If countries wage war against each other,
it's likely that the disputes won't be resolved, and instead, national strength will be further weakened.
At that time, other countries could easily swallow up the four nations.
The rulers of these small countries are not fools and wouldn't do such things.
National-scale wars are not feasible, so a small-scale competition is held to determine victory or defeat.
This competition conference will determine, based on the final outcome, the three-year ownership of several disputed areas.
The more wins, the more tax revenue from prosperous cities one can gain.
For Prince Cheng, it's impossible not to place importance on the tax revenue from multiple cities.
The reason to go out of his way to invite Mo Wanshui for help is also due to this.
For Prince Cheng, of course, there are additional reasons.
Apart from national affairs, there's also his own personal interest.
The current Sovereign of Cangye Country is childless.
