Guo Jia, a genius in troubled times

If Zhuge Liang's wisdom is close to the demon, then Guo Jia's talent is entitled to the title of ghosts and gods. The so-called first counselor of Wei was not Sima, as most people think, but Guo Jia. Guo was suppressed in love. Although he wrote some major events, he didn't describe them in detail like others, so he was not impressed. Even, many people don't know that there are such powerful people in the Three Kingdoms!

Guo Jia spent his childhood reading all kinds of art books and literature books. Guo Jia Jia is an influential middle-class family in Yingchuan, so the Guo family can be well trained. It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu, the three smartest people in the Three Kingdoms, have no real teachers and professors, and are basically self-taught. Although Zhuge Liang didn't ask for advice from Shui Jing and others, others made their debut earlier than him, and they were honed only during the period of the Yellow Scarf Army.

As an adult, Guo Jia immediately set off for Yuan Shao, a noble family of the then IV Sangong. Because of his position, Yuan Shao recruited many celebrities from the Three Kingdoms, such as Zhao Yun. Guo Jia, wait. However, due to Yuan Shao's poor ability, most of them left soon after he came. But Yuan Shao's situation shows that a brand is undoubtedly very important in troubled times. Therefore, for a resounding name, Cao Cao will immediately send troops to save Xian Di, and Liu Bei will gladly accept Xian Di's reward.

Besides, back to Yuan, basically no one agrees with him except Tian Feng who knows Guo Jia. So Guo Jia had to say goodbye to Yuan Shao and go to Cao. As soon as Guo Jia left, Cao Cao was ecstatic to meet him, because Guo Jia was also recommended by Yu Xun, who gave him a high evaluation. Cao Cao is also a non-common sense talent, especially in the counselor's area. It is almost useless to miss it.

When Guo Jia came, just like Zhuge Liang did to Liu Bei, he first put forward the strategy of Cao Cao sharing the world. In fact, Kongming's Longzhong Pair is similar to Guo Jia's Longzhong Pair, and both are general strategies. However, due to Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the world only knows that there are bright things in the Three Kingdoms. Guo Jia proposed, green first, then Xu, and then Hebei. Green first, is to expand the land? On the other hand, collecting food and grass is also to defeat Qingzhou 300 thousand yellow turban insurrectionary army. Due to the weak strength of the Yellow Scarf Army, which claims to be 300,000, there are actually many old people and children. So we can win the hearts of the people by defeating them, and we can also enlist these hundreds of thousands of yellow turban insurrectionary troops to strengthen our strength.

And "post-Xu", that is, Xuzhou is calm and rich, and there are not many riots of the Yellow Scarf Army, which also stems from the credit. Tao Qian is not as incompetent as in romance novels. Tao Qian was also good at playing when he was young, and his ability to govern counties was above average. However, because of old age, it gradually weakened, but at this time, Xuzhou's economic development could not be compared with other twelve states because of the construction of Tao Qian. Moreover, it is located in the Central Plains, extending in all directions, and is a military hub. Therefore, taking Xuzhou can not only increase the economy and harvest a lot of grain and grass, but also take the initiative in the Central Plains.

As for Hebei, not to mention. Regardless of war, grain and land for the time being, the most important thing is that one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, let alone two overlords. So one stop in Hebei is a must. However, Yuan Shaobing is numerous. When Cao started, there were 100 thousand Yuan Shaobing. What's more, when Cao Cao was in Guandu, he was suppressed by a dozen troops.

Cao Cao praised Guo Jia's strategy. Cao Cao is the most capable and capable of the three kingdoms. You can understand it after a little thought. Immediately treat Guo Jia as a distinguished guest and hand over the whole operation to him. Overall combat capability is the fundamental criterion to distinguish a top-level army from the ability to govern the country. Not many people have this ability, and there are only a few talented people in the Three Kingdoms, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Sima Yi and Lv Meng. Such as Yu Xun, Lu Su, Lu Xun and Jiang Wei. It's a little bad.

In my opinion, there are three types of military staff: military staff with the army, which is the lowest level. Joining the army means participating in all kinds of battles and going to the battlefield in person. Although the level is the lowest, it is still something. Soldiers of this rank, such as Yang Xiu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and Jian Yong, can only promote a battlefield situation.

The second level, strategic strategist: the difference between the strategist at this level and the first level is that although sometimes accompanied by the army, the strategic strategist grasps the situation of a war zone. He is a master of the war situation. Such military strategists, such as Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Cheng Yu and Lu Su, can be regarded as second-rate military strategists.

The third level, that is, the people in charge of the overall situation, are Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Yu Xun, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others. If army staff officers command individual battlefields and strategists command major battles, then those who command the overall situation command the national war. Or a more popular metaphor, this is similar to the small shareholders in the stock, and the types of fund companies and banker shareholders are similar. This is the real top strategist!

However, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Kong Ming, Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo and Wen He are all top talents, and they can shine brilliantly in any historical period. It's hard to tell Zhong Bo apart.

Thus, Guo Jia's strength is also clear at a glance. However, why is Guo the person I think is beyond? What's different about him? Listen to me in detail.

First of all, the basic military ability of counselors. Guo Jia's military strategy is called "conspiracy". That's why the world nicknamed him a genius. When we arrived in Xuzhou, Cao Cao was almost their lair, and everything that could be played in Yanzhou was taken away, but Guo Jia immediately stopped Cao Cao's action, suggested to him to leave at least one valiant soldier, several generals and several military advisers, and told Cao Cao that this state was our lair, and it was terrible to lose it. So Cao Caocai chose to leave General Xiahou Chun and local official Cheng Yu (they didn't show their due talents at that time, so they were only local officials at that time) to guard the three counties in East Asia! Otherwise, there will be one less Cao Cao in three points in history! In the March, Guo Jia's strategy surprised the soldiers. For example, we fought Liu Bei, the battle of Xuzhou, and LiGuo (Cui Li, Guo Si), Luoyang and Xian Di.

Secondly, the more powerful overall strategy also refers to the step-by-step strategy. Very rigorous and meticulous, except for some unexpected emergencies (such as Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, Liu Bei in Xuzhou and a dead Lyu3 bu4), which basically helped Cao Cao to lay a solid foundation for unifying the world. In contrast, Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair is not inferior.

Think about it. Although Zhuge Liang wanted to help Liu Bei lay a unified foundation, it was not practical. Although Zhuge Liang met with many difficulties and Guo Jia fought Xuzhou three times, it didn't hurt a general and let Guan Yu fight for a few days. Guan Da, Jingzhou won once, but it was only repeated several times. In the end, it not only lost Jingzhou, but also damaged the military commander Guan Yu. In Hebei Province, the famous generals Zhang He and Gao Lan were subdued. Not only did it take two years to observe Kongming and fight Yizhou, but it also damaged the strategist Pang Tong. In contrast, the pros and cons come out. But it is undeniable that I think Zhuge Liang's internal affairs are undoubtedly the first in the three countries. It can be seen that under the condition of local security, Shu can dispatch troops.

Finally, Guo Jia's unique specialty, psychological tactics, and this kind of psychological tactics is very superb. The most famous application is the battle of Guandu. In addition, there are several examples, such as fighting Xian Di and Guo Jia, which not only calculated the contradiction between Li Jue and Li Jue, but also laid a good psychological war for Yuan Shao, making him hesitate when saving Xian Di, and did not dare to fight Xuchang when Cao Cao saved Xian Di. In fact, Yuan Shao was an important factor to contain Cao Cao's early activities, thanks to the name Guo Jia. Just safe and sound again and again, like defeating Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and Lu Bu. That time, it was not an attack by the whole army, not a fear of a sneak attack from Yuan Shao's back, but Cao Cao's suspicious character. Without Guo Jia, how could there be Lao Cao, one of the three owls?

However, invincible is always lonely, so Guo Jia also met a difficult opponent, Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a person who is very good at disguising his heart, and many people have been confused about what he is thinking. When I took refuge in Cao Cao, I hid Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the yard to grow vegetables every day. The only time I was invited out by Cao Cao in the imperial court, I stayed in the yard to grow vegetables and plan my way out, but Guo Jia saw me. When Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao, Guo Jia asserted that this man was a twin and would not stay long under Tsao Gong. I should have been more careful, but it was too quiet after Liu Bei came to Cao Cao.

So Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to talk about the hero who cooked wine when he was a child. When Cao Cao said, "Heroes in the world, only chivalrous men make the monarch and Cao Er." You must be familiar with it. Cao Cao told Liu Bei that the only heroes in this world are Liu Shijun and Cao Cao. Liu Bei was so scared that his chopsticks fell off. He immediately asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to save his life. However, I have to admit that since ancient times, anyone who has the ability has been lucky. Suddenly, a muffled thunder saved Liu Bei and made Cao Cao less alert to Liu Bei.

Of course, Guo Jia still didn't trust Liu Bei and advised Cao Cao not to give him any chance to escape. However, people are inferior to the sky. I played Yuan Shu well, but I didn't expect him to slip away. He went north to vote for Yuan Shao. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Bei begged Cao Cao to borrow soldiers to intercept Yuan in the name of his uncle. In the absence of Guo Jia, Cao Cao thought about it and let Liu Bei go. As a result, when Guo Jia came back, the tunnel was not good, and it was too late to send someone to chase him.

Sure enough, Liu Bei got 10 thousand soldiers' armor, went all the way south and took it back to Xuzhou in one fell swoop. It's Cao Jun's turn to panic. Cao Cao intended to win Liu Bei before gaining a firm foothold and enriching his troops, but he was helpless and unstable. People are afraid of being attacked by Yuan Shao. But it's good to have Guo Jia. Guo Jia said, "Yuan Shao is indecisive. It's just that Liu Bei's foothold is not stable, so he can go quickly. " So with this reassurance, Cao Cao marched eastward to defeat Liu Bei and win Guan Yu.

At this time, everything is almost settled, and both sides are ready to fight. But at this time, Cao Cao was about to send his troops to Yanjin. Who knows, here comes another uninvited guest, Sun Ce and Sun Ce, who are very brave and decisive. So when Sun Ce released the news that he wanted to hit Xuchang, Cao Cao really spat out an old blood. In order not to be caught between Scylla and Charybdis, Cao Cao immediately asked Guo Jia for advice. Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Cao Gong. Although Sun Ce has the name of overlord, he doesn't know how to guard against it. Even if millions of troops follow him, it is only one person for us. As long as an assassin kills him, they will immediately retreat. " As Guo Jia expected. As soon as Sun Ce left Jiangdong, he was assassinated by his enemy Xu Gong's minions. However, whether Xu Gong was sent by Guo Jia is not recorded in history, but at least it adds a lot of luster to Guo Jia's SJ.

Finally, Cao Cao finally cleared all obstacles and began to attack Yuan Shao. As early as 198, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, Do you think I can beat Yuan Shao? Guo Jia immediately replied: "Cao Gong beat Yuan Shao, ten wins and ten losses!" This classic masterpiece of ten wins and ten losses comes from this. The ten victories are: Daosheng, Yisheng, Zhisheng, Dusheng, Mousheng, Desheng, Rensheng, Ming Sheng, Wensheng and Vu Thang. In ten wins and ten losses, Guo Jia accurately analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Jun and Yuan.

Cao Caoying Xian Di, he can hold the emperor as a minister, he has the right way to attack Yuan Shao, justified; Therefore, the word morality wins. Yuan Shao is indecisive, boasting, Cao Zhijun is strict, appointing talents, employing people without doubt, decisive and generous; Therefore, the rule of words wins. Coupled with civil servants and military commanders, people's hearts, benevolence and morality. Cao Cao is much taller than Yuan Shao. This is also a fact. Therefore, Guo Jia's theory of "ten wins and ten losses" is as exciting as a super cardiotonic in your mind. These domineering boys firmly believe that Hebei must be theirs.

So, basically as expected, after the white horse, Yanjin, Wu Chao's bedding, a decisive battle Guandu, and finally Cao Cao won. Man proposes, God disposes, but Guo Jia's preemptive strike was a perfect stroke. When pacifying Hebei, Guo Jia did not suggest that Cao Cao pursue the victory, but tried to stop it, and revealed that mutual suspicion between brothers led to their killing each other. This coup also made Cao Cao win the second yuan with no effort, and sat in the Northern Dynasty perfectly.

After pacifying the north, many members of Yuan Shao's team were captured by Cao Cao, but Guo Jia strongly recommended Cao Cao to reuse them, such as Chen Lin who poured dog blood on Cao Cao's head. Cao Cao also listened to Guo Jia and learned his strengths one by one, which laid a solid foundation for the later Great Wei.

You may not be convinced when you say it, but I feel from the bottom of my heart that Guo Jia is indeed the strongest counselor of Wei and the most indispensable helper for Cao Cao to start.

Guo Jia does have a brilliant mind and extraordinary skills in strategy, overall situation and development and construction, and every place has its own unique views. Often can stand up at the most critical moment to help Cao Cao solve the problem. The overall strategic view is to test the requirements of a top command consultant. And Guo Jia is the only one who can stay calm and resourceful at the most dangerous moment. These, like Ye Liu, Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, are all very good, but they may not be able to do this. If there is no battle between Guo Jia and Xuzhou, Xun You may not dissuade Cao Cao from leaving Xia Houdun and Cheng Yu to guard the house; Without Guo Jia and Xian Di, Cheng Yu may not dissuade Cao Cao from welcoming Xian Di as the emperor (but this Yu Xun will persuade Cao Cao); Without Guo Jia, Ye?Liu might not discourage Cao Cao from killing Liu Bei after defeating Lu Bu; Without the battle between Guo Jia and Guandu, Jia Xu would not necessarily give the theory of ten wins and ten losses, and there would not be so many towers. If there are Guo Jia, Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Cao, it is even more impossible to win a series of tricks; If there were no Guo Jia, Cao Cao would have been the king of the world immediately, not to mention the later Prime Minister Cao Or.

In 207 AD, that is, the twelfth year of Jian 'an. Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan was Guo Jia's last battle. Of course, this is also Guo Jia's own request. As a matter of fact, Guo Jia has always been weak, and he was already overworked. Maybe he knew he would die in this battle, but he went on an expedition anyway. Wu Huan, like the later Na Man of Shu or the Xiongnu of the previous dynasty, is a dagger with hidden dangers and can stab Cao Cao in the back at any time. This hidden danger must be solved, besides, the two brothers have gone. At first, Cao Cao wanted to fight, but because of paranoia, he always hesitated. Finally, Guo Jia hurried forward and suggested that Wu Huan be laid at once, leaving an empty rear. Liu Biao will also be afraid to call because he is surrounded by Liu Bei. After departure, on the way to war, Guo Jia felt that the marching speed was too slow, and suggested that Cao Cao lose the capital and raid lightly. This undoubtedly became a famous surprise attack case in China's military history. Unfortunately, it also caused Guo Jia's death.

I don't know why I thought of the Yiling War here. At that time, Liu Bei didn't take Zhuge Liang, and there were 200,000 to 300,000 troops just attacking Dongwu. As a result, he lost everything because of a small barracks. If Guo Jia hadn't followed Cao Cao's personal expedition to Wu Huan at that time, then maybe Guo Jia wouldn't have died of karoshi, but Cao Cao might have been discovered by the enemy in advance because he lost the chance to raid lightly, and then defeated Cao Cao. If Zhuge Liang follows Liu Bei on his expedition to Dongwu, Liu Bei may win, but Zhuge Liang may die.

Fate is like this, there are gains and losses, and there will be many results if there is one. Perhaps in fact, Guo Jia has already seen through his own destiny, but this is fate. If Guo Jia doesn't go, he can survive, but the foundation of Cao Cao is gone, isn't it?

Some people say that Guo Jia is a true saint, comparable to Sean; Some people say that Guo Jia actually has superb skills, which can observe life and predict the sky; Some people say that Guo Jia is really the strongest of the three countries. Zhuge Liang dared not live until he died. Some people say that Guo Jia, like Yu Xun, is very powerful, but not vivid.

To tell you the truth, I really like Guo Jia. It's a pity that Guo Jia is the talent really envied by God. If he doesn't die, the Three Kingdoms may be in Chibi, and there will be no Shu and Wu directly!

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, and Guo Jia's life is not perfect. He has two main shortcomings. The first and most important one is his short life. Although it seems a little funny, it is true that if Guo Jia had not died so early, the Three Kingdoms might have been able to tell who was the smartest guy, so Sima Yi in the later period would have no problem.

The second one is more normal. Guo Jia, who was not thrifty at ordinary times, was a dissident with strict style and behavior in running the army at that time. In the early days, many people participated in Guo Jia privately, such as Chen Qun, and talked directly in public. Although Cao Cao praised Chen Qun for exposing meritorious deeds, he completely ignored Guo Jia. Some people also commented on this. Fortunately, Cao Cao regarded Guo Jia as his confidant, otherwise a generation of geniuses might have died. A good talent meets a wise master, and a good horse meets Bole, that's all.

I want to say a word: "The so-called jealousy is like this, so I can get over it."

A junior high school student doesn't like to brag about his views on history, and nothing else.
