Lu Yuan: "Take care of these cattle and horses, I allow you to join our tribe." ”

Xiaocao, who has been numb, has a glimmer of light in his eyes for the first time, his tribe is gone, his relatives don't know whether they are dead or enslaved by that powerful tribe, he wants to live well, starting from getting rid of slavery.

"I must take care of these cows and horses." Xiaocao made a decision in her heart.

Everyone in the fleet worked together, and soon, a ship was vacated, and twenty-three cows and horses rushed to the ship, and in addition to the ship's pilots, more than twenty fleet guards stayed on the boat to help Xiaocao take care of the cows and horses.

Before the fleet left, it had to prepare food for the return trip for the twenty-three cows and horses, and grass was one of them, and some of the soybeans and corn carried by the fleet could be fed to the cattle and horses.

After a busy moment, while it was still dark, the fleet set sail to the east for a distance, and in the field of vision, the Pegasus tribe gradually dissipated, until the sun set, and the fleet stayed in the middle of the Yellow River.

Remember not to leave the boat close to the riverbank, once there is an enemy sneak attack at night, it will be a big / trouble for the fleet, and the fleet fleet will set sail immediately It is not to make the Pegasus tribe suspicious, the two tribes have just come into contact and only made a transaction, they are good friends on the surface, but the Pegasus tribe will definitely be wary of the dragon tribe.

The first trade fleet left, and the eagle left two of his clansmen to stand guard here, and he returned to the tribe with three of his tribesmen to report to the leader about the dragon fleet.

Knowing that the dragon tribe fleet had left, the Pegasus leader breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just as Lu Yuan thought, the Pegasus leader was still vigilant against the dragon tribe who found the Pegasus tribe's residence.

"Tell all the clansmen, get ready, tomorrow morning after breakfast, we will move." The Pegasus leader said to the eagle.

If it weren't for the darkness, the Pegasus Leader would have wanted to move away from the discovered area now.

The home of the Pegasus tribe will be moved, but it will not move too far, it is good to be a few miles away from here, mainly to consider the next transaction with the dragon tribe, there will still be clansmen grazing here, once there is a bad situation, the Pegasus tribe can also escape in time.

……

After sailing for nearly half a month, the first trading fleet finally returned to Source City, bringing back two good and bad news for Su Yan.

The good news was that the First Trading Fleet discovered the tribes of the steppes and made successful contact with one tribe in exchange for twenty-three cattle and horses.

The bad news is that these 23 cows and horses are not adapted to the waterway for nearly half a month, nearly half of them are sick, and one mare dies directly.

The dragon tribe lacks horses, and the death of a horse is a huge loss, but fortunately, those sick cattle and horses will recover after careful care after returning to the shore.

The discovery of the nomadic tribe on the grassland is good news for the dragon tribe, no, it should be a great news, the nomadic tribe is different from the farming tribe, grazing cattle, horses and sheep for a living, the nomadic tribe has the cattle and horses that the dragon tribe lacks, and the dragon tribe will find more nomadic tribes to trade and obtain more cattle and horses.

Oxen can be used to cultivate more land, horses can be used to quickly communicate on land, and horses can be used to form cavalry, creating a powerful cavalry force that can sweep through all infantry.

At that time, the dragon tribe had two options, one was to continue to trade with the nomadic tribes and "slowly" obtain cattle and horses at a small cost, and the other was to use cavalry troops to conquer the nomadic tribes on the steppe, and quickly obtain a large number of cattle, horses and sheep at a small cost of casualties.

Now there is no shadow of cavalry, and in the short term they will continue to rely on trading to obtain cattle and horses.

In addition, the nomadic tribe has more cattle, horses and sheep, and there are more animal skins, at least more than the animal skins of the farming tribes.

However, this time the trade with the Pegasus tribe caused a lot of problems, the most important problem is that the dragon tribe can trade very few goods to the Pegasus tribe, only white salt.

Salt, tea, these two are the most needed items for the nomadic tribes, but unfortunately the tea is not available in the East and West Dragon tribes, and it is difficult to find tea in the north, so they can only look carefully when they develop to the south.

Salt is an important commodity, and in the future, it is necessary to increase production, not only the Pegasus tribe, but other tribes should also need salt, and even most of the farming tribes need salt.

The nomadic tribe likes to ride and shoot, and through the information gathered by the two clansmen Lu Ran and Wu Kang, who are in direct contact with the Pegasus tribe, the weapons used by the people of the Pegasus tribe are bone knives in addition to bows and arrows, and they do not like to use spears and axes.

It is similar to the nomadic tribe in Su Yan's memory, riding archery, scimitar, and saber, and it is rare to hear of a nomadic tribe that uses spears.

It was not that there were no cavalry without spears, the heavy cavalry in the West used spears, the Cossack cavalry used spears and sabers, and there were very few cavalry units or nomadic tribes using spears in China.

It is impossible to sell the bow and arrow to the nomadic tribe, the bow is one of the fundamentals of the dragon tribe's force, relying on a well-made bow, the dragon tribe can suppress other tribes with fewer warriors, once the nomadic tribe gets the bow of the dragon tribe, it is too much of a threat to the dragon tribe.

The Dragon's bow and arrow are blocked against the nomadic tribes, as well as the farming tribes, and will only sell melee weapons and "rudimentary" defensive weapons.

Since the Pegasus tribe likes bone knives, the dragon tribe will cast a batch of copper knives, and the dragon tribe itself will also cast a batch of large knives, use better bronze for casting, and slowly replace the copper axe.

What the nomadic tribe lacks, the dragon tribe prepares what goods, salt, copper knives, pottery.

Tea is not available, and it can be replaced by fruits that can be stored for a long time for the time being, but Su Yan gave up this idea, no matter how the value of the fruit increases, after all, it is lower than salt and copper knives, or it is better to trade salt and copper knives with less weight and higher value, and pottery can be traded in batches by the way.

These are then exchanged for cattle and horses from nomadic tribes, and preferably for some slaves who are good at taking care of cattle and horses.

The slave named "Xiaocao" brought back from the Pegasus tribe behaved very well, and if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that most of the cattle and horses carried by the fleet would have been sick, and not only one would have died of illness.

Coming to the Dragon Tribe, now Xiaocao's identity has changed from a slave to a first-class servant, taking care of these cattle and horses in exchange for the Pegasus Tribe, as long as there is no problem with the performance, and then learn the dragon language well, he will become a member of the Dragon Tribe next year.

The next trading fleet will be more busy, on the one hand, to continue trading with the Pegasus tribe, on the other hand, to find more nomadic tribes to try to contact and trade, the dragon tribe needs cattle and horses, and needs a large number of cattle and horses. (https:)
