This is the second time Su Yan has seen this big river, the first time was when he was fighting the Blood Tiger Tribe, Su Yan took the time to go to the big river to take a look, and the second time was when he went out to fight the Niu tribe now.

The feeling of the two times is very different, the first time I just looked at the river, but now I am sailing on the river by boat, only one and a half zhang wide A boat sails on the river more than 200 zhang wide, and everyone on the boat can feel the width of the river.

"We should give this big river a name, and we should use the Yellow River."

Su Yan simply named the river, but almost everyone who has seen the Yellow River will wonder why the king named the river "Yellow River", and this river is not yellow.

Yes, the Yellow River is not yellow, on the contrary, the water is very clear, and you can clearly see the fish swimming in the river on the shore or on the boat.

named "Yellow River", Su Yan is just nostalgic for his previous life.

……

In the battle with the pig tribe the year before last, the cattle tribe obtained more than 260 adult women and girls close to adulthood at a relatively small price, and also obtained some advanced technologies than the cattle tribe itself, such as hemp planting technology, hemp rope weaving fishing nets, and twine weaving linen.

Because of the collapse of the pig tribe, the women of the pig tribe have almost accepted their fate, and they are slowly integrating into the cattle tribe, and the advanced technology obtained by the cattle tribe is all taken out by them.

After all, the Blood Tiger Tribe was defeated by the Ox Tribe rather than destroyed, and the Blood Tiger Tribe still exists, and they still have illusions in their hearts, hoping that the leader can lead the clan to defeat the Niu Tribe and bring them home.

It's just that three years have passed, and most of the women have given birth to children under the compulsion of the men of the Niu tribe, with the children of both sides as a bond, they don't know how long they can last, and even some people have given up the psychology of going home and slowly integrated into the Niu tribe.

In their minds, they have always been dominated by men, and they are only subordinate to men.

The women who were snatched back by the Niu tribe are almost like this, and over time, the resistance in their hearts will be slowly worn away, and they can only integrate into the Niu tribe, and finally they all think that they are part of the Niu tribe, and they have nothing to do with the previous tribe.

In the past two years, the Niu tribe has become more and more powerful, and the losses suffered from the war with the Blood Tiger Tribe and the Pig Tribe have been completely recovered in the past two years, and even their strength has been further improved.

At present, there are as many as 370 adult males, 1,300 adult females, and nearly 2,000 juveniles, and the total population of the Niu-tribe is more than 3,700, while before the battle with the Blood Tiger Tribe three years ago, the total population of the Niu-tribe was less than 2,500.

In just three years, the total population of the cattle tribe has increased by more than 1,200 people, and the main increase in the population is women and children, the two are almost halved, of which four-fifths of the increased women are from war plunder, to fight to feed war, the way of development of the cattle tribe.

Of course, not all tribes can continue to grow and develop like the cattle tribe.

A few tribes can launch a large-scale conquest in a few years or more than ten years like the Blood Tiger Tribe, even if the tribe's losses are a bit large, after more than ten years, the tribe's strength will be restored, and it can be improved to a certain extent, and the cycle continues.

It took hundreds of years for the Blood Tiger Tribe to develop from a tribe of a few hundred people to more than a thousand, if it hadn't encountered the Ox Tribe, the Blood Tiger Tribe would have been able to continue the cycle like this, and if it took another hundred years, it might have the strength of the Ox Tribe now.

Many more tribes have been battered by the war itself, and it will take decades for them to recover, and some of these tribes will survive while others may be wiped out by others.

The Blood Tiger Tribe had an advantage, a physical advantage, but the Blood Tiger Tribe met a bull tribe with a greater advantage, so the Blood Tiger Tribe failed.

The cattle tribe has an advantage, although the cattle cavalry and the horse cavalry are not comparable, but in this era when almost all infantry battles, a cattle cavalry can be called the protagonist of the battlefield, the cattle cavalry makes the cattle tribe invincible, and the cattle plough the fields and fish so that the cattle tribe has sufficient food.

Su Yan can think of using cattle to plow the fields, and the cattle tribe also thinks of it, but the cattle tribe does not have many domesticated cattle, if there are enough domesticated cattle, not only can they cultivate more fields, but also form a team of cattle cavalry with more people, and the development speed of the cattle tribe will be faster.

The vast majority of other tribes do not have the advantages of the Ox Tribe, they can only develop like the Blood Tiger Tribe or rely on their own development, and it takes several times or even ten times more time than the Ox Tribe to have the strength of the Ox Tribe.

Last year, the Niu tribe did not go to war, mainly because they did not find a suitable target, and when the autumn was about to end, the Niu tribe found a target tribe located in the Niu tribe more than five days away, a tribe with a population of nearly 1,000 people, and the strength of the Niu tribe could spend a small price to conquer this tribe, and this goal was put this year by the Niu tribe.

Spring ploughing has ended, the cattle tribe is preparing to conquer this tribe, if you want to conquer a tribe that is more than five days away, the cattle tribe needs to do a lot of preparations, the most important thing is food, you need to prepare about ten days of food, mainly pickled fish, and some soybeans.

Interestingly, the main crops grown by the Niu tribe are the same as those of the Blood Tiger Tribe, which are soybeans, and last year another kind was added, and fishing nets woven with hemp, linen and hemp rope have appeared in the Niu tribe.

The technique of weaving fishing nets with straw rope has developed to a certain extent in the cattle tribe, but the nets woven by the twine-woven fishing nets brought from the pig tribe are better than those woven with straw ropes, and more fish can be caught at one time.

Two days later it was time to go on the expedition, and the entire Niu tribe was busy, the food for ten days was almost ready, and there were weapons to be re-checked, and if there was a problem with the weapons, it would be troublesome.

Hundreds of adult women stand on the east bank of the river next to the Niu tribe's residence, which is 30 feet wide, throwing their nets into the river, pulling them towards the river, or removing the fish from the nets.

"What's that?"

"They're here again!"

With two voices, their eyes were fixed on the wooden boat that was slowly sailing from the north.

Some of the women had seen the boat for the second time, and last autumn they had seen it for the first time, something strange, and there were people on it.

The people of the Ox tribe did not regard the wooden boat as a monster, the Blood Tiger tribe could make a wooden raft to cross the river, and now the Ox tribe will also use this technology.
