Guo Jia, the history books call him "a strategist, a wonder of the world". When he was a teenager, he had a foresight, seeing that the world would be in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and after Yu Weak Guan (twenty years old), he lived in seclusion, secretly befriended Yingjie, and did not associate with the world, so not too many people knew him. At the age of 21, Guo Jia traveled north to meet Yuan Shao, and Guo Jia had been idle for six years. In the first year of An Yuan (196), one of Cao Cao's most important advisers, Xi Zhicai, died. Sad, Cao Cao wrote to Xun Yu and asked him to recommend a counselor who could succeed Xi Zhicai. Therefore, Xun Yu recommended his friend Guo Jia to Cao Cao. Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia to discuss the world's major events, and after the discussion, Cao Cao said, "The person who can help me achieve great things is him!" After Guo Jia left the tent, he also said with great joy: "This is my real master!" Guo Jia became a military officer of Cao Cao's staff, the military master, and contributed to Cao Cao's four-way conquest and served loyally.
In the face of surrender, Liu Bei advised Cao Cao: "The ancients once said: 'One day of indulging the enemy will become a scourge for several generations.' This means to put Liu Bei under house arrest for life. However, Cao Cao carelessly let Liu Bei go and let the tiger return to the mountains, which eventually became a major disaster. Against Lü Bu, Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's strategy, attacking the city on the one hand, breaking the embankment and flooding Pi on the other, and indeed conquered Xia Pi in The same month and killed Lü Bu. In the face of the Jiangdong tiger, he successfully predicted that Sun Jian would soon die at the hands of the Assassins, whether it was a coincidence or something? But it does add to its clever calculations. Before the Battle of Guandu, when Cao Cao was worried that he did not have the ability to compete with Yuan Shao, Guo Jia put forward the famous "ten victories and ten defeats".
Now Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, and although Shao is strong, he is powerless. also. Shao is full of ceremonies and ceremonies, the public body is natural, this way wins; Shao is rebellious, the public is obedient to the world, this righteousness wins also; Huan and Ling, the government is lost in the wide, Shao is wide and wide, so it is not taken, the public correction is fierce and the upper and lower knowledge system, this rule wins also; Shao wai is wide and jealous, employing people and doubting, only relatives and children, the public outside is easy to be simple and the inside is clever, the use of people is undoubted, the meritocracy is appropriate, do not ask the distance and near, this degree wins; Shao is more strategic, less decisive, lost in the future, the public policy is done, the strain is infinite, this victory is also; Shao Gao discusses and gives in order to reap the reputation, The good words of the soldiers adorn the outsiders return to many, the public treats others with the heart, not for the vain beauty, the loyalty of the soldiers is foresight and the real people are willing to use, this virtue wins also; Shao sees the people hungry and cold, compassionate thoughts, shaped in color, what they do not see, worried or not, the public is in the present small things, sometimes overlooked, as for the big things, with the four seas, the grace is added, all are over their hopes, although they are not seen, they are all thoughtful, this benevolence wins also; Shao Chancellor fights for power, rumors and confusion, the public emperor is in the Way, infiltrated is not good, this ming wins also; Shao is unknowable, the public office is to enter the courtesy, so it is not the right way, Shao Hao is a vain force, does not know the needs of soldiers, uses soldiers as a god, uses soldiers as gods, soldiers fear them, and the enemy fears them. With these ten victories, it is not difficult to defeat them.
In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and Guo Jia left a will to help Cao Cao unify the north before his death, but he died young at the age of 38. In Cao Cao's long-term conquests, he always took Guo Jia with him, so that he could always discuss and act opportunistically. Whenever there is a major military event, Guo Jia's strategy has never miscalculated, and Cao Zanqi has seen people and is his own "Qizuo". After Guo Jia's death, Wolong Kongming was introduced, is it a coincidence, or what? No one knows whether it is true that posterity said that "Guo Jia does not die, Wolong does not come out", but the fact is that after Guo Jia's death, Wolong did come out of the mountain.
Liu Beisan Gu Maolu, Longzhong decision-making. Tell Liu Beichen about the three-point plan for the world. Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" was the basic national policy of Liu Bei and Shu Han in the following decades, when Zhuge Liang was 27 years old. Zhuge Liang analyzed: "Since Dong Zhuo was good at government, Haojie in various places has risen up and occupied countless states and counties. Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's prestige was very small, but the reason why Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao in the end and defeat the strong with the weak not only relied on tianshi, but also on the proper planning of people. Now that Cao Cao had an army of a million, he had blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and this really could not compete with him. Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong, has experienced three lifetimes, the terrain is dangerous, the people are subordinate, and he has appointed talented people, who can only be used as foreign aid, but they cannot seek him. Jingzhou is bordered by Hanshui and Shuishui in the north, and supplies can be obtained all the way to the South China Sea, and it is connected to Wu County and Huiji County in the east, and it is connected to Ba County and Shu County in the west, which is a place that everyone has to compete for, but its owner has no ability to defend it. Yizhou has a dangerous terrain, vast and fertile land, and superior natural conditions, and Gaozu established the imperial industry with it. Liu Zhang was faint and cowardly, Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong in the north, the people were rich and rich in property, but Liu Zhang did not know how to cherish, and talented people longed for a wise monarch. The general is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and his prestige is very high, he is famous in the world, he is widely known as heroes, he thinks of the wise and talented, he is hungry and thirsty, if he can occupy Jing and Yizhou, hold dangerous places, reconcile with the various ethnic groups in the west, and appease the ethnic minorities in the south, unite with Sun Quan externally, and reform politics internally; once the situation under the world has changed, send a general to lead The army of Jingzhou directly to the Central Plains, and the general you personally lead the army of Yizhou to attack from Qinchuan, and the common people who dare not use bamboo baskets to serve food, What about welcoming you with wine in a jug? If this can really be done, then the cause of hegemony can be successful, and the Han dynasty can be revived. History is indeed as Zhuge said, three divisions of the world, but did not revive the Han room, at the age of 54 left unfinished business died.
As the smartest and most strategic person in the two major groups of Cao Liu, he has never made a move in his life, leaving unlimited reverie for future generations!
So if Guo Jia doesn't die, will Kong Ming go out of the mountain? If Kong Ming came out of the mountains and Guo Jia did not die, would Cao Cao still have the Battle of Chibi? Even if the Battle of Chibi is fought, can Guo Jia change the outcome of the Battle of Chibi? So the question is, guo jia or Kong Ming who is better? Which of the two is smarter? If the two appear on the stage of contemporary history, what kind of sparks will be rubbed, and can they change the direction of history?
