A reader commented to me that there were a lot of amazing strategists in the Three Kingdoms, so why did he choose Guo Jia? Let me explain here, because Guo Jia is very cool and mysterious. He died very young, and the Internet is also boasting about him, haha.
Let's list the rankings below so that readers who are not too clear about it can have a general idea.
By the way, thank you for your support! Work hard to update in return
——
——
Tenth place: Xu Shu
Those who had seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms would have a deep impression of this scene. Liu Bei appointed Xu Shu as the military counselor in Xinye, defeating the strong with the weak, helping Liu Bei win against the Cao army and defeating the famous Cao Ren. Military survival had won Liu Bei a place to live. Xu Shu's talent was comparable to Zhuge Liang's. Cao Cao's great advisor, Cheng Yu, modestly said that Xu Shu's talent was ten times his own. Cao Cao understood that Xu Shu was a filial person. He brought his mother to Xudu and imitated Xu Shu's mother's handwriting to trick Xu Shu into coming to Xudu. As a result, Xu Shu's mother committed suicide. Xu Shu was depressed and unable to show his talent. He was buried in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Xu Shu's outcome was a pity. Cao Cao was truly thirsty for talents. What was heartbreaking was that he did not do anything after that, as if he was far away from the Three Kingdoms era, contrary to Cao Cao's original intention. His talent also slowly disappeared like running water.
9th place: Ju Shou
Yuan Shao's chief strategist, but Ju Shou's talent did not seem to have been put to use. He himself became Cao Cao's prisoner after Guandu Station. Of course, all of this could not be blamed on him, because he followed Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was not without talent. He had grown from a governor of the Bohai Sea to the largest military group in the north in a few years. It was not something that an ordinary person could do, but he had a biggest weakness: 'Good at scheming and indecision-making', unable to make the right decision at the most critical moment. Before Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Ju Shou had suggested to Yuan Shao the correct idea of "cooperating with the emperor to command the vassals". At the same time, he also warned Yuan Shao not to use favoritism, but it had no effect. Yan Liang couldn't take on the responsibility alone. He couldn't adopt a series of correct suggestions such as the long-term strategy for the decisive battle of Guandu. It could be said that Ju Shou's fate was tragic. A talented person like him not only failed to assist the wise ruler to dominate the world, but also accompanied his life. It was really a sigh. Standing on the wrong team was the main reason for his low ranking.
Eighth: Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang was from Yangdu, Langye. He moved to Xiangyang at the age of seventeen. He was very confident and often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. At the age of twenty-seven, he was indebted to Liu Bei for visiting the thatched cottage three times to assist Liu Bei. Liu Bei was overjoyed to receive him and said,"I have Zhuge Liang, just like a fish has water." When he first met Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang had proposed a three-pronged strategy to cross Jing and Yi and ally with Sun Quan to wait for changes in the world, pointing out the direction for Liu Bei's hegemony.
Soon after, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang went to Dongwu. His analysis dispelled Sun Quan's doubts. The Sun Liu alliance was officially formed and successfully completed the mission. The Sun Liu alliance won the Battle of Red Cliff. Later, Liu Bei pacified Jingzhou and appointed him as the commander of the army, commanding Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha. Liu Bei and Pang Tong entered Shu. After Pang Tong died, he lacked military strength. He transferred Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and others to pacify the prefectures and counties. Later, they surrounded Chengdu and were promoted to military division generals. For a long time, he guarded Chengdu, responsible for the management of the country and the dispatch of the rear. He strongly supported Liu Bei on the front line to win the Battle of Hanzhong. Later, he persuaded Liu Bei to ascend the throne and was granted the title of Prime Minister. After that, Liu Bei launched a war against Wu and was defeated by Lu Xun. It was worth mentioning that Zhuge Liang did not advise against attacking Wu. The main reason was probably that he had the strategic concept of Jing and Yi. However, Guan Yu's carelessness and the failure of Liu Bei's elite troops forced him to revise his strategic route and once again unite with Wu. Since then, he had taken control of the military and political power of Shu. The southern expedition Meng Huo was the most important, and he had effectively consolidated the stability of the rear. After that, the northern expedition several times did not achieve the desired effect. At the age of fifty-four, he died of illness on the way to the north and was buried in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong.
Zhuge Liang had failed several times in his northern expeditions. Most of the reason was that Shu was not as strong as Wei, and his military talent had not been maximized. As Jia Xu said, Zhuge Liang was good at governing the country and became prime minister, while Guan Zhang and others were brave and became generals. From Liu Bei's ability to judge people and use Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the country was higher than his military ability. The Annals of the Three Kingdoms also commented that Zhuge Liang was a prime minister, who could be said to be a good talent in governing the country, and was inferior to Guan Yu and Xiao Yu. However, he has been mobilizing the masses for years without success. This is probably because he is not good at adapting to the situation and strategy. However, judging from the way he killed Wang Shuang and Zhang He, as well as Sima Yi's evaluation of him as a genius in the world, his military ability was also top-notch. Zhuge Liang's talent was very comprehensive. He was good at ingenuity. He added and removed crossbows, wooden oxen, and horses. Deducing the art of war, making eight Chen Tu, all got its essence, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms deified him trapped in the array of Wu general Lu Xun; He also wrote 24 books.
Zhuge Liang was an all-rounder and a genius. However, Zhuge Liang's character of seeking perfection had both positive and negative effects. In the later stages of Shu, the situation where there was no general in Shu and Liao Hua became the vanguard had a lot to do with him. Wei Yan was good at stratagem, but Zhuge Liang took advantage of his weakness of "not willing to be subordinate" and appointed Wei Yan but did not put him in an important position. Li Yan had some problems escorting the grain and fodder, so Zhuge Liang dismissed him and sent him back to the fields. Ma Su was talented. During the southern expedition, he proposed the strategy of " fighting with soldiers is the most important, attacking the heart is the most important ". He could become an excellent counselor. However, Zhuge Liang let him guard Jieting as a general. Later, he killed Ma Su when he lacked talents. In fact, Zhuge Liang was better at working under a wise ruler like Liu Bei. After he took power, he had a lot of shortcomings in his employment. Looking at his employment, he was too cautious and strict with his subordinates, making these people work carefully under him. As time passed, these people would only listen to orders and not be able to play. Moreover, Zhuge Liang was wasting his talent by doing everything himself, and to a certain extent, he suppressed the ability and enthusiasm of others. Back in Xinye, he had worked with Xu Shu for a period of time. After Cao Cao obtained Xu Shu's mother, he did not force Xu Shu to leave. It was understandable for him to be filial to his mother, but what happened next was a little unreasonable: Liu Feng was Liu Bei's adopted son and was very talented. The history books recorded that he was brave and powerful. He pacified the prefectures and counties, conquered Shangyong and other places, and was a rare young and outstanding general. He was many times stronger than Liu Chan. However, Liu Feng was in an awkward position. He made a mistake not to save Guan Yu, but Meng Da's rebellion and the battle with the Wei army showed that he was still loyal to Liu Bei. After Liu Feng was defeated and returned to Chengdu, Zhuge Liang thought that he was tough and fierce. After Liu Bei died, no one could cure him. Peng Yang was a very talented person. He was recognized by Pang Tong and appreciated by Liu Bei. After he pacified Chengdu, he was promoted to be a member of the government. However, he was arrogant and even more so after he ascended to a high position. He offended Zhuge Liang, who immediately advised him to demote him to a local prefect. Peng Yang was somewhat dissatisfied and complained to Ma Chao after drinking. In the end, Ma Chao reported to Liu Bei and imprisoned Peng Yang. After Peng Yang sobered up, he was very regretful. He wrote a very long letter of apology to Zhuge Liang, saying that he had received Liu Bei's kindness and could not repay it. He was definitely not going to rebel as Ma Chao said. He also solemnly apologized to Zhuge Liang, expressing that he would repent and turn over a new leaf. He asked Zhuge Liang to speak to Liu Bei on his behalf. Logically speaking, Zhuge Liang should have seriously considered it. Perhaps Zhuge Liang had a bad impression of Peng Yang and advised Liu Bei to kill Peng Yang in prison…Of course, no one was perfect. Zhuge Liang had a certain flaw in his character, but he had always been praised by people. There were too many things that people admired, learned, and respected about him, making his heroic name go down in history.
In fact, Zhuge Liang had left behind a glorious image of "giving his all and dying". During his reign, he did his best to assist and personally made an indelible contribution to the Shu Han regime. He was loved by the people and even respected by his opponents. For thousands of years, he had been regarded as a synonym for wisdom, and this image lived in everyone's hearts. There was no lack of talented people in the past dynasties. However, no matter how great their contributions and talents were, Zhuge Liang was above them and became an irreplaceable manifestation of wisdom.
Zhuge Liang was ranked first. Just his fame alone was enough. Like Guan Yu, he had already been deified. The others could only suffer a little. After all, humans could not be compared to gods.
Seventh place: Xun You
Xun You was one of Cao Cao's most important strategists. It could be said that Xun You's position and role in Cao Cao's strategist group were unique. Xun? After recommending Xun You, Cao Cao immediately summoned Xun You and asked him to come over.、Zhong Yao said,"Gongda is not an ordinary man. If I can discuss matters with him, what will the world worry about?”Xun You started off as a prefect and was later promoted to the position of Minister of State. Later, Cao Cao appointed him as a military adviser and made plans around him. Shen You is deep and resourceful. Since Taizu's expedition, he has been planning strategies. At that time, people and his children did not know what he said. Taizu often praised him, saying,"Gongda is foolish on the outside but wise on the inside, timid on the outside but brave on the inside, weak on the outside but strong on the inside, does not attack the good, does not exert himself, is wise but stupid, even Yan Zi and Ning Wu cannot surpass him."”In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed by Guan Yu, which highlighted Guan Yu's bravery. In fact, these two people were killed after being defeated by Xun You. Cao Cao captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, and defeated Yuan Shao, all of which were planned by Xun You. Before Cao Cao was defeated by Zhang Xiu, Xun You said to Taizu: "Liu Xiu and Liu Biao rely on each other for strength, but Liu Xiu relies on Liu Biao for food as a wandering army. Liu Biao cannot provide for him, so he will certainly leave. It is better to slow down the army and wait for the enemy to arrive, so that we can lure them to come. If we are in a hurry, he will definitely save us." After Cao Cao was defeated, he apologized to Xun You.
Xun You was known as Cao Cao's "mastermind" in the army. He had contributed a total of twelve wonderful strategies and made great contributions to Cao Cao's unification of the north. Xun You didn't oppose Cao Cao as the King of Wei like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Instead, he became Cao Cao's number one adviser and was appointed as the Shangshu Ling. After Xun You's death, Cao Cao cried bitterly at the mention of Xun You, which showed how important this 'mastermind' was to him. He played well and got this ranking.
Sixth place: Lu Su
Perhaps Lu Su had the image of a loyal elder when mentioned. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su was portrayed as an honest gentleman, and his talent was not shown enough. Lu Su's family was rich and he was close to Zhou Yu. Yuan Shu wanted to use Lu Su, but Lu Su saw that Yuan Shu had no discipline and was not worthy of working with him, so he moved to Juchao and later followed Sun Quan. Sun Quan and Lu Su's first conversation was very harmonious. When discussing the world's major affairs, Lu Su immediately displayed his superior strategic vision: He advised Sun Quan to annex Huang Zu, attack Liu Biao, defend the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, and stand in the east of the Yangtze River to observe the situation of the world. Sun Quan was extremely impressed. At that time, Zhang Zhao, the number one advisor, advised Sun Quan not to put Lu Su in an important position because he was young and careless. Sun Quan did not mind.
After Liu Biao's death, Lu Su proposed to ally with Liu to resist Cao Cao and personally went to Jingzhou. He achieved the desired results and created the prerequisites for the victory of the Battle of Red Cliff. Under Cao Cao's powerful pressure, Sun Quan was hesitant about whether to fight or surrender. Lu Su stood against the crowd, causing Sun Quan to sigh, Now you open up a big plan, just like me, this is God's gift to me. After defeating Cao Cao, Lu Su returned. Sun Quan dismounted from his saddle to show his respect for Lu Su. After the victory of the Battle of Red Cliff, it was Lu Su who stood against all opposition and took the overall situation into consideration to persuade Sun Quan to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei. At that time, it was undoubtedly the correct decision. Zhou Yu had a long-term plan to annex Zhang Lu and then Jingzhou, but this seemed unlikely. Liu Bei would never let Wu suppress his living space. Moreover, it went against the overall situation of Sun Liu's alliance. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su took over his position. However, Liu Bei had borrowed Jingzhou and refused to return it, angering Sun Quan. The two sides had almost fought each other. Lu Su tried his best to maintain the situation and fought with Guan Yu. "The state has lent you land," said Wang Su,"but your army has been defeated and has come from afar. There is no reason for you to do so. Now that Yizhou has been captured, there is no intention of returning it to the court, but I want to ask for three prefectures, but I don't agree.”Guan Yu was speechless. He was not scared out of his wits like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which simply lowered Lu Su's image.
Lu Su died young at the age of forty-six without giving any reason. Sun Quan mourned for him. Later on, Wu lost Lu Su, who was focused on peace, and Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou. However, he also broke through the fortress of Sun Liu, which directly accelerated the destruction of Shu and Wu.
Lu Su is truly a talent who knows the world's major events
Fifth place: Pang Tong
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were equally famous. In fact, this was not an exaggeration. Perhaps Pang Tong's ranking was a little low, and perhaps he was more capable than Zhuge Liang in assisting Liu Bei in his conquest. However, the impression Pang Tong left on us was too short. From the time he defected to Liu Bei to his death in Luo County, it was only a few short years. His talent had not been fully demonstrated. Pang Tong started to be the Lord of Duty. With his talent, this was a piece of cake. Pang Tong's reputation spread far and wide. After Zhou Yu's death, he sent his funeral to the State of Wu. As for the nobles of the State of Wu, it showed that he was indeed ambitious and talented. After joining Liu Bei, he became a county magistrate. Later, he was recommended by Lu Su and Zhuge Liang to be put in an important position. His personal treatment was second only to Zhuge Liang. Later, he followed Liu Bei into Yizhou. With Liu Bei's ability to judge people, it was obvious that his military ability was above Zhuge Liang's. Pang Tong, as one of Liu Bei's two strategists, died at the age of thirty-six. Liu Bei was very sad and wept when he spoke.
Just like Guo Jia, he died a little too early.
Fourth place: Sima Yi
People who liked Zhuge Liang knew Sima Yi because they were enemies in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. Sima Yi was somewhat similar to Cao Cao. They both took over the power of a dynasty and let their sons complete the hegemony. This made him the founder of a dynasty. Just like Zhuge Liang, his talent was recognized. Cao Cao saw that he had ambitions and only gave him the position of " literary assistant." Sima Yi was put in an important position during Cao Pi's time and was famous for a while, but he was still under Cao Pi's control. Cao Rui was an understanding emperor. He dismissed him and returned him to the fields, but he still had no choice but to use him later. The capture of Meng Da and the smart earning of Cao Shuang showed Sima Yi's foresight. After pacifying Liaodong and dealing with Zhuge Liang, he firmly controlled the military power, which not only increased his own achievements, but also increased his power, laying the foundation for his future power. Of course, Sima Yi was undoubtedly very resourceful. In Hanzhong, he advised Cao Cao to take down Liu Bei, who had yet to stabilize his footing, but Cao Cao did not take his advice. After Guan Yu was defeated by Jin, he persuaded Cao Cao to give up on the idea of moving the capital. He successfully used the conflict between Sun and Liu to defeat Guan Yu, allowing Cao Cao to obtain the greatest victory. This was because Cao Cao not only reversed the situation, but also provoked the conflict between the other two families, directly speeding up the pace of the unification of the three countries. Ambitious strategists were not really strategists. They were actually like Wei Wu. If he had no ambition, he would probably be ranked behind Xun You.
Third place: Jia Xu (I like it)
From the beginning to the end of the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu was active in different situations. He began to work under Dong Zhuo. Later, he advised Li Cui and others to enter Luoyang, causing the capital to suffer from war. Jia Xu blamed himself. Later, he assisted Zhang Xiu against Cao Cao and obtained a partial victory. His judgment of the outcome of the pursuit of Cao Cao was especially amazing. Because his opponent was also Cao Cao, who was also extremely intelligent, Jia Xu's strategy was even more superior. During the battle of Guandu, he had strongly advised Zhang Xiu to join Cao Cao. His analysis was reasonable, and Cao Cao had indeed treated Zhang Xiu well. He paid special attention to Jia Xu and conferred him the title of Guardian of Gold. From then on, Jia Xu had become one of Cao Cao's most important and trusted advisors. Cao Cao was almost obedient to Jia Xu. The only time he did not listen to advice was during the Battle of Red Cliff: In the 13th year of Jian 'an, Taizu captured Jingzhou and wanted to go east along the river. Xu Xu remonstrated, saying,"You have defeated the Yuan family, and now you have conquered Hannan. Your reputation is far and wide, and your army is strong. If we take advantage of the rich land of the old Chu State to reward the officials and soldiers, appease the people, and make the soldiers happy and happy, we can make the people of Jiangdong submit without labor.”Cao Cao did not obey, and he suffered heavy losses. He lost the opportunity to unify the world. The warhorses had managed to achieve their goal of splitting up the enemy.
Jia Xu was the most important strategist in the later period of Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao and Cao Pi trusted him greatly. When it came to the matter of appointing the crown prince of Wei, he cleverly cited the examples of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao to achieve the goal of appointing Cao Pi as the heir. Although Jia Xu was Cao Pi's confidant, appointing Cao Pi was indeed the appropriate choice at that time. After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he was naturally extremely grateful to Jia Xu and immediately made him Grand Marshal, one of the three dukes. In the later stages, he had also come up with many strategies for Cao Pi and became a veteran of the Wei Kingdom.
It could be said that Jia Xu's scheming of others, himself, and the world had all reached a very high level. After Jia Xu was conferred the title of three dukes, he did not show off at all. Instead, he was wise to protect himself and did not make friends with dignitaries. Cao Pi was a sinister and vicious person. Even his uncle Cao Hong had to be executed. Jia Xu's action was very wise at that time. Among the high-level strategists of Wei, Jia Xu had started well and ended well, preventing the tragedy from happening.
A real strategist, like Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty.
Second place: Xun? (I like it)
Xun? He was born in a very famous family in Yingchuan. He was elegant and graceful. When he was young, he was already famous.，A long time ago? Wang Zuocai gave his evaluation. Xun? First from Yuan Shao, seeing that he could not succeed, he immediately joined Cao Cao. He was overjoyed and called him "My Mother."
Xun? As Cao Cao's number one strategist, no one could surpass him in terms of status, role, or contribution. His contributions to Cao Cao were uncountable. First of all, he was famous all over the world and influenced a large number of resourceful people to work for Cao Cao. He showed his superior vision and recommended the most important strategists in Cao Cao's early days, including Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, and Sima Yi. At the same time, Xun? He also relied on his high moral demeanor to convince others. He was modest, humble, and devoted to the public. Zhong Yao, a famous counselor, replied to Xun. He admired him to the point of prostrating himself on the ground and called him Yan Yuan's rebirth. The so-called ability to prepare for the nine virtues, not to second guess its fault, only Xun? Yes. Sima Yi didn't shy away from flattery and thought," For more than a hundred years, no one could compare with Xun Lingjun.
Xun? It was really difficult to describe his talent: He had been Cao Cao's six outlandish plans, and there were countless others. Cao Cao was almost obedient to him." To consolidate the foundation to fight for the world, to control the vassals with the Son of Heaven, to destroy Lu Bu first and then Yuan Shao, to persuade Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shao with four victories and four defeats, to hold fast in the battle of Guandu and wait for the enemy to change, and to pacify Hebei after victory to prevent the two Yuan from developing into a climate. Yin comes out of Yang, and Ye forces Liu Cong to surrender." These plans were very long-term strategic visions, and they all moved the whole body with one move. It would have a profound impact on the future situation. Some of his suggestions were rejected by Cao Cao. It could be said that Cao Cao developed from a weak independent force to a military group that competed with Yuan Shao, and then became the ruler of the north. They were closely related. In such a complicated situation, Cao Cao was always in danger of losing everything. Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan all had the possibility of winning the world, but why did they lose and Cao Cao win? Just because Cao Cao could adopt Xun? Correct opinion, according to Xun? The strategic planning is moving towards success step by step. The situation during this period is complicated and changeable. Any plan is not inferior to Zhuge Liang's theory of dividing the world into three parts. The depth of his thoughts and vision was not something that others could replace. Just as Cao Cao said,"The Minister of Justice Xun?"，He has accumulated virtue and done many things. He has no regrets when he is young and old. When he encounters the turmoil of the world, he is loyal and wants to govern the country. From the beginning, I raised an army with you and traveled around to attack. They worked together, assisted the king, and gave advice to the king.? The achievements of the minister, by the minister to help, with the clouds, bright moon.……The stability of the world? It's your credit. The general idea of this passage is to follow Xun? The reason why I can pacify the world is all because of Xun. The credit. Of course, Cao Cao's words were exaggerated, but there was nothing false. It was rare for Cao Cao, the ruler, to have such a heart.
Cao Cao called Xun? Most of the time, Cao Cao was on an expedition outside. Guarding the rear, managing the court, managing the military rations and personnel, exercising power on behalf of Cao Cao, and managing many things, this was very similar to Xiao He. However, this did not stop him from giving Cao Cao advice. "In the midst of strategizing, victory is thousands of miles away" is Zhang Liang's credit, but also Xun? His style, could it be said, Xun? With Zhang Liang and Xiao He's talents combined, he was indeed a "rare" talent. Due to various reasons, Zhuge Liang's status could not be surpassed, so he was ranked second. But Xun? Blocking Cao Cao from becoming the Duke of Wei, no matter what his considerations were, he violated Cao Cao's taboo. Because Cao Cao was eager to usurp the power of the Han Emperor, he considered toppling Xun. He had a special position in Cao Cao's camp. If he did not defeat him, it was estimated that Cao Cao would not be able to get his wish, resulting in Xun? A tragedy that did not end well. Unfortunately, Xun? Such a great talent with both virtue and ability was like a meteor far away in the sky, unable to shine through the ages like Zhang Liang.
Cao Gong's most important subordinates, such as Du Ruhui of the Tang Dynasty, had displayed their greatest abilities, so they were ranked high and had first-class character. He was as important as Li Si, Xiao He, Du Ruhui, Li Shanchang, Zhao Pu, and Fan Wencheng. He was probably not as smart as Wei Liao, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, and Liu Bowen, but extremely smart people often could not establish such achievements.
1st place: Guo Jia
Cao Cao was very familiar with the way of employing people. He once said a very reasonable sentence,"Great talents do not care about trifles", and Guo Jia was such a "great talent" who did not care about trifles. Guo Jia's behavior was usually more indulgent. Chen Qun had " reported " to Cao Cao many times. While Cao Cao rewarded Chen Qun, not only did he not punish Guo Jia, but he even put him in an important position. The facts proved that Guo Jia did not disappoint Cao Cao's expectations. In his later military career, Guo Jia repeatedly came up with strange plans to help Cao Cao fight for the world and pacify the north. Guo Jia's talent was very high. When he transferred from Yuan Shao to Cao Cao, Cao Cao discussed world affairs with him. He said,"It must be this man who makes me succeed.”
" Jia Shen Tong has a plan and is good at doing things." This was the evaluation in the annals of the Three Kingdoms. Indeed, Guo Jia had a sharp mind and was very insightful. In particular, his analysis of the situation and the motives of the people at that time was quite accurate. He regarded Sun Ce, the Tiger of River East, as a " one-man enemy ". Sun Ce had indeed died at the hands of an assassin, and his judgment was as accurate as a god's help. After Yuan Shao's death, the two Yuan brothers still had some strength. Guo Jia suggested," If you are anxious, you will be at a stalemate with each other. If you are slow, you will have the heart to fight. It is better to go south to Jingzhou, such as attacking Liu Biao, and wait for the enemy to change. After the formation of the enemy, we can attack them at one stroke. As well as Liu Biao's words to Liu Bei," I'm afraid you can't control him if you take him seriously, and you can't use him if you take him lightly." These facts all confirmed Guo Jia's foresight. After pacifying Hebei, he advised Cao Cao to attack lightly and completely eliminate the ethnic minorities in the north. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in order to show Guo Jia, there was also a " plan to settle Liaodong ". In fact, this was Cao Cao's own plan, but it was also more in line with Guo Jia's characteristics of thinking.
Guo Jia died of illness at the age of thirty-eight. It's hard to follow filial piety and understand my heart. He was grooming him as his successor. As recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, when he was at his funeral, he was very sad and said to Xun You and others: "All of you are orphans, but you have the least filial piety. After the end of the world, I want to entrust the future to him, but in the middle of the year, the sky is broken, this is fate!”"It has been eleven years since Guo Jia, the Vice-Chancellor of the Army, began his campaign. Every time there is a big discussion, the enemy will change. I have no idea what to do, but Wang Jia will do it. To pacify the world, strategy and merit are the highest. After the defeat of Red Cliff, Cao Cao said: Guo Fengxiao is still alive, he did not let me come here. It could be seen that in the depths of Cao Cao's heart, he really missed Guo Jia's early death.
