The Third Trade Fleet had just finished trading with the Wind Tribes and continued its voyage west home.

The Wind Tribe is a small tribe with a population of more than 800 people, peace-loving, and does not like to fight with other tribes, but when there is an enemy invasion, the people of the Wind Tribe will take up arms to defend their homeland.

To the surprise of Lu Ran, the leader of the third trade team, this time the peace-loving Wind Tribe actually traded the population this time, with a population of more than 400 people, both adults and children, and the number of adults is relatively small, but there are both men and women, and the Wind Tribe did not leave women to give birth to children for the men of their tribe like other tribes.

How could the peace-loving Wind Tribe have so many captives, and which tribe was it obtained by attacking?

Before, because the atmosphere of the Wind Tribe was not right, there was uncontrollable sadness on the faces of the Wind Tribe people, and the people of the third trade team did not communicate much with the people of the Wind Tribe, and left after the transaction, obviously the Wind Tribe killed and injured some people in that war, which made other tribesmen sad.

If you can't get information from the Wind Tribe for the time being, then get some information from these people who have just traded with the Wind Tribe, they are starved by the Wind Tribe, and under the temptation of food, someone will soon obey, and Lu Ran finally knows the course of this war.

I don't know what the name of this tribe conquered by the Wind Tribe is, for the time being, it is called Tribe A, Tribe A is located in the southeast of the Wind Tribe, and the two tribes are more than half a day apart.

The A tribe is also a tribe based on farming, last year's floods, the crop yield of the A tribe was reduced, the summer came, the grain of the A tribe bottomed out, the food obtained every day could not support the survival of the A tribe, but there was still a long time before the autumn harvest, and because of this year's drought, the crops planted by the A tribe this year will be reduced.

For the survival of the tribe, Tribe A can only choose war, through war to get more food, let their tribe continue to survive, knowing that war will kill people, but Tribe A only has this way to go.

Tribe A did not start a war blindly, first scouting the situation of several tribes around Tribe A, and finally Tribe A chose the Wind Tribe with a smaller population than Tribe A and probably storing a lot of food.

On that day, Tribe A sent all the adults in the tribe except for the pregnant, injured, and sick, and the clansmen who were close to adulthood to follow suit, and under the leadership of the leader, Tribe A launched an attack on the Wind Tribe.

In the face of the attack of Tribe A, the Wind Tribe reacted very quickly, and burst out with a combat power that the people of Tribe A could not have imagined, Tribe A was defeated, and the Wind Tribe also killed and injured dozens of people.

Although the Wind Tribe is peace-loving, but the enemy has come over, the Wind Tribe has no mercy, and after defeating the attacking enemy, the leader of the Wind Tribe leads most of the warriors of the tribe to the residence of the A tribe to completely destroy the A tribe.

For some of the surrounding tribes, the Wind Tribe still understands them, and they can roughly guess which tribe the enemy is from just by seeing the appearance of the enemy, and they have not chosen the wrong target.

After knowing this information, Lu Ran was speechless to Tribe A, he failed to attack the Wind Tribe, but was destroyed by the Wind Tribe, how miserable this Tribe was to be killed.

Also, it is not surprising that the Xia tribe traded with the wind tribe, and the wind tribe obtained a lot of weapons and equipment from the Xia country, and its strength was greatly improved, and it was not surprising that it defeated the A tribe and did not suffer much loss on its own.

If Tribe A were to change to a tribe that had not traded with the Xia Kingdom, it would not end up like this.

The third trading fleet returned quickly, bringing these more than 400 people back to the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom had another group of servants, and Lu Ran reported the matter, which was finally known to Su Yan.

"Disasters, food, war." Su Yan said three words in his mouth, and these three words are closely related, because of natural disasters lack food, because of lack of food to start a war.

Su Yan thought of last year's floods, under the floods, the crops planted by the farming tribes will be more or less reduced, and in the summer of this year, that is, now, those tribes have begun to lack food, there is no way to catch fish on a large scale, and hunting alone cannot meet the tribe's demand for food, in this case, they can only start a war, get food from other tribes, and let their tribe continue to survive.

War, war, Su Yan understands that the war between the Wind Tribe and the A Tribe is just a microcosm of natural disasters, there will be more wars launched because of food in this summer, and these tribes that the Xia Kingdom has come into contact with may be involved in the war, they all trade some weapons and equipment from the Xia Kingdom, it is generally difficult to defeat, and after the war is won, a large number of prisoners can be obtained, and the Xia Kingdom needs a population.

After thinking about this, Su Yan personally went to the Ministry of Commerce to discuss the matter with Lu Yuan, and soon, the Xia Kingdom trade fleet set out again to increase the number of ships, which could carry more people at one time.

The Yellow River valley was in chaos, one war after another because of food broke out, and one tribe after another was severely damaged and annihilated.

Even those tribes who have decided to join the Xia Kingdom but have not yet moved have been involved in the war, fortunately, the Xia Kingdom gave those tribes a large number of weapons and equipment, which greatly improved their own strength, won the war, and also obtained a large number of prisoners, except for the women who were left behind, the rest of the captives were transported to the Xia Kingdom.

Since these people were captured by the tribes who were about to join the Xia Kingdom, most of the population was reduced to slavery in order to prevent hidden dangers.

Boatloads of people were transported to the Xia Kingdom, including slaves and servants, and when the total population of the Xia Kingdom is counted in the spring of next year, the population that has increased this year is definitely much larger than in the past, and the Xia Kingdom does not mind the rapid increase in population, of course, it is best not to increase too much at once, so it is easy to indigestion.

Until the end of summer, the war is gone, and the autumn harvest is coming, even if this year's dry climate reduces crop yields, the harvested grain can be sustained by the tribes until next spring, at least there will not be many wars during this time, just waiting for the next food war to come.

If extreme climate change does not return to normal soon, food wars will come one after another, and there will be no more natural and man-made disasters than this.

Because of the arid climate this year, and because of the food war, in addition to the six tribes in the spring, three more tribes decided to join the Xia Kingdom in the summer, and the three cities that the Xia Kingdom will build this year will soon live in nine tribes, and the nine tribes together have a total population of more than 8,000.

When the Xia Kingdom enters the autumn harvest, the Xia Kingdom currently has forty-five Class A ships and eight Class B ships, most of which will be sent out to bring the nine tribes back to the Xia Kingdom before the arrival of winter.
