Time goes back to the day when the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom had just set off for the White Horse Tribe.

The White Horse Tribe, with a population of more than 1,500, was easily wiped out by the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom, and the people of the White Horse tribe died and were captured, and only forty-four people remained.

Seeing the captured people of their clan being taken away by the enemy, the forty-four of them looked from afar at the huge procession that was constantly advancing forward, and bid farewell to their fellow clansmen.

With the strength of their forty-four people, they couldn't rescue their fellow clansmen at all, and they were only sent to death in vain, so they could only watch from afar, and they couldn't do anything.

"I want to go over, my two children are there." A woman said.

"No, you can't go over." A man close to the woman dissuaded that the woman's husband had died under the arrows of the Xia cavalry.

"Don't stop me, I'm a woman, I won't die in the past, you find a good tribe to join." As she spoke, the woman rode her horse and chased after the huge procession in the distance.

"You ......"

The man had no time to stop him, so he could only let him go, they were still of the same race, and he couldn't be ruthless enough to shoot the woman.

One woman left, and then four more women in the team hesitated and left, and all five women were in the same situation, the husband was killed in battle, and the children were captured by the enemy, and they were not worried about their children, and they were women who would not be killed by the enemy in most cases, so they caught up with the enemy and surrendered to the enemy.

The remnants of the White Horse tribe have children who have been captured, and the men have no idea of surrendering to the enemy, everyone knows that in the war on the grassland, the captured men are very likely to be killed, and the captured women will be left by the enemy to have children in most cases, so the men cannot surrender, the children are gone, and it is good to have children in the future.

The few women who remained in the team were also killed by their husbands, and they chose to give up their children, and the other women were all women whose husbands were also in the team, and if the children were captured, they would give up the children and have children later.

Now there are only thirty-nine people left, and the most important thing is to find a tribe to join, with the strength of their thirty-nine people, it is difficult to survive on the grassland.

Bidding farewell to the captive tribesmen, the thirty-nine men drove more than 500 cattle, horses and sheep, and chose a direction where there might be a nomadic tribe, because to drive these cattle, horses and sheep, the speed of the procession was relatively slow.

If they gave up the cattle, horses and sheep, they could move faster, but they did not give up these cattle, horses and sheep, they knew that the grassland was very vast, and no one could be sure that they would find other tribes soon, and they could not find other tribes in a short time, so food was an important thing.

Thirty-nine people traveled for nearly three days, and finally found a few figures in the distance.

"It's the people of other tribes grazing, and we're heading over there." Ken said, Ken is the leader of the other thirty-eight people, a strong warrior.

Finding the figure of other tribesmen, they still did not give up the cattle, horses and sheep around them, if they rode over like that, the other party would definitely regard their group as enemies, and then choose to run away and drive the cattle, horses and sheep over, which can reduce the vigilance of the other party a little.

The actual situation proved that this was correct, and the five people who were grazing in the Withered Grass Tribe also found the figure of the thirty-nine people of the White Horse Tribe, the distance between the two sides was relatively far, and the thirty-nine people of the White Horse Tribe were driving a large herd of cattle, horses and sheep, and the five people of the Withered Grass Tribe did not choose to leave at the first time, and stayed in place to observe the situation.

The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and then the thirty-nine people of the White Horse tribe stopped, and the four men were selected, and the five of them approached the five people of the withered grass tribe together, and the five people of the withered grass tribe raised their bows and arrows vigilantly, and if there was a problem, they would shoot the arrows in their hands as soon as possible.

More than ten zhang apart, Jian raised his hands high, and the other four people around him also made similar movements, indicating that they didn't want to fight.

After understanding what the other party meant, the five members of the Withered Grass Tribe discussed it, and then put down the bow and arrow in their hands, indicating that they would not attack.

The two sides continued to approach, and finally looked at each other from a distance of a foot.

"Hello, we are from another tribe, our tribe was defeated by a powerful tribe, only us are left, we want to find a new tribe to join."

The leader of the five members of the Withered Grass Tribe gestured in understanding.

"How many people are in your tribe?" Ken asked.

"Two thousand five hundred." The leader of the withered grass tribe used the number of cattle, horses and sheep grazing by his five people, and compared the number of people in his tribe several times to show the number of people in his tribe.

"Is your tribe short of food?" Ken asked again.

"There is no shortage."

After asking two questions, Jian pondered for a moment and thought to himself: "The population is larger than our tribe, and there is no shortage of food, so you can consider joining this tribe, for fear that there will be accidents after joining their tribe." ”

At this time, the leader of the withered grass tribe said with a smile and a gesture: "Our tribe welcomes you to join, and you join our tribe as our kindred and friendly." ”

After that, the team leader pointed to one of his team and gestured again, "He, and his companions, joined our tribe last year, and now he and his companions are all of our kindred, and we are good brothers." ”

The squad leader pointed at the man and hurriedly gestured: "Yes, yes, my former tribe was defeated by a powerful tribe, only me and a dozen companions escaped, we joined the current tribe, they treated us very well." ”

After a moment's hesitation, Ken said, "I want to go to your tribe to meet the leader of your tribe. ”

"Okay, you, or the five of you, or all of you?" The team leader asked.

"I'll do it myself." Ken said that even if this move is a bit dangerous, for the sake of his own future and that of his fellow clans, he can only do it himself.

"Wait here, I'll go with him to meet the leader of their tribe, and if I don't come back, you can flee quickly." Jian turned his head and said to the four people around him

"Got it, you should be careful."

The team leader and Jian, the two of them rode quickly towards the residence of the Withered Grass Tribe...... Entering the Withergrass Tribe's residence, Ken looked at the situation in the residence as he walked forward, Ken needed to know as much as possible about the situation of this tribe, which had a great impact on Ken's final choice.

"Where's the chief?" The team leader casually pulled a fellow clan and asked, the clan pointed to the round tent where the leader lived, and then the team leader and Ken walked towards the round tent where the leader lived.

Walking outside the round tent where the leader lived, the team leader shouted into the round tent: "Chief! ”

After more than a dozen breaths, the leader walked out of the round tent, he first looked at Jian for a few moments, and then asked the team leader, "What's the matter?" ”

"Chief, his tribe was defeated by a powerful tribe, he and dozens of his kindreds escaped, and now he is looking for other tribes to join, he wants to meet you."

"Got it." The leader looked at Ken again, and then gestured, "I'm the leader of this tribe, you want to see me?" ”

"Honorable Chief, my kindred and I have joined your tribe, will you treat us the same way you would treat your people?" Ken asked.

"Yes, I will treat you and your people as I would my people." The leader affirmed.

As the leader of the tribe, he naturally disdains to tell lies, anyway, Jian thinks so.

Jian gritted his teeth and made the final decision: "Honorable leader, my people and I are willing to join your tribe and become your people. ”

"Okay, welcome to my tribe." The leader gently slapped Jian's chest a few times with his hand, showing friendship.

In order to show his appreciation for Ken and his kindred, the leader personally took a dozen clansmen to greet Ken's kindred.

The Withered Grass Tribe has a population of 2,500 people, and there are more than 1,000 adult people, and now there are 39 adults joining, which is very important to the Withered Grass Tribe.

Driving the cattle, horses and sheep, everyone returned to the residence of the Withered Grass tribe, and while chatting on the way, the leader of the Withered Grass received a message that made him frown.

Last year, more than a dozen clansmen of the Wind Tribe joined the Dry Grass Tribe, and the leader of the Dry Grass carefully learned about the situation and learned that it was a suspected farming tribe that defeated the Wind Tribe, but that farming tribe had cavalry, and the bows and arrows they were equipped with had a very long range, and the black clothes on their bodies could also resist the arrows of the Wind Tribe, defeating the Wind Tribe at a very small cost.

The leader of the withered grass calculated the strength of his tribe and the wind tribe at its strongest and came to a conclusion: the withered grass tribe is not the opponent of the wind tribe, and that enemy can easily defeat the wind tribe, and the withergrass tribe can also easily defeat the withered grass tribe.

It was a terrible enemy, fortunately the Withered Grass Tribe did not encounter this enemy, but today the Withered Grass Leader got the news that he suspected that he was a powerful enemy, the same black clothes that could resist arrows, and the same long-range bow and arrow, and finally wiped out the White Horse Tribe at a very small cost, these circumstances can almost show that the Wind Tribe and the White Horse Tribe encountered the same enemy.

The enemy, strong enough to easily defeat the Withergrass Tribe, has reappeared, and the Withergrass Tribe is in danger.

Thinking about it for one night, the leader of the withered grass had the idea of moving in his heart, and the next day he convened all the high-level leaders to discuss, the leader of the withered grass temporarily put aside the idea of moving, it is autumn now, the withered grass tribe is preparing for the winter, can not move, if you want to move, you can only wait until next spring to move to the distance.

In the days leading up to winter, the Withered Grass Leader is destined to spend his time worrying that the mighty enemy will find the Withered Grass Tribe.

"That mighty tribe has already destroyed a tribe, and it will definitely not attack again this year." The leader of the withered grass comforted himself.

The withered grass tribe, which has never encountered the Xia country, has been talking about the Xia country, which is similar to the withered grass tribe, and the fishing tribe and the Sun tribe are also talking about the Xia country.

is about to enter winter, Xia Guo's fleet has not appeared, is something wrong with Xia Guo?

Now there are two thoughts in the minds of the high-level leaders of the fishing tribe and the high-level of the Japanese tribe that are constantly fighting: I hope that something will happen in the Xia Kingdom, just because of some trivial matter, we can't send a fleet to trade, and the trade can be resumed in the next year, and our tribe can get all kinds of things from the Xia Kingdom; I hope that something will happen to the Xia Kingdom, it is better to make a big event, so that the Xia Kingdom will be hit hard, and even destroyed, the powerful Xia Kingdom is too threatening to our tribe.

The two thoughts are constantly fighting in their minds, but both tribes are biased towards something wrong in the Xia Kingdom, and something big happens, especially the fishing tribe that can smelt copper, and they hope that something will happen to the Xia Kingdom, and the Japanese tribe cannot smelt copper, and they also need to obtain copper weapons from the Xia Kingdom.

"Hopefully, I hope that the fleet of the Xia Kingdom will not appear next year, and it will not appear in the future, and it will never appear, and the Xia Kingdom will be destroyed."

This is a curse from the Fishing Tribe and the Sun Tribe.

The weak are afraid of the strong, and the weak should stay away from the strong, because the weak are afraid that day they will be attacked by the strong.

The Fishing Tribe and the Ri Tribe thought that the shipping restrictions would keep the Xia Kingdom from attacking them, but they didn't know that the tribes on both sides of the Yellow River from Yancheng to the Fishing Tribe were either moved or destroyed by the Xia Kingdom, and the Fishing Tribe and the Ri Tribe were about to become the next target of the Xia Kingdom.

……

In the eleventh year of the summer calendar, it is another year of harvest for the Xia country, with a bumper harvest of grain, a bumper harvest of population, a bumper harvest of cattle, horses and sheep, and next year, the Xia country will develop and grow at a faster speed.

"Wrong, wrong, you see, it should be like this, left, right, tick, pick, repeat."

"Oh, I see, I will."

Outside the house, the snow was falling, and inside the house, several women sat in front of the stove, each holding bamboo needles and woolen thread in their hands, and by the light of the fire in the stove, everyone knitted woolen sweaters and woolen pants together.

Such a scene happened in all the cities of the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan handed over the skills of knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants to the women in the palace, and the women in the palace taught the skills to the wives, daughters, and daughters-in-law of the high-ranking people of the Xia Kingdom, and then the skills of knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants spread throughout the Xia Kingdom.

Before the winter, everyone has all kinds of work to do, and there is no time to learn the skills of knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants, after the arrival of winter, there are not too many people who will know this skill, but every city in the summer country has a part of the people, after the arrival of winter, the skills spread rapidly.

Woolen sweaters and woolen pants appeared for the first time in the Xia Kingdom, only with Wang's words, "wearing woolen sweaters and wool pants is more comfortable and warmer", the women fully believed Wang's words, began to learn skills, to try knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants.

Of course, Su Yan's words are not wrong, when the women knit out the woolen sweaters and wool pants, they can know whether the woolen sweaters and wool pants are good or not, Su Yan now knows clearly, because Su Yan is wearing woolen sweaters and wool pants.
