no one jumped out to object.
Su Mo can now be considered the number one person in the Martial Soul Empire. Unless he wants to become the emperor, no one will care about any other rewards he receives.
"Grand Preceptor Su, I plan to launch a major surprise attack to break through Jialing Pass. In that case, nothing will be able to stop the army from entering the Heavenly Dou Empire."
"What is the Imperial Preceptor's opinion?"
Bibi Dong sat back on her throne, looking at Su Mo with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo fell into deep thought.
The long mountain range separates the Martial Soul Empire from the Heaven Dou Empire. The only way to fully engage in the battle against the Heaven Dou Empire is to break through the Jialing Pass.
However, it is too close to Tiandou City, and the millions of troops there are an insurmountable barrier.
In the original story, Bibi Dong led 20,000 Soul Masters and 300,000 troops to personally attack, but even so, she failed to penetrate the Heaven Dou Empire.
I wonder if Tang San still has the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, that thing can instantly reduce the number of high-level soul masters in the Spirit Empire by half.
Su Mo pondered for a long time before slowly replying:
"Jialing Pass is very close to Tiandou City, but very far from Wuhun City."
"This also means that the Heavenly Dou Empire can quickly replenish its troops and supplies, while we can only use a large army to invade, and our supplies may not be sufficient."
"If we want to attack, I think the key is to cut off the Heaven Dou Empire's supply lines to prevent them from waging a protracted war."
"If we want to win, we must use a blitzkrieg. Only in this way can we cover up our disadvantages and be evenly matched with the Heavenly Dou Empire."
"I am willing to be the first to reach the summit and claim the credit for being the first to scale the peak."
As she listened to Su Mo's story, Bibi Dong's smile grew wider and wider.
She hadn't expected that Su Mo was not only powerful in his own right, but also a master of military strategy.
What Su Mo said and thought was exactly the same as her thoughts.
Moreover, he volunteered to be the vanguard himself.
Compared to those guys in the Hall of Offerings, Su Mo is the true loyal subject of her Martial Soul Empire.
"Very well, Grand Preceptor Su is right, we will do as you say!"
Bibi Dong looked at Su Mo with satisfaction and agreed to his plan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am ready to depart at any time."
Seeing Bibi Dong's approval, Su Mo finally felt relieved.
In this way, the Heavenly Dou Empire is doomed to defeat.
But then he suddenly remembered Dai Mubai, and asked again:
"Has the Star Luo Empire made any unusual moves recently?"
Upon hearing Su Mo's question, a strange glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
The Star Luo Empire has not made any offense so far, but has simply watched the war between the two countries in silence.
But this is too strange. Although the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are not on good terms, they should understand the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" and "befriend distant states while attacking nearby ones".
If the Spirit Empire successfully annexes the Heavenly Dou Empire, its next target will definitely be the Star Luo Empire.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong looked at Su Mo with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
She suspected that Su Mo had reached some kind of agreement with Emperor Dai Mubai of the Star Luo Dynasty, which allowed him to stay obediently at home and not make any moves.
Su Mo noticed the suspicion in Bibi Dong's eyes and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Has the Star Luo Alliance already gone to war? Bibi Dong suspects she's involved.
But the next second, Bibi Dong's words dispelled his concerns.
"The Star Luo Empire has been observing the battle without showing any intention of aiding the Heaven Dou Empire; it has only been strengthening its border defenses."
"That's good."
Su Mo smiled.
It seems that his intimidation had worked; Dai Mubai still values his life.
In that case, he can attack Tiandou with peace of mind, without worrying about being attacked from both sides.
"In that case, I would like to request Your Majesty to send troops immediately and strive to conquer the Heavenly Dou Empire within a year."
Su Mo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and spoke in a pleading tone.
"Grand Preceptor Su, this matter should be carefully considered before acting rashly."
Just then, Qian Daoliu actually spoke up to offer advice.
Su Mo looked in the direction of the sound and stared at Qian Daoliu in disbelief.
So all I did was deliver his message for nothing, and he actually dared to openly oppose me?
As Qian Daoliu spoke, the other six elders spoke at the same time.
"Grand Preceptor Su, you are still young. War is not child's play. You can't afford to lose everything at once."
"That's right, even though you, Grand Preceptor, are powerful, you can't stop a million-strong army!"
"We should listen to the High Priest; we must not act rashly."
Su Mo's eyes were icy cold, and he had an urge to kill them all.
No wonder they haven't destroyed Tian Dou after all this time; they're still fighting amongst themselves.
"If you all disagree with my point of view, I can break through Jialing Pass all by myself!"
"one person?"
Bibi Dong's lips trembled slightly, wondering if Su Mo was still half asleep.
Unless a deity descends to earth, it is impossible for anyone to breach the Jialing Pass alone.
Qian Daoliu assumed Su Mo was just saying it out of anger, and quickly tried to comfort him:
"Since the start of the war, we have recovered the kingdoms of Häagen-Dazs and Silvis."
"It's only a matter of time before Tian Dou is swallowed up; Grand Preceptor Su need not be in a hurry."
Seeing Qian Daoliu's nonchalant expression, Su Mo was so angry that he wanted to kill him.
If it weren't for the mission from the Divine Examination, he would never have helped the Spirit Empire.
Now, things have turned out differently; I've become a proponent of war.
"Great Venerable One, have you forgotten where I've been all this time?"
Seeing that Qian Daoliu was unwilling to divulge the information, Su Mo had no choice but to bring up the matter of Seagod Island.
Qian Daoliu's expression suddenly changed, and he rebuked:
"Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters."
"The empire has just been established and needs to proceed with caution to ensure its longevity."
Su Mo frowned, unable to find a rebuttal for a moment.
In fact, he could have simply killed the emperor of Tiandou, just like last time.
But that wouldn't completely destroy Tian Dou, unless he killed all of Tian Dou's people.
Only by allowing the Spirit Empire to completely swallow up the Heavenly Dou Empire, and eliminating the Heavenly Dou Empire from the world, can the Heavenly Dou Empire be completely destroyed.
"The Star Luo Empire is eyeing us covetously. We should quickly swallow up the Heaven Dou Empire, as this will benefit the empire's development."
Su Mo retorted.
"You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time."
Qian Daoliu said calmly.
Looking at Qian Daoliu's indifferent face, Su Mo felt helpless.
Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to lay his cards on the table.
