In the open space in the southwest area of Zhongjing City, six people from Mu Shi, Kong Chang, and Snake Proverb and two hundred and twenty warriors from various cities in the Xia Kingdom gathered here, and at the same time, there were a full hundred war horses beside them.

Mu Shi looked at the young warriors in front of him and shouted: "In the next three months, you will be trained together, and after the training, the final assessment will be conducted, and the top eighty-eight in the assessment will officially become cavalrymen."

Don't be discouraged after eighty-eight, you are all excellent warriors from various cities, although there is only one team of our cavalry unit at present, but it will definitely be expanded in the future, you all have the opportunity to become a cavalry, riding a war horse galloping on the battlefield, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" The young warriors shouted together, all with the same idea in their hearts, to strive to be one of the first eighty-eight cavalrymen.

You must know that the captain, deputy captain, tun commander, and deputy tun commander of the first cavalry team have already been appointed, but there are no arrangements for the chief and the chief of the army, and in the end they will definitely be given priority to be promoted from those with outstanding achievements.

Looking at the fanatical young warriors in front of him, Mu Shi felt a little helpless in his heart, as the highest position in the cavalry unit of the Xia Kingdom, Mu Shi knew more things, he knew that next year the Xia Kingdom would build a new city in the edge of the grassland, the Xia Kingdom officially involved the grassland area, and the cavalry had an area where they could gallop, which was the real reason why the Xia Kingdom formed a cavalry unit.

However, the number of horses in the Xia Kingdom is not large, and each city needs to use a large number of horses to pull the carts, and it is impossible to draw many horses, and even two hundred and twenty warriors cannot be satisfied with one horse each.

Most of the horses can become war horses when they come back from trading from the nomadic tribes, but these horses live in narrow cities for a long time, and rarely can run freely, and they are slowly scrapped.

It is said that the nomadic tribes on the grassland, each warrior will be equipped with two to three war horses when they go out to fight, and one war horse will change to a horse when it is tired of running, which is really enviable.

The young warriors all have a heart that wants to become a cavalryman, Mu Shi has a bigger dream, he wants to command a cavalry of thousands of people, crisscrossing the grassland, and snatching more cattle, horses and sheep for the Xia Kingdom.

Training began, and two hundred and twenty young warriors trained as hard as they could to become members of the cavalry.

The establishment of the cavalry unit was concerned by Su Yan, who understood the role of the cavalry very well and wanted to build a strong cavalry, but limited by the current conditions, he could only come step by step, first build a team, and then slowly expand.

The grassland has become another goal of Su Yan, if possible, before the end of the five-year plan, Su Yan will let the cavalry troops fight in the grassland, the cavalry riding skills of the Xia country can not catch up with the nomadic tribes who grew up on horseback, but the Xia country also has its own advantages, all kinds of horse harness, and the strong bow is definitely a big killer to sweep the grassland.

At that time, the Xia Kingdom will have sufficient cattle and horses, and the development of the Xia Kingdom will also speed up, and every adult male can drive an ox to plow the fields, and more horses will carry carts to transport goods or people back and forth.

……

On the other hand, in addition to the nomadic tribes, other tribes that have had contact with the Xia State, in the first foreign trade of this year, the first trade fleet and the second trade fleet sent the "king's invitation" to each tribe, because of the "king's invitation", the high-ranking people of each tribe frequently gathered to discuss the matter.

"We will not join the Xia Kingdom, our tribe will one day become a powerful tribe like the Xia Kingdom."

"If you don't join the Xia Kingdom, what if the Xia Kingdom sends a large army to attack our tribe?"

"Why don't we join the Xia Kingdom, for many years, our tribe has been like this, and if we can join the Xia Kingdom, the clansmen will be able to live a happy life."

"No, absolutely not, our tribe can't join the Xia Kingdom."

From the grassland in the west to the fishing tribes in the east, there are less than fifteen tribes living in this area of the Yellow River Basin, and before the original dragon tribe carried out foreign trade, the number of tribes in this area was more than forty (referring to the tribes living on both sides of the main trunk of the Yellow River, if you go north and south, there are still many tribes, those tribes are far away from the Yellow River, and the Xia Kingdom cannot contact them).

How many years have passed, and there are tribes that have joined the Xia Kingdom, tribes that have perished in natural disasters, and tribes that have been wiped out by war, and now there are only so many left.

In the face of the "King's Invitation", most of the tribes do not have a unified choice, only powerful tribes such as the Fishing Tribe and the Sun Tribe make the fastest choice, and the two tribes are strong, so they naturally will not choose to join the Xia Kingdom, but the high-level leaders of the two tribes are also very worried about the Xia Kingdom.

Suddenly, Xia Guo issued such an invitation, which surprised the Fishing Tribe and the Sun Tribe very much, and both tribes gathered at the top to discuss the matter, not about accepting the invitation or not, but about why Xia Guo issued such an invitation.

From the very beginning, when the Xia Kingdom contacted and traded with the Fishing Tribe and the Sun Tribe, the two tribes have always been cautious and wary of the Xia Kingdom, and almost all the tribes that the Xia Kingdom contacted and traded with it, but the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe have always been vigilant against the Xia Kingdom while trading with the Xia Kingdom, and they have not relaxed.

Later, they guessed the purpose of the Xia Kingdom, and the purpose of contacting various tribes was to let the tribes understand the strength of the Xia Kingdom, so that the various tribes chose to join the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom became stronger.

Why is Xia Guo suddenly inviting now, is it because Xia Guo's plan has changed? Will we have a bad relationship with Xia Guo if we refuse the invitation?

Both tribes were debating what would happen if they refused the invitation, and there was even speculation that the Xia would send a large army to attack their tribe after they rejected the Xia invitation.

The human beings of this era don't have those twists and turns in their heads, but this doesn't mean that they are stupid, especially the big deal like the fishing tribe and the day tribe, and after a little analysis, you can almost understand the meaning of Xia Guo, but Xia Guo is much stronger than their two tribes, and I am afraid that after refusing Xia Guo's invitation, I will have a bad relationship with Xia Guo.

As for accepting the invitation, almost no one at the top of the two tribes would think about it.

The various tribes discussed and discussed, worrying too much about things, unable to make a final decision, and even two tribes preferred to accept the invitation, but there were still many high-level people within the tribe who did not want to accept the invitation, until the second arrival of the fleet of the Xia Kingdom, the various tribes still did not make a decision.

Xia Guo is not in a hurry, this year will give the tribes a good time, next year Xia will use force to deter, and the year after tomorrow will really send a large army.

Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die!

Three years in three steps, a two-year period, each tribe must make a choice.
