Is the so-called "Guo Jia will not die, Wolong will not get out" a fact or a joke?

The word filial piety was a famous counselor under Cao Cao's account in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Guo Jia was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, but later he took refuge in Cao Cao and made great contributions to Cao Cao's unification of northern China. All the officials offered a glass of wine to the military adviser, and named Yang Wei. However, when Cao Cao conquered Wuwan, Guo Jia died at the age of 38.

History books call him "a brilliant and resourceful man, a world miracle". Cao Cao praised him for his knowledge and was his "Zuo Qi".

It is worth mentioning that among Cao Cao's many counselors, Guo Jia is the only one who knows Cao Cao best, and they are close as friends. According to the report, two people walk in the same car and sit at the same table. In his long career, Cao Cao always took Guo Jia with him, so as to learn from him at any time and improvise. During military events, Guo Jia's plan never miscalculated. Cao Cao placed infinite hopes on the young Guo Jia, intending to entrust the affairs of governing the country behind him to Guo Jia after pacifying the world.

It can be said that Guo Jia's strategy was the top level throughout the Three Kingdoms period. It is said that after the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao once said, "If you are filial, don't be lonely!" ! Alas for filial piety! Filial piety hurts! Cherish filial piety! "Sigh.

Objectively speaking, in the whole camp of Cao Wei, Guo Jia was Cao Cao's most trusted counselor. Guo Jia's role in Cao Cao is far from that of others.

2. Zhuge Liang

The word Kongming, nicknamed Wolong, was the most outstanding politician in the Three Kingdoms period, one of the founders of the Shu-Han regime, and the later official was the Prime Minister of Shu-Han.

In his early years, he went to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan. After Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang cultivated in Longzhong. Liu Bei invited him out after visiting the thatched cottage. Finally, Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei to establish Shu Han.

After the establishment of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang was named Prime Minister and Wuxiang Hou. He comforted the people at home, showed his manners, agreed on his official position, followed the power system, was sincere and fair, and joined forces with Wu to resist Wei. In order to realize the political ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty, he made several northern expeditions, but failed due to various factors and finally died in Wuzhangyuan.

Throughout Zhuge Liang's life, his political achievements were greater than his military achievements. What is particularly worth mentioning is that he devoted himself to death all his life, and he was the representative of loyal ministers and wise men in China traditional culture.

Chen Shou, the author of the History of the Three Kingdoms, gave an extremely accurate evaluation of Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang is also concerned with the country, comforting the people, showing grace, appointing officials, obeying the power system, being sincere and doing things fairly; Although those who are loyal to the times will get revenge, those who violate the law and neglect their duties will be punished by their relatives, those who confess their feelings will be released, and those who are eloquent will be slaughtered. Good without reward, evil without fiber without degeneration; Ordinary things are concise, based on physics, with real responsibility for fame and fortune, hypocrisy and contempt; Finally, people who are afraid and love each other in the national territory, although the criminal law is harsh and there is no complaint, are trying to persuade them clearly. It can be said that he is a talented person who knows how to govern the country, and he is a horse of Xiao. But after years of mobilization, it still failed, and the cover strain will be slightly, which is not its strength!

Indeed, compared with Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang's military capability is obviously inferior to that of Guo Jia. It can be said that in the whole Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang's political talent was absolutely first-class, but his military talent was obviously far behind Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Chen Gong and Xun You. Even in the Shu-Han camp, Zhuge Liang's military talent is not as good as that of another counselor.

Therefore, from the above point of view, the statement that "Guo Jia will not die, Wolong will not go out" still has certain factual basis, and it is by no means groundless.
