The first trade fleet sailed all the way west, and four of the seven tribes that had traded last time had made a second trade with the fleet, and the scale of the trade was relatively small, and the tribe with the most was only exchanging animal skins for ten bronze weapons.

The first transaction in exchange for a small batch of copper weapons, a month has already made them understand that copper weapons are good, but their tribe has nothing more to exchange for copper weapons, and the scale of the second transaction cannot be expanded much.

When the fleet sailed to the tribe closest to the Yan tribe, it found a problem, in broad daylight, this tribe with the name of "fish" actually had no people fishing by the river.

Feeling weird, the fleet approached the river bank and looked in the direction of the fish tribe's residence, where there was only a ruin left, and the fish tribe was gone!

The fleet continued to sail westward, and the task of this trip was the grassland opposite the Yan tribe, and the destruction of the fish tribe had nothing to do with the dragon tribe, but the destruction of the fish tribe made Lu Yuan feel a little emotional, thinking of what Wang often said, "the weak eat the strong".

The weak tribe was wiped out by the powerful tribe, the dragon tribe was so weak that the strength was not even comparable to the fish tribe, and now the dragon tribe is so strong that it has no opponents.

The grasslands on the north bank of the Yellow River appeared in the field of vision of the First Trading Fleet, and a dozen or so eye-sighted clansmen on the bow of the fleet stood on the high places of the ships or stood on the decks looking into the depths of the grasslands, and their task was to find the herds of cattle and sheep in the grasslands, and the horses that the king had mentioned.

Due to the conditions, the tribesmen on the head boat could not see far into the interior of the grassland, let alone find cattle, sheep and horses.

The Yellow River is an important source of water, and it stands to reason that animals will come to drink water, but the north bank of the Yellow River is relatively steep, and animals cannot stand on the bank to drink the water of the Yellow River, so it is not surprising that no animals are found.

The flotilla sailed through the river section corresponding to the Yan tribe, and did not see the Yan tribe hoisting the white flag, and the flotilla continued to sail westward.

The Yan tribe's fishing tribesmen found the traces of the First Trading Fleet, and several tribesmen quickly ran back to the tribe to inform the chief.

As if he was worried that the Dragon Tribe would attack the Yan tribe because of the last coriander incident, the Yan leader hurriedly led the clansmen to the riverbank.

Leader Yan's worries were superfluous, there was no dragon tribe fleet on the river bank, and the dragon tribe fleet was just passing by here, heading further west.

Coriander took the rattan shield and the copper axe, looked at the distant dragon tribe fleet and pouted, shouldn't the dragon tribe find a strong person to compete with her, why didn't she stop, it seems that the dragon tribe does not have a person with greater strength than herself.

"There's a beast there, it's a cow! And sheep, there are still people there! ”

When the First Trading Fleet sailed through the Yellow River, which had a steep bank, one of the clansmen noticed a large herd of cattle and sheep in front of the right side of the fleet, and a man riding on a beast that resembled the "horse" painted by the king, which must have been the beast called "horse" that the king had said.

Hearing the sound outside, Deer Edge stepped out of the cabin and stood on the deck looking into the distance.

A large herd of cattle, horses and sheep drank the water of the Yellow River on the north bank of the relatively gentle Yellow River, and dozens of figures were either standing on the banks of the Yellow River or riding on horses.

"Those beasts were bred by other tribes?" Lu Yuan heart.

The flotilla moved forward quickly, but there was a commotion in the herds of cattle, horses, and sheep in front of them, and the herdsmen spotted the First Trading Fleet, and when they were not sure whether there was any danger, they immediately drove the herds away from the river bank and ran north.

When the fleet came to the place where the cattle, horses and sheep were in the river, the straight-line distance between the cattle, horses and sheep and the fleet had exceeded 100 zhang, and it was impossible for the two sides to contact each other for such a long distance.

Luyuan shook his head speechlessly, and the fleet continued to sail west, hoping to discover a new target.

No one knows exactly when the nomadic tribes appeared, but the dragon tribes lived in an era when the nomadic tribes appeared.

The nomadic tribes lived by grazing cattle, horses and sheep, they wore animal skins, armed with rudimentary bows and arrows, and bone knives, and rode on horseback many times, eating meat when they were hungry and drinking milk when they were thirsty, and had no need for the products of the farming tribes.

Cattle, horses and sheep have a great demand for grass, and nomadic tribes can not stay in one area for too long, and if they stay for a long time, cattle, horses and sheep will lack food and can only continue to migrate their homes, which is also the source of "travel" for nomads.

Wars between tribes also take place on the grasslands, and the two nomadic tribes that meet will choose to attack, confront, and flee according to the strength of the other party.

The cattle, horses and sheep domesticated by the nomadic tribes are their everything, and the two tribes are at war with the main purpose of plundering the population and cattle, horses and sheep.

Men were reduced to slavery, women bore children for them, and boys who had little ability to work were killed.

There are similarities and differences between nomadic tribes and farming tribes, for example, only powerful people can become leaders, when a challenger appears, the loser is either killed or expelled from the tribe, and it is also possible that the loser will split the tribe with a group of followers.

The internal strife of nomadic tribes was more brutal than that of agrarian tribes.

These things are not yet known to the dragon tribe, the dragon tribe has just touched on the grassland, and in the future, the nomadic tribe will have an in-depth understanding.

The first trading fleet continued westward, and the next morning the fleet found another target on the north bank of the Yellow River, but as the fleet approached, the target drove cattle, horses, and sheep away from the riverbank.

Lu Yuan has found out, it is very troublesome to get close to these people on the grassland, the other party is too cautious, the fleet is close, and the other party will leave.

Also, most tribes must be vigilant in the face of unknown situations, farming tribes have a place to live and it is difficult to escape quickly, and nomadic tribes can drive cattle, horses and sheep away at any time, not to mention that the target of these two encounters is dozens of people grazing large herds of cattle, horses and sheep to the river bank of the river, there is not much strength, and they naturally choose to leave as soon as they encounter the situation.

In the afternoon, luck finally befell the First Trading Fleet, which found a strange tribal settlement nearly a mile away from the north bank of the Yellow River, surrounded by large herds of cattle, horses, and sheep.

The first contact with the nomadic tribe was quite dangerous, but Hu Lang, Li Zhi, Lu Ran, and Wu Kang all took the initiative to ask Ying to contact the tribe living on the grassland.

Lu Yuan: "Yes, Kang, you two go." ”

"No."

Lu Ran and Wu Kang showed joy on their faces, the dragon tribe lacked cattle and the horses that the king said, if the two of them could successfully contact this tribe and make a deal, the two of them would be considered a great achievement.

On the contrary, Hu Lang and Li Zhi, who were not selected, sighed, such a good opportunity for meritorious service did not get their hands.

As for the danger of "clearing the wasteland", in fact, it is not great, the personnel of the Ministry of Commerce are all able to speak well, as long as they do not anger the tribes they come into contact with, they will return smoothly.
