Mo Yao naturally didn't hide it, and said directly: "Jianping County is located in a key area, and it has always been the direct territory of the king. However, a few years ago, when the old king married the new queen, he gave Jianping County to the new queen, which is now the queen mother. ”

Jianping County is the Queen Mother's?

Does that belong to the king's family? Or is it the Queen Mother's family?

Regarding this problem, Mo Yao was also blinded.

Because, according to the tradition of Annan, except for the descendants of the Mo family, it is impossible for foreign surnames to be divided into cities.

Although the queen has a noble status, and the old king also gave Jianping to her, she is a foreign surname after all. In the next 100 years, it is very likely that the new king will take back Jianping County from their family.

So, to fight or not?

Fan Jinyan made a difficulty.

After learning about Fan Jinyan's headache, Mo Yao said unceremoniously, "Of course, not only do you have to fight, but you also have to fight beautifully." ”

Fan Jinyan didn't have time to talk, but Wang Dashan was not happy, and shouted: "Presumptuous, that's how you talked to Hou Ye?" A barbarian is a barbarian, and he doesn't know the number of courtesies. ”

Dare to scold him for being a barbarian?

That's okay, Mo Yao's eyes immediately widened, and he was about to turn his face.

Just as he was about to start scolding, he saw Fan Jinyan's face was not good, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "The last general is reckless, please also ask the general to punish him." ”

Fan Jinyan sighed and said earnestly: "You are no longer enemies, can you not be like eating a war for a day?" Colleagues should help each other, otherwise in the future, how can they hand over their backs to each other when they go to the battlefield? ”

When the words fell, Wang Dashan and Mo Yaoqi's kneeling and pleading guilt could be regarded as a superficial explanation.

After the small turmoil, Fan Jinyan cut to the chase and asked, "Why do you want to fight?" You are so positive, it won't be because you have a grudge against the Queen Mother's family! ”

"No, no, no, no......" Mo Yao waved his hand again and again: "Don't you know the temper of the last general?" If there was a grudge, I would have done it myself. It's because our Annan has the final say, not His Royal Highness, but the Queen Mother, if we ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Jinyan, "Wait, what did you say?" Is it the Queen Mother who is in charge of Annan? Didn't you just say that the first king died not long after marrying her? How could she have taken control of Annan without any political capital? ”

Listening to Mo Yao's continued explanation, Fan Jinyan understood, but he also smelled a trace of conspiracy from it.

Originally, according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Annam, if the new king succeeded to the throne as a minor, he needed his biological mother to be the regent and supervise the country until the young king came of age and then returned to power.

It was supposed to be just a normal process of succession of kingship, but the truth is not as simple as it seems.

For the first king was over seventy years old when he died, and the eldest son was nearly forty years old. It stands to reason that the eldest son of the king is the son of the family, and it is natural for him to inherit the throne, and there is nothing to question.

But the day before the death of the first king, he suddenly issued an edict asking Wang Shizi to go to a place where birds don't to be a county guard, which undoubtedly shows that Wang Shizi and the throne are not related. And on the night of Wang Shizi's departure, the first king died, and the successor to the throne was only a little doll who had just turned ten years old.

It stands to reason that the new king's biological mother should be in charge of the country, but his mother was vetoed by the queen mother, whose husband died after just a month of being queen, as the new king's biological mother.

In this way, a young lady from an ordinary official family succeeded the queen in just one month, and the queen mother continued to supervise the country, and then actually controlled the power of Annam.

It's so fast, it's staggering.

If you ask Fan Jinyan, he will definitely show a mysterious smile and say slowly: "This girl is definitely a coquettish and scheming woman, otherwise a young guy who is already old, except for his younger brother who is not hard, the rest of the old guys who are all hard will marry her?" Will you give Jianping County, which is the lifeblood of the kingdom, as a dowry? Moreover, Wang Shizi's affairs were not transferred by her? ”

Indeed, there are too many doubts, saying that this woman is fine, the ghost believes it.

But, Wang Shizi, who has been driven away, is so compromised?

In fact, it is not, Mo Yao said: "Of course Wang Shizi will not be deposed in such a daze, not long after the new king ascended the throne, he contacted the Sanlu County Guard to attack Thang Long under the banner of the Demon Queen, but within a few days, the news of Ruan's invasion came." At the moment of the great enemy, Wang Shizi stopped attacking the crumbling city of Thang Long and led his troops south to resist the attack of the Nguyen clan......"

"Let Benhou guess ......" At this time, Fan Jinyan interrupted Mo Yao's words and said with a smile: "This prince of the king, who understands righteousness, must have never come back after going south!" ”

Mo Yao nodded with some regret, "That's right, with the addition of Wang Shizi's army, the situation in the south quickly stabilized, and it also successfully repelled the Ruan clan's attack. But on the night of the celebration, Wang Shizi fell into the river due to drunkenness, alas, the misfortune of the country! ”

If you don't die early, you won't die later, but after the battle, you died on the night of the celebration, is it a coincidence?

Of course not, anyone with a little bit of brains can guess that this is not easy.

The Queen Mother is the most suspicious.

It is even certain that the Queen Mother sent someone to do it, in order to eradicate the enemy she considered the most threatening.

Of course, Fan Jinyan has little interest in the political intrigues of the small country of Annan.

Now that we already know that Jianping County is important to Annan and the Queen Mother, what else is there to say, it must be beaten into ruins, and it is also necessary to let this Queen Mother, who does not know the height of the sky, know that he Fan Jinyan is not negligent.

As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and the dignified Jinghai Marquis is also stingy! Isn't it that the king of Annam didn't come to meet him in person, and he didn't talk about it all the way, and he had to beat the lifeblood of the enemy's defense into ruins.

Could it really be that sentence, Da Ming can build a fortress for you, and he can also dismantle it in minutes?

Fan Jinyan led his army all the way across the Thanh Hoa River valley and set up camp outside a small seaside fishing village thirty miles away from Jianping County, waiting for the arrival of the supporting navy.

It turned out that after determining the combat target, Fan Jinyan ordered a small team of the navy to go north and be responsible for supporting his operation.

After less than a day's wait, a naval squad of ten battleships arrived at the predetermined location and unloaded a hundred shipboard cannons and three thousand naval soldiers.

After merging the 6,000 army and 100 cannons, Fan Jinyan did not delay any longer, and ordered the whole army to march straight to Jianping County.

The ship-borne cannon is much smaller than the army gun, only a few hundred pounds, and is equipped with two wheels, which can be pushed fast by only two or three soldiers.

However, Annan is not Qiongzhou, even the official road is potholes, and it is still time-consuming and laborious to transport cannons and shells, thirty miles of road, walking for nearly two days, until the night of the next day, 6,000 troops appeared outside the south gate of Jianping County
