10, how could it be Shangdang County
Li Jian left the lobby and asked his excited mother, aunt and a slightly shy sister to continue chatting. He sat in the study and fell into thinking.
"Things are wrong." This is the conclusion that Li Jian came to after pondering for a while.
Who is Zhao Kuo? That is Zhao She's son.
Zhao She's title is Ma Fujun, which is the second only to King Zhao in the entire Zhao State. She is even higher than the nobles like Lin Xiangru and Lian Po. She is a big figure who truly stands at the peak of power in Zhao State.
Although Li Jian's father Li Bin also served as an important position as Handan Order, his title was only a senior official, and there were three levels between him and Zhao She, Shangqing, Zhongqing and Xiaqing.
If a family of a king and a king, it is called a matchmaking family.
If you marry Qingzhi's family, it will be considered a strong alliance.
But if you marry a doctor's family, it will only be a big problem.
As for what love at first sight...
Of course, a sensual woman can believe these, but if a rational man who has experienced three lifetimes also believes in these, it will seem a bit idiotic.
What exactly does Zhao Kuo want to do?
Zhao Kuo sat in the carriage, staring at the person in front of him, with a obviously confused expression.
"It's just a mere doctor, really worth such a test?"
A peaceful and calm voice sounded, answering Zhao Kuo’s question: “Of course it’s worth it.”
Zhao Kuo was a little dissatisfied: "I think you are going to have a big fight. If my mother knew that I would marry a woman from a doctor's family, even if she was just acting in a play, she would be very angry."
The man in the car said, "This doctor just convinced the Queen Mother."
Zhao Kuo said: "Many people can convince the Queen Mother, so can I."
The tone of the person in the car was sarcastic and said, "Even Tian Dan, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and Pingyuan Jun can't do it, are you sure you can?"
Zhao Kuo was speechless for a moment, and after a moment he said unwillingly: "Maybe not possible in diplomacy, but if we talk about military affairs, the ten Li Jianshes together are not as good as a finger for me."
The man in the car chuckled and said, "Then you'd better prove this in a meeting with Li Jian later."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Of course I will."
The carriage stopped slowly, and the voice of the coachman came from outside the carriage: "Young Master, Doctor Li Jian's mansion is right in front."
The person in the car said, "I am waiting for your good news outside."
Zhao Kuo called the other party who was about to get off the car and said very seriously: "The last question. Just a doctor is really so important?"
The person in the car paused slightly, as if he was hesitating about something, but he finally gave an answer.
"Of course it's not important to be a doctor, but the problem is that he has done something that no civil and military officials in the court can do. The bigger problem is that there will be a second time when there is a first time, do you understand?"
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and after a burst of footsteps, Zhao Kuo was the only one left in the car.
Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment and said, "Go to Doctor Li's house to submit a message."
The door of Li Jian’s study was knocked, and the old housekeeper’s voice came from outside: “The head of the family, Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, came to pay a visit, I hope to meet you.”
Li Jian stood up: "Please come in, I'll see him in the lobby."
In his previous life, Li Jian was driven out of Handan on the first day of his time travel. When he returned to Handan again, Zhao Kuo had already died in Changping. So this was the first time Li Jian had seen Zhao Kuo since he traveled through time travel.
Zhao Kuo is a very energetic young man. He is about the same height and size as Li Jian. He looks a few years older than Li Jian. He should be around twenty-five years old.
He has sword-eyed eyebrows, starry eyes, and looks heroic. He walks with a tremendous look. On both sides of the crown, a few tail feathers unique to the Zhao people swaying in the air with their bodies shaking.
Zhao Kuo smiled and bowed to Li Jian: "What kind of virtue is Zhao Kuo? He actually asked Doctor Li to go out to wait. I am really frightened."
Li Jian also smiled and said, "Brother Zhao's talent is known to everyone in the country. He is also the son of Ma Fujun. Today, the grand ceremony is coming, which really makes my house shine. How dare Li lose his courtesy? Please come in."
The two walked into the lobby, took a seat with the host and greeted each other.
When it comes to unnutritional clichés, Li Jian, who has been a human being for three lifetimes, was naturally perfect, so he chatted with Zhao Kuo for half an hour.
Zhao Kuo seemed a little careless and said, "I wonder what Doctor Li thinks about the situation of the princes like today?"
Li Jian smiled and said, "What else can I think? Since the three families divided Jin, Chu and Qi have dominated one after another. However, looking at the world, only Zhao and Qin have the same overlord status. But as the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and sooner or later, our Great Zhao and Qin will have a battle."
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Jian with some surprise: "I thought Doctor Li Jian should be a peacemaker. I didn't expect you to be so pessimistic about the relationship between Zhao and Qin?"
Li Jian said seriously: "Brother Zhao's view of me is obviously biased. Throughout history, it is absolutely impossible to become the new overlord among the princes without experiencing a war that completely defeats the old overlord."
"Since Shangjun's reform, Qin defeated Chu first and then Qi, and it was already the most powerful country in the world. If Great Zhao did not cross the peak of Qin, he would definitely not be able to surpass the top of the princes."
Zhao Kuo's expression flashed and said, "Since that's the case, wouldn't the best opportunity to defeat Qin with the help of Qi army at the moment?"
Li Jian nodded and said, "It's true. It's a pity that King Yingji of Qin is a wise king. He will not give Da Zhao this opportunity. He will definitely order Wang to withdraw his troops and return to his country."
Zhao Kuo said: "In Dr. Li's opinion, when is the most suitable time period for the Great Zhao to surpass Qin?"
Li Jian smiled and said, "Of course it will be the next time Qin State takes action."
Zhao Kuo frowned and said, "Doctor Li's words are a bit general. Can you make it clear?"
Li Jian asked someone to take a map and spread it on the table.
"Brother Zhao, please see, Qin has now occupied the east of the Wei Kingdom, and the east side of the Han Wuhan Passage, even the Luoyi of King Zhou is completely under his control."
"Now Qin State, under the leadership of the prime minister Fan Sui, pursues the national policy of "family and close attacks". As the name suggests, Qin State will only launch an attack on the countries bordering it."
"Looking at the times, the countries bordering Qin from north to south are Da Zhao, South Korea and Chu."
"Qin's attack on the Great Zhao has just ended. Normally, its next attack will no longer choose the direction of the Great Zhao."
"If Qin attacks Chu, it will be difficult to conquer Chu's territory, and the second is that the capital of Chu is now in Chencheng on the south bank of the Great River (Yellow River), so it is very easy to ask for help from other princes. If Qin does not want to repeat the mistakes today, it should not attack Chu."
"Therefore, among the three neighboring countries, South Korea, which has the smallest area, the smallest population and the weakest national strength, should be the next target of Qin."
Zhao Kuo stared at the map in front of him, pondered for a long time, and slowly nodded in agreement: "Doctor Li's words are indeed quite reasonable. Zhao Kuo dared to ask Doctor Li to continue to make it clear, where will the Qin State choose South Korea as the main attack direction?"
Li Jian smiled and continued to speak confidently.
"Now there are only two counties in South Korea. Shangdang County is on the north side, and the Gyeonggi area where the capital Shin-zheng is located, so this is a choice of two."
"From my guess, the next step of Qin's attack is definitely Shangdang County."
Zhao Kuo nodded in agreement at the beginning, but when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly changed.
The next moment, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but raise his tone.
"No, how could it be Shangdang County!?"
