For example, once it was proposed, the Half-saint of the two countries would not be able to use any means to directly or indirectly interfere in the war. Also, the two countries would not be allowed to send scholars at the level of Confucian scholars to fight directly. However, the Confucian scholars could direct the war and indirectly participate in the war. For example, they could ask the Confucian scholars to design the mechanism, or ask the Confucian scholars to accelerate the ripening of the grain, etc.
Not only the Confucian scholars and Half-saint could not fight, but the two countries could not directly borrow any external forces, such as other countries or the Water Tribe. However, they were allowed to get the help of basic materials, but not holy objects or Half-saint treasures.
In the War of Provinces, the two countries would each send out a province. The two provinces had to be adjacent to each other, and all the battles had to take place within these two provinces. Neither side could bypass the areas that were not adjacent to each other.
The War of Provinces could only last for a year. After a year, if one side did not completely defeat the other side, the new territories of the two provinces would be divided according to the areas that they had occupied.
Because the War of Provinces could not be refused, the side that proposed the War of Provinces first, no matter whether they won or lost, could only start the War of Provinces again after a year. However, the side that accepted the War of Provinces passively, no matter whether they won or lost, could start the War of Provinces again.
When the War of Provinces was going on, the Notre-Dame would send the Confucian scholars and Half-saint incarnations who did not belong to the two countries to form the Special Supervisory Envoys to judge and supervise.
These Special Supervisory Envoys had a lot of power.
For example, in a battle, when the casualties of one side exceeded twenty percent, the Special Supervisory Envoys would vote. If all the Special Supervisory Envoys thought that the victory was already decided, the losing side would have to leave all the materials and retreat. At the same time, the losing side would have to withdraw half of their forces from the battle.
This half of their forces would be considered as temporarily dead and would not be able to participate in the War of Provinces within five years.
The core of the War of Provinces was to minimize the casualties while ensuring that it was relatively fair.
After all, after the first War of Two World Mountains, the human race could not afford to be tossed around. Any full-scale war between the two countries would put the entire human race in danger.
The Notre-Dame had racked her brains for the War of Provinces. She had been working on it for a total of ten years before she came up with a plan that all the countries agreed to.
In the past few years, the various countries did not participate in the War of Provinces because of the shadow of the Great War of Two Worlds Mountain. The second Great War of Two Worlds Mountain had ended for nearly half a year. There were no more demons and barbarians outside the Two Worlds Mountain. The Demon Realm could no longer be a reason to stop the War of Provinces.
The Minister of Rites, Tan Wei, said happily, "Now is the best time to launch a war to seize the provinces! Once we take back Xiangzhou, Gyeongo's morale will be greatly boosted, and the fate of the nation will rise. Jingguo's fate will definitely be weakened. Half-saint is connected to the fate of the nation, and if one side is weakened while the other side is strengthened, that person will be affected, and it will be difficult for him to consolidate his Saint Path foundation. In another year, we will be able to launch the second War of Provinces! "
"Not bad. In the battle to seize the province, they can't use the powerful mechanisms of the Dragons. Those mechanisms are too powerful and are forbidden! "
"Sigh … It's a pity that we didn't expect them to have such a mechanism when we ambushed them last time."
"I think it's feasible to fight for the provinces! Right now, Gyeongo's strength is not weaker than Jingguo's. If this drags on, it's hard to say what will happen! Jingguo had been fighting against the barbarians for years and had exhausted its potential. The only reason they were able to win was because of that person and the Aquatics! Now that the Aquatics can't participate in the war, Gyeongo's chances of winning are more than 70%! "
"No, it's 80%!"
"As long as that person doesn't participate in the war, Gyeongo will definitely win!"
"That's right! Just like what Yan Yukong said, Jingguo's previous victories were all because of that person! If that person doesn't participate in the war, how can Jingguo win? "
The hall was filled with joy. Everyone thought that Gyeongo would definitely win.
"Yan Yukong is currently a Grand Secretary," one of the scholars suddenly snorted.
The noise in the hall suddenly disappeared.
Yan Yukong was a Grand Secretary, which meant that he could participate in the War of Provinces. Since he was from Gyeongo, he had to listen to Gyeongo's orders.
Letting Yan Yukong kill Jingguo's people was the best way to drive a wedge between Yan Yukong and Fang Yun.
"No, the Yan Family won't agree to this. Nan Sheng won't agree to it either!"
"How can we not try?"
Unexpectedly, Zong Ganyu smiled and said, "Yan Yukong is a good friend of that person. We shouldn't make things difficult for him. However, he's from Gyeongo after all. He can't just stand by and watch when Gyeongo is in trouble. So, let him stay in New Capital City and participate in the war. "
When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves, 'The older, the wiser!'
If they let Yan Yukong participate in the war, not only would they offend Fang Yun, but they would also offend Nan Sheng and the Yan Family. If they let Yan Yukong stay in New Capital City and not participate in the war, Nan Sheng and the Yan Family would not mind. However, as long as they gave Yan Yukong a position related to this battle and spread the news, they would be able to make the people of Jing hate Yan Yukong. In the end, they would be able to drive a wedge between Yan Yukong and Fang Yun, and have Yan Yukong serve the Qing Kingdom wholeheartedly.
"So, which Prefecture will we participate in next?" Gyeongo's General Zong Xuan asked.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and started to think.
"Gyeongo's navy has always been stronger than Jingguo's navy. Maybe we can start the war on the water," an old Han Lin said.
Everyone looked at the old Han Lin as if they were looking at an idiot.
General Zong Xuan said angrily, "Gyeongo's navy is stronger than Jingjun's navy in the past. Gyeongo's navy has been abandoned ever since the Marine Tribe banned the sea. All the warships have not been trained for a long time. On the other hand, Jingguo's navy has the help of the Dragons and the warships have been improved. They are far stronger than our navy. If we want to fight on the water, there's no need to fight. The Special Envoy can decide the outcome. "
The old Han Lin's face turned red and he stopped talking.
"Hai Province, which is close to the sea, is not suitable to be our target."
"No, no. Hai Province has been occupied by the Gongs and the Dragons for many years. Our army has no chance of winning. If the Dragon Clan secretly plays some tricks, our army will definitely suffer a crushing defeat! Change! "
"If Jiang Province wants to fight across the river, it's also not advisable. That person is the ruler of the Yangtze River. Fighting across the river is equivalent to seeking death. "
"Then our only target is Xiang Province."
"The Xi State and the Feng State are bordering the Xiang State. The Yong State and the Xiang State are separated by the Dongting Lake. Since we don't want to fight on the water, Yong Province can't participate. Only Xi Province and Feng Province can participate. "
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
Xi Province and Feng Province's geographical environment was very ordinary. There was nothing special about their strategic positions. However, these two provinces each had a big family that could not be ignored!
Feng Province had the Zongsheng family!
Xi Province had the Xun family!
Even Zong Ganyu, who had eaten the godly medicine, was stunned. At that time, he did not think so deeply. He had not been fully awake for long. After all, he was a miscellaneous person and not a military strategist. When he was thinking about the war, he did not think about how to implement it. This should be the military's business.
Everyone did not know what to say.
Using Feng Province to fight Xiang Province? This was simply asking for a scolding. If the Zongsheng family's territory fell into chaos, it would definitely become the biggest joke in human history. It did not matter if they won, but what if they lost?
At that time, would the Zongsheng family belong to Gyeongo or Jingguo? Furthermore, the Dai family was also in Feng Province.
If they chose Feng Province, everyone present would not have the face to see the Gyeongo people.
