Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 255 Gonggong’s conspiracy

Soon after Shaohao left, Gonggong began to gather troops to prepare for a crusade against Zhuanxu.

Gonggong felt that if Shaohao didn't leave, he would have to face an opponent who was about to become a saint, which would be too difficult.

Therefore, Gonggong had been patient. After the news of Shaohao's enlightenment and sanctification came out, Gonggong immediately gathered the tribes and troops he had already contacted and fought all the way towards Zhuanxu's capital city.

Gonggong's early attack went very smoothly despite his mental arithmetic.

Several tribes under Zhuanxu were easily defeated by Gonggong.

Gonggong didn't even have to take action himself. Several of his generals took down the tribes that dared to confront him.

This greatly boosted Gonggong's arrogance. He felt that Zhuanxu was only superficial and had no ability in his career. He could easily defeat this kind of opponent.

Therefore, Gonggong led the army and galloped all the way towards Zhuanxu's capital city and launched another fierce attack.

It was only then that Zhuanxu realized that he had fallen into Gonggong's scheme.

Gonggong came here last time and disappeared after announcing that he wanted to fight for the co-leader of the human race.

Then, after Shaohao ascended, he came out to cause trouble again.

During this period of time, Gonggong was probably not idle either. He must have been accumulating strength and preparing troops.

Otherwise, the tribes that failed could not have been defeated so quickly.

He must have met an opponent who has been planning for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhuan Xu couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

Shouldn't things like war be done openly and honestly (in that era, war was indeed like this, and this custom continued into the Spring and Autumn Period.)?

Sneaky (this way of fighting will be looked down upon by others, and the impact will be discussed later.), what kind of hero is he?

However, now that Gonggong has come to the door, Zhuanxu can only continue to challenge.

I have to say that Zhuanxu is worthy of being the emperor's grandson. He is very talented and somewhat similar to his grandfather.

After receiving the news that Gonggong had raised troops and began to attack him, Zhuanxu responded quickly.

"Come here, light the smoke from the seventy-two beacon towers for me, and summon all the princes to come for support."

Zhuanxu immediately ordered his men to light the beacon tower with smoke.

This beacon tower was a means for Zhuanxu to negotiate with various princes to pass news to each other when he first succeeded as the human princess.

In this beacon tower, what is lit is dried wolf dung.

After the wolf excrement is dried, as long as it is lit, it will emit black smoke, which is long and straight and can be seen from a long distance.

Zhuanxu made an agreement with the chiefs of other tribes that if there was any problem in the capital area, they would immediately light the beacon tower and call for support from all over the country.

Although this method of conveying messages through burning wolf excrement conveys limited information, it is better at spreading quickly and in a wide range.

Anyone who saw the smoke immediately knew that the capital city was under attack and needed to lead troops to rescue.

This method was still used many years later.

Of course, if there is a wise man in later generations who uses this beacon to make his concubine smile, that is a story for another day.

"Princess, this time, who will be in charge of the expedition against the Gonggong tribe?"

A minister asked curiously.

Because he had never heard that Zhuan Xu could fight before, he was a little uneasy.

"Of course I'll do it."

"I have learned about fighting before, and now I just want to try it out to see if it works."

Zhuanxu said, leading the men and horses he had gathered temporarily, and galloped away in the direction of Gonggong.

"Everyone, Gonggong came to attack us just because I am young and have just succeeded." "This is our advantage. When the time comes, do as I say."

On the way, Zhuanxu did not forget to announce the tactics to his soldiers and officers.

The sergeants and officers were a little confused.

Why, you are young and have just succeeded, how can you become an advantage?

Isn't this a shortcoming?

Seeing that everyone was confused, Zhuanxu smiled and explained.

"Gonggong thought that I was young, inexperienced, and couldn't fight."

"In this way, he will definitely despise me and make some omissions when dispatching troops."

"We just took this opportunity to catch him off guard, causing him to fail twice and losing a large part of his troops."

"By the time he realizes that I am very powerful, it will be too late. He will never get back that part of his force."

After everyone heard Zhuan Xu's plan, they couldn't help but secretly admire him.

He is worthy of being the emperor's grandson and Shaohao's nephew.

Why is my brain so useful, and I can think of such a method?

"Okay, everyone, please understand my plan."

"Then, spread the news and tell the generals that they are angry at Zhuan Xu for being young and arrogant and unwilling to cooperate with him."

"Also, let's talk about Zhuanxu. He was so happy that he left the capital with a few old, weak, sick and disabled people."

Zhuanxu spoke one by one, asking his subordinates to spread the news that he was incompetent.

He didn't expect that he could completely deceive Gonggong.

Gonggong was a very cunning man, and Zhuanxu knew it.

So Zhuanxu thought about how he could be deceived.

In Gonggong’s military camp.

Gonggong Zhengzhi stood in front of the army with great satisfaction, looking at another tribe that he had defeated.

This is already the sixth time, and it has only been more than ten days since he started his army.

Zhuan Xu's troops had no combat effectiveness at all, and he casually defeated these troops.

At this rate, by this time next month, Gonggong will be able to reach Zhuanxu's capital.

At that time, wouldn't I have everything I want, such as the position of co-leader of the human race and the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become a saint?

"Gonggong, is our attack too smooth?"

"It's only been a few days, and I've reached this position. Something's not right!"

Gonggong looked at the person with dissatisfaction and recognized that the person was called Aibi, and he could be regarded as one of his generals.

"Aibi, how can you enhance the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"The progress of the battle is faster than expected. Doesn't it mean that we are strong?"

"The human race used to be strong because of the emperor and Shaohao. Now the master of the human race is Zhuan Xu, who doesn't do his job every day. It's hard for us to lose even if we want to."

Gonggong looked confident. He didn't take Zhuanxu seriously at all now, thinking that Zhuanxu was just relying on the shadow of his ancestors. When he gets the position of co-leader of the human race in the future, he will definitely kill Zhuanxu to avoid future troubles.

If Zhuan Xu knew that he thought so, he would probably be happy.
