Guo Jia (170-207) was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao served as a counselor, and the official to the strategist offered wine to celebrate the pavilion. Later, Cao Cao conquered Wuwan and died at the age of 38. Shi Yue Hou Zhen.

Guo Jia was an outstanding counselor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. First, he advised Yuan Shao's army to be under siege. Later, he found it difficult for Yuan Shao to achieve great things, so he took refuge in Cao Cao and made great contributions to Cao Cao's unification of northern China. History books called him "a talented and resourceful man", and Cao Cao praised him for his knowledge and his "Zuo Qi".

The three countries compete for the hero, and heroes come forth in large numbers. For heroes of all walks of life, it is very important to have a brilliant counselor. As we all know, as soon as Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Liu Bei's luck changed, from the embarrassing state of relying on others to success, and finally established the foundation. On the contrary, Cao Cao Group began to decline because of a person's early death, which eventually led to the failure of Cao Cao's ideal of unifying China. Mao Zedong once praised this man, saying that he was "brilliant, resourceful, resourceful and accomplished". He was Guo Jia, the core figure of Cao Cao's early military think tank. Guo Jia is Cao Cao's favorite and most effective counselor, and he can be called Cao Cao's first counselor. Cao Cao has said many times that he will entrust his son to Guo Jia after a hundred years. It's a pity that Guo Jia died young, otherwise the aura he left in the historical sky can definitely be compared with Zhuge Liang.

Life:

Weak crown, seclusion, insight and knowledge of the Lord

Guo Jia was born in Yingchuan, which is today's Dengfeng area in Henan. This place was the largest talent pool during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, 67 of the 10 counselors who gave advice to various heroes came from here. As a teenager, Guo Jia showed extraordinary wisdom. He likes to talk to his elders, and often has original opinions, which often makes them feel ashamed. On one occasion, a warlock from other places was amazed when he saw Guo Jia Jr., saying that this boy was reincarnated as Jiang Ziya squire. From then on, Guo Jia had a nickname-"Little Taigong". Time flies, Guo Jia, who has read many poems, has grown up in an instant. He is thin and handsome, with clear and deep eyes. This "little squire" is confident and lofty, likes freedom and is very picky about making friends. He only associates with people with lofty ideals in his mind. But he is sincere and enthusiastic about his friends and likes to drink and chat all night. At the age of 2 1, Guo Jia went to Yuan Shao's account at the instigation of his good friend Tian Feng and others. Yuan Shao was called "the hero of the world" at that time. He treated Guo Jia and others with great respect and courtesy. But after a few days, Guo Jia saw that Yuan Shao didn't know how to choose people and didn't want to achieve great things. So, Guo Jia resolutely left Yuan. Guo Jia left Yuan Shao at the best time, which requires not only great courage, but also extraordinary vision. In this way, Guo Jia idle for six years. In A.D. 196, Cao Cao's highly admired counselor and dramatist died. Cao Cao was very sad, so he wrote to Yu Xun, asking him to recommend a counselor to replace this talented playwright. So Yu Xun recommended his friend Guo Jia to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed to meet Li Li and discuss world affairs with Guo Jia in the village. This meeting is no less important than the later "Longzhong Dui". Guo Jia is younger than Cao Cao, but he seems to know Cao Cao's lofty aspirations like the back of his hand. Cao Cao asked Guo Jia the timing of the world, and Guo Jia hit the nail on the head. Cao Cao borrowed Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan and destroy Lu Bu first. This will not only enable Cao Jun to expand its own strength, but also prevent Lu Bu from threatening Cao Jun from the flank in the future decisive battle between Cao Yuan and Cao Yuan. Cao Cao also asked Guo Jia, as a counselor, what is the most critical quality? Guo Jia said that war is like chess. No war is planned in advance. Reading the Art of War is just the beginning. The strength and weakness of a strategist lies in improvisation. Guo Jia's clear and thorough analysis showed Cao Cao a bright future. After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed, "It must be this person who made orphans become great things. After leaving the camp, Guo Jia was overjoyed and said, "What a master." From then on, Guo Jia became the military attache of Cao Cao's staff-the army offering wine, making suggestions for Cao Cao's four-way campaign and serving him faithfully.

Clever calculations have repeatedly made wonders.

At that time, the princes of all walks of life were divided and had no ambition to swallow the four seas. In this case, Guo Jia's accurate judgment of the opponent's psychological state often becomes the key to Cao Cao's victory. 197, when Cao Cao was worried that he could not compete with Yuan Shao, Guo Jia put forward the famous theory of "ten wins and ten losses". He cited ten reasons one after another to prove that "the public wins ten times and loses ten times less." Guo Jia's analysis is very convincing, which not only inspired the morale of Cao Jun soldiers, but also helped Cao Cao to set long-term and short-term operational goals. At the same time, Guo Jia also formally established his core position in Cao Cao's military intelligence corps. 198 September, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's plan and sent troops to attack Lu Bu who lived in Xuzhou. Cao Jun first defeated Cheng Peng, then defeated Lu Bu, and finally besieged Li Shiqi. Lu bu can't hold on. The battle lasted for half a year, and Cao Cao saw that the soldiers were tired and ready to give up. At this time, Guo Jia saw the victory. Taking Xiang Yu as an example, he remonstrated with Cao Cao, and put forward the view that "those who are brave and have no plans will do their best and will soon fail" and advised Cao Cao to attack urgently. Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's plan, attacking the city and breaking the dike to cover Xing. Sure enough, in the same year, Xing was captured and Lu Bu was captured. Generally speaking, Cao Cao is obedient to Guo Jia. But only once, he didn't listen to Guo Jia's advice, and as a result, he made an irreparable mistake, that is, he released Liu Bei at 199. After Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao, everyone suggested killing him at first to avoid future trouble. Only Guo Jia agreed with Cao Cao that Liu Bei could not be killed. Guo Jia's original intention was to let Cao Cao put Liu Bei under house arrest. Because if you kill Liu Bei, it will inevitably bring bad influence to Cao Cao and cut off the road of talent. Although you can't kill it, you must not let it go. But Cao Cao's little knowledge of Guo Jia's meaning led to a big mistake. After Cao Liu boiled wine and talked about heroes, Liu Bei was worried about Cao Cao's suspicion and wanted to wait for an opportunity to get out of Cao Cao's control. Liu Bei pretended to take advantage of Yuan Shu's rout and asked Cao Cao to intercept him. At this time, Guo Jia was not around, and Cao Cao agreed to Liu Bei's request. When Guo Jia came back, he immediately said, "Don't leave anything behind." Cao Cao regretted it at that time, and immediately sent someone to chase it, but it was too late. Sure enough, Liu Bei later lived in Xuzhou and began to fight Cao Cao.

The battle of Guandu shines brilliantly.

Yi Zhongtian mentioned Guo Jia in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

For 200 years, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao were at loggerheads in Guandu. Cao Cao was worried about Liu Bei's sudden attack and stabbed him in the back. It is difficult to deal with the strong enemy ahead. Cao Canjun divided his troops to meet Liu Bei? Guo Jia just said "yes", and before that. Guo Jia said, "Yuan Shao has always been indecisive and won't react quickly. Liu Beixin has not returned, and his foothold is unstable. He must attack it quickly. He is sure to fail. Then return to Li to deal with Yuan Shao. This is the best opportunity to be attacked by both sides and must not be lost. " So Cao Cao conquered Liu Bei, captured Liu Bei's wife and captured Guan Yu. As Guo Jia expected, Liu Bei was defeated before Yuan Shao could react. Also when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were at loggerheads in Guandu, there was a disturbing news that Sun Ce, the hero of Cao Cao's Jiangdong, was going to send troops to attack Cao Cao's base in Xudu. At that time, Sun Ce Xiao Yong's reputation for being brave and good at fighting resounded throughout the Central Plains. He is a brave man, completely inheriting the aggressive temperament of his father Sun Jian. Previously, in the fertile Jiangdong, he laid a solid foundation in one fell swoop by attacking from all sides with invincible momentum. Cao Cao, who was already at a disadvantage in the stalemate with Yuan Shao, could not spare more troops to defend Xu Du. Once Xu Du falls, Cao Cao's camp will immediately fall apart. This is the most turbulent period of Cao Cao's camp, and many people began to secretly flatter Yuan Shao, ready to leave a way out for themselves. At that time, there were many private correspondence between Cao Jun and Yuan Shao. After the Battle of Guandu, many Han bamboo slips were found in Yuanying. At this critical juncture, Guo Jia actually put forward an incredible opinion: "Gong Ming Cao Cao doesn't need to take out his troops to defend Xudu, because Sun Ce can't come." Guo Jia said, "Sun Ce just annexed Jiangdong and killed all the heroes. And Sun Ce himself is reckless defense. Although he has millions of people, he is no different from a loner. I think he must have died at the hands of an assassin. " Later, because of the revenge of three assassins, Sun Ce was killed by a poisoned arrow. This may be a coincidence, but it does add to Guo Jia's ingenuity. In 2003, Yuan Shao, who was defeated in the battle of Guandu, died of illness. Cao Cao attacked his second son, winning Lien Chan and winning Lien Chan. Jun people want to attack the Second Yuan, but at this time, Guo Jia, who had argued for the northward advance, pushed his way through the crowd, found a new way and suggested withdrawing troops. He analyzed the contradiction between the two brothers. "Yuan Tan is the eldest son of Yuan Shao's two sons, but Yuan Shao prefers Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao has been hesitant about who to give the throne to, so that he hastily decided to let his third son, Yuan Shang, succeed at the right time. Yuan Tan, the eldest son, has been dissatisfied with this. If we attack, they will certainly fight side by side. If we suspend the use of troops, they will definitely break out. " Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao feint Liu Biao south and "wait for it to change". Sure enough, the news that Jun just returned to Xuchang has come. Cao Cao took the opportunity to return to the north, split Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in two, and Yuan Yi escaped. Thanks to Guo Jia's clever plan, the battle was won easily and smoothly.

Conquering the envy of Wu Huan

In 2007, Yuan Shang fled to the Fifth Ring Road, which is now Jinzhou, Liaoning. General Cao Jun said, "Yuan Shang has become a lost dog, and the Hu people will not support them. If we make another expedition, Liu Bei will inevitably provoke Liu Biao to attack Xuchang. What if there are any variables? " At this time, after several years of recuperation, Liu Bei has accumulated considerable strength in Jingzhou beside Liu Biao. Based on Cao Cao's understanding of Liu Bei, he has reason to worry that Liu Bei will sneak attack behind his back when he is on a solo expedition. At this time, Guo Jia put forward different opinions from others. "You can rest assured to expedition, leaving an empty xu is just as well. I assume that Liu Bei can't give you any trouble. It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to add, but that someone will stop him instead of you. This person is Liu Biao. " Amid all the noise, Guo Jia made a detailed analysis of the feasibility and significance of the Pingwu Huan War. "The conference semifinals self-reliance remote, now will be unguarded. If they attack suddenly, they will be wiped out. Yuan Shao is kind to the conference semifinals. If Yuan Shang were still alive, they would certainly help. Sooner or later, it will become a hidden danger. Now Yuan Jia's influence is still great. At this time, if the conference semifinals take action, our rear will not be stable. However, Liu Biao is a politician who only knows how to talk big. He knows that his ability is not enough to control Liu Bei, so he must guard against Liu Bei. Although it is now a virtual country expedition, once and for all, there will be no future trouble. " Guo Jia's point of view hit the nail on the head, and Cao Cao immediately sent troops to Liaodong. Cao Jun raided Wuhuan, Bailangshan, and captured more than 200,000 people. Desperate Yuan Shang defected to Xiangping Gongsun Kang. When Cao Cao Jun arrived in Yicheng, Guo Jia felt that the speed of advancement was still too slow, so he suggested, "The soldiers are expensive and fast. Now the potential expedition, with too many burdens and too slow progress, will inevitably be guarded by the other side. It is better to leave the trench, travel light and attack it unprepared. " Later, this war became a classic example in the history of China War, in which "the soldiers were swift and the raiders won". After setting up some illusions of withdrawing troops, Cao Cao secretly led a lightly armed elite, and under the guidance of a guide, suddenly appeared behind the kicking King Wu Huan. Sergeant Wu Huan was caught off guard, and the chief tower shield was also killed. The road conditions of this March were extremely bad, with drought and water shortage of 200 miles along the way. When the food ran out, the soldiers in Cao Jun had to kill thousands of war horses to satisfy their hunger before reaching their destination. In the autumn of the same year, Liaodong satrap Gongsun Kang came to surrender with Yuan Shang's head. According to Guo Jia's plan, Cao Cao finally completely pacified the north and unified the whole area north of the Yellow River Basin. On the way back from Liucheng, Guo Jia died because of acclimatization, bad weather, overwork and illness. In this way, a child prodigy fell like a meteor.

Cao Guo knows each other very well.

Among Cao Cao's many advisers, Guo Jia is the only one who knows Cao best. They are more intimate than friends. It is reported that two people walk in the same car and sit at the same table, which shows their intimacy. In the strict camp of running the army, Guo Jia has many unreasonable behaviors, but in the eyes of Cao Cao, who prefers him, this is an extraordinary person and should not be detained by common sense. "One of Cao Cao's discipline inspection officials, named Chen Qun, once hit one of his books because of his improper behavior of throwing away cups. However, Cao Cao praised Chen Qun for his meritorious service, but turned a deaf ear to Guo Jia. Not only that, Cao Cao secretly applauded Guo Jiayi's old way of life. In his long career, Cao Cao always took Guo Jia with him, so as to learn from him at any time and improvise. Some historians say that Guo Jia is lucky. Only Cao Cao, a talented person, dares to use Guo Jia, a person who despises etiquette and regards him as a "confidant". 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. Guo Jia's important position in Cao Cao Group is irreplaceable, and Cao Cao's military career can even be divided into two parts according to the death of Guo Jia. Guo Jia helped Cao Cao to unify the north before his death: Guo Jia played an important role in Cao Cao's battle to destroy Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao was basically at a standstill except for his achievements in the Northwest War with bandits such as Marten and Han Sui. After Battle of Red Cliffs in 2008, it left a helpless ending. Cao Cao himself knows this very well, otherwise he wouldn't have uttered such a lonely and ape-like lament on his retreat after the defeat of Chibi: "Guo Fengxiao (Guo Jia) is here, so he won't be here alone. "Cherish filial piety! Filial piety hurts! Alas for filial piety!

Commentator

First, choose the Lord and do things.

Guo Jia was ambitious since he was a child. At the age of twenty, he was keenly aware that there would be chaos in the world, so he lived in seclusion and waited for the opportunity. On the other hand, he keeps in touch with talented people in secret. Guo Jia's initial seclusion was due to Tian Feng's attachment to the most powerful Yuan Shao at that time. Yuan Shao had great respect for Guo Jia and others and treated them with courtesy. But after a few days, Guo Jia saw that Yuan Shao was indecisive and not good at employing people, and only one person resolutely left. When Cao Cao recruited talents, Yu Xun and Cheng Yu * * * led Guo Jia! Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia and asked Yuan Shao. Guo Jia famously said, "Ten wins and ten losses", when Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan, he offered a plan to conquer Lu Bu in one fell swoop. This will expand his own strength and avoid the threat of Lu Bu from the side in the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao. After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed: "It must be this person who makes orphans become great things." Guo Jia was impressed by Cao Cao's talent and ambition. When he left Cao Cao's camp, he was overjoyed and said; "It's true, my Lord." From then on, Guo Jia used Cao Cao's strategist, the strategist, to offer a drink offering. Make suggestions for Cao Cao's four-party campaign and serve him faithfully. Second, the plan was broken by Liu Lu. In February, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's plan to send troops to Lu Bu. Cao Jun defeated Cheng Peng first, then Lu Bu, and finally the army besieged Pi. However, Lu Bu persisted and couldn't get out. Cao Cao couldn't attack for a long time, so he thought of withdrawing troops. Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao to continue to attack the city. "Although Lyu3 bu4 brave, now all three wars are lost, the spirit has declined. The generals of the three armed forces will decline. Chen Gong is resourceful, but slow to respond. Now is the time to use the spirit of Lu Bu and Chen Gong's plan to March into the emergency attack, and we will certainly defeat Lu Bu. " Cao Cao acted according to the plan, while attacking the city, he drowned Pi with Yi and Si Shui. In December of the same year, Pi was conquered, and Lu Bu and Chen Gong were captured and killed alive. In the fourth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to attack the invading Yuan Shu. Guo Jia was shocked and stopped: "Don't let Liu Bei lead the army out, or it will be reversed." Cao Cao regretted it. Liu Bei immediately killed Che Zhou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, and United against Cao. Cao Jun was attacked from both sides. Cao Cao wanted to quickly send his troops to destroy Liu and turn to Yuan. People are afraid that Yuan Shao will attack from behind. Cao Cao was indecisive, and Guo Jia analyzed: "Yuan Shao has always been indecisive and unresponsive. Liu Beigang rebelled not long ago, and the people did not return, and his foothold was unstable. He attacks quickly, and he is doomed to lose. Then return to Li to deal with Yuan Shao. This is the best time to change between Scylla and Charybdis on the eve of the decisive battle, and we must not lose it. " Cao Cao finally strengthened his confidence and returned from Guandu to attack Liu. He broke the "wife-taking" in World War I, captured his general Guan Yu alive and won the next Pi. As Guo Jia expected, Yuan Shao didn't respond, and Liu Bei was defeated. Third, win from two yuan. After the battle of Guandu, the second son Lien Chan won. All the generals advocate sweeping Eryuan thoroughly. Guo Jia, on the other hand, added fuel to the flames in the crowd and found a new way. This paper analyzes the contradiction of yuan brothers's views on Cao Cao. If we attack them, we will work together. If we slow them down, we will be coaxed. It is suggested that Cao Cao return to the military uniform and levy Liu Biao in the south, "waiting for it to change." Sure enough, the second yuan competed for territory. Cao Cao took the opportunity to return to the north to attack one by one. Er Yuan died and fled. Thanks to Guo Jia's clever plan, the battle was won easily, smoothly and thoroughly. At this time, Yuan Shang fled to Wu Heng, and the generals of Jun thought it was not worthwhile to attack Wu Heng for Yuan Shang, making Xuchang empty and attacking Liu Bei. In the unanimous opposition, Guo Jia once again incisively and incisively analyzed the feasibility and significance of the Pingwuheng campaign. Guo Jia first said that the expropriation of Wu Heng is of great significance for consolidating the area north of the Yellow River just captured by Cao Jun .. It also revealed the contradiction between Liu Biao and Liu Bei, and pointed out that Liu Biao would never let Liu Bei sneak up on Xudu. Cao Cao listened to his words and quickly led the army to war. Guo Jia also advised the army to be quick and expensive, travel light and take it by surprise. Sure enough, Cao Jun approached Liucheng, where Wu Hengjun lived, for more than one hundred miles before being discovered. As a result, Zhang Liao suddenly attacked and killed Wu Hengjun in World War I ... Yuan Shang fled into Liaodong again, and Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, offered his head. According to Guo Jia's plan, Cao Cao finally completely pacified the north and unified the whole Yellow River basin! Fourth, the monarch and the minister know each other. Almost every time Cao Cao went to war, Guo Jia followed the military plane of the General Staff. When marching, Cao Cao walked side by side, and he also sat with Cao Cao at the meeting. Guo Jia's strategy is always correct when discussing military affairs, and his strategy has never been miscalculated, which really achieves the purpose of calculating everything. Guo Jia didn't keep etiquette, but he was reused by Cao Cao because of his extraordinary ingenuity. Only Cao Cao dared to use someone who despised etiquette like Guo Jia. Guo Jia, who is in her twenties, was cited as a "bosom friend". But also 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. When Guo Jia was seriously ill in bed, Cao Cao kept sending people to visit him. "The people who ask questions are staggered." Guo Jia died of illness, and Cao Cao went to the mourning hall with great grief. More poetic and concise language expressed his infinite sadness and regret: "Alas, filial piety! Filial piety hurts! Cherish filial piety! " (Biography of Fu Zi) Later, he said to the imperial court, "It has been ten years since the great army offered wine to Guo Jia. Every time there is a big discussion, the enemy will change. I haven't decided my policy yet. I need to make it work. Pacify the world and strive for high achievements. Unfortunately, life is short and my career is not over. It is really unforgettable to think of Jia Xun. You can increase 800 households and 1000 households. " To sum up, Guo Jia is Cao Cao's favorite and most effective counselor with profound knowledge and qualifications. It should be said that the reason why Cao Cao fought like a god was "like Sun Wu". Among them, Guo Jia played a very important role because of his strategizing. In the words of Cao Cao. It is: "pacify the world and aim high!"

historical chronology

[196] Cao Cao's counselor died and asked Yu Xun for advice. He recommended Guo Jia. Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia to discuss world affairs and said with great joy, "He is the only one who can help me achieve great things!" Guo Jia is also happy: "It is someone I really deserve to help." , hence the official. [197] Cao Cao seeks to be defeated again, but Yuan Shao and Xin are humiliated. Fuck, ask Guo Jia about the northern situation. Guo Jia, a newcomer, made a detailed and three-dimensional analysis of the situation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and put forward the famous theory of ten wins and ten losses to persuade Cao Cao to conquer Lu Bu. Guo Jia's analysis was fluent, meticulous and persuasive, which greatly enhanced Cao Cao's confidence, thus formally putting himself at the core of Cao Cao's military think tank. [198] Guo Jia served as an air force drink offering. Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei and Cao Cao's reinforcements, received a number of Taishan thieves, and grew in strength, dominating Xuzhou. Cao Cao shifted his strategic focus to the eastern front and launched an attack on Lu Bu. Lyu3 bu4 persisted after the previous setbacks, and the battle lasted for half a year. Cao Cao saw that the soldiers were exhausted and ready to give up. Only Guo Jia, seeing the victory, took Xiang Yu as an example to remonstrate with Cao Cao, and put forward the view that the brave are foolhardy and fishing will soon perish, and advised Cao Cao to attack urgently. Cao Cao listened to the advice, and as expected, he captured and killed Lu Bu alive. [199] Cao Cao sent Liu Bei and Zhu Ling to unite with Yuan Shu. Guo Jia saw through Liu Bei's ambition and remonstrated: "You can't blame Liu Bei!" Cao Cao regretted it and sent someone to chase Liu Bei back. Later, Liu Bei really killed Che Zhou to rebel, and joined forces with tens of thousands of bandits in the East China Sea to join hands with Yuan Shao. [200] Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted Guandu with the task of conquering Liu Bei, but they wanted to ask for it. People were afraid that Yuan Shao would sneak up on the rear to dissuade them, so Cao Cao hesitated and consulted with Guo Jia. Guo Jia said, "Yuan Shao is slow and suspicious. Even if he wants to sneak attack, it won't be fast. However, Liu Bei's power has just gathered and the people's hearts are not attached. If you have a blitzkrieg, you will definitely win. " So Cao Cao took the crusade, defeated Liu Bei, got a wife, captured Guan Yu, and then broke the East China Sea bandits who joined hands with Liu Bei. Jiangdong bully has just achieved the hegemony of Jiangdong. At that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other in Guandu, so they had a heart for the Central Plains. Cao Jun was very scared when he heard the news. Only Guo Jia expected: "Sun Ce just annexed Jiangdong, and he killed heroes who won the hearts of the people and came back to life. And Sun Ce himself is reckless and careless. Although there are millions of people, he is as easy to deal with as a loner. If an assassin is killed, it is only by one person's courage. I think he must die at the hands of a man. " Sure enough, Sun Ce died in the assassination of Xu Gong's family in 1607. [203] Yuan Shao died, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were demoted to Liyang. The generals want to attack eryuan. Guo Jia said that Cao Cao was at odds with Tan Shangsu and Guo Tu. When a consultant like Monsoon intervenes, he is bound to turn against each other. It is better to take Liu Biao from the south first, wait for it to change, and then strike it, and decide it at one stroke. Cao Cao agreed very much, so he went to the south. When the army arrived in Xiping, it was determined that the Yuan brothers were fighting internally, and Yuan Tan was defeated, so he stayed to protect the plain. Cao Cao easily defeated Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan respectively. The following year, Guo Jia was named Tinghou of Zhiyang. [205] Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao recruit and reuse many celebrities from Qing, Hebei, Youzhou and Sizhou to win the hearts of the people and completely consolidate the current control and resistance. Cao Cao took his advice and even reused Chen Lin, who once vilified himself. It is really valuable. [207] Yuan Shang fled to Wuhuan. All the generals said, "Yuan Shang is like a lost dog. Foreigners outside the customs are greedy and unjust and will not support them. If we make another expedition, Liu Bei will inevitably provoke Liu Biao to attack Xudu. What if there are any variables? " Guo Jia urged, "The Hu people are isolated, so they must be unguarded now. A sudden attack will surely destroy them. Yuan Shao is kind to the conference semifinals. If Yuan Shang is still alive, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later. Now that the four States are unstable, Yuan Jia's influence is still great. At this time, when the conference semifinals moved, the old minister replied, and when the people and barbarians moved, the rear was not safe. Liu Biao is a politician who only knows how to talk big. He knows that he is not enough to influence Liu Bei, so he must take precautions against him and make the best use of the situation. Although it is now a virtual expedition, once and for all, there will be no future trouble. " Cao Cao took Guo Jia's advice and immediately invaded Liaodong. When he arrived in Yicheng, Guo Jia felt that the speed of advancement was still too slow. He suggested, "The soldiers are expensive and fast. At present, the expedition is thousands of miles away, with too much luggage and slow progress. If the other party is aware of it, it is necessary to plan ahead. It is better to leave the trench, travel light and attack it unprepared. " Cao Cao took a shortcut to attack Liucheng, which greatly defeated the enemy troops who came to fight. This war has also become a classic example in the history of China War, with far-reaching influence. On the way back from Liucheng, perhaps because of acclimatization, bad weather and overwork, Guo Jia died of illness and a generation of famous players fell. Cao Cao lost his voice in pain. He praised filial piety, which increased the number of households in the city by 800, and died as a noble marquis. He also said to Xun and others, "You are all about my age, and only filial piety is the youngest. Something happened in the world, and I entrusted him to clean up, but he died at the peak of his life. Is this fate? " [208] Cao Cao defeated Chibi and sighed, "If you are filial, you will not be alone here!" (from the "Three Kingdoms") and said: "Alas, filial piety! Filial piety hurts! Cherish filial piety! " [262] Chen Wei lived in the temple for three years, and Guo Jia worshipped in the temple of Cao Cao.

Ten wins and ten losses

The first is "Tao wins". As a clan warlord, Yuan Shao's manners are numerous and chaotic, which is determined by his form. Cao Cao's "using nature" conforms to the times and events, and "Tao" is superior. The second is "righteousness wins". Cao Cao's "submission to lead the world" conforms to the historical trend and is moral. The third is "ruling victory." Guo Jia analyzed history and reality from a politician's point of view, and thought that the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty was the ruler's "leniency", while Yuan Shao helped him with leniency, so there was nothing to resist. Cao Cao's management measures of combining leniency with severity are timely. The fourth is "winning". Yuan Shao is generous in appearance, suspicious in heart and cronyism to his children; Cao Cao, on the other hand, is "there is no doubt about employing people, and he is talented, regardless of distance", and his tolerance and mind are better than Yuan Shao's. The fifth is "winning". Yuan Shao is helpless and indecisive; Cao Cao is alert and courageous, "the strain is endless." The sixth is "Desheng". Yuan Shao's fame and reputation, like to be touted, "scholars have more kind words than decorators"; Cao Cao treats scholars with sincerity; "Don't value vanity", pay attention to practicality, reward and punishment, "be generous to those who have made meritorious deeds", and those loyal, forward-looking and pragmatic scholars "are willing to use it". The seventh is "benevolence wins". Yuan Shaohuai is kind to a woman, but he can't see the sympathy when people are hungry, but "he can't rest assured." This is not a politician's mind. Cao Cao may be careless about the small things in front of him, but he is "thoughtful and wicked" about the big things in the world. His kindness is everywhere. The eighth is "Ming Sheng". Yuan Shao was puzzled by the slanders, and Cao Cao clearly distinguished right from wrong, saying, "It is useless to control the enemy with Tao, but to infiltrate." . The ninth is "Vincent". Yuan Shao doesn't distinguish right from wrong. Cao Cao's "courtesy" is correct and "righteousness" is incorrect. The tenth is "Vu Thang". Yuan Shao's use of troops is "being good for nothing, not knowing the desire for soldiers", while Cao Cao's use of troops is like a god, and his soldiers are dependent on it, and the enemy is afraid of it. At present, Guo Jia pointed out that these ten aspects, including political measures, policies and decrees, organizational line, ideological accomplishment, tolerance, personality, style of writing and military strategy, are the key to the success of the cause. Guo Jia's summary of "Ten Wins" for Cao Cao may also be a compliment to Cao Cao, who is new here, or an encouragement and request to Cao Cao. I hope he can hold on to the "ten victories", complete the great cause of unifying the world, and have a bright future for himself ... Any speculation is of little significance. In any case, Guo Jia can say this "ten wins", which shows that he is not only an adviser who improvises, but also has a complete theory. No wonder Cao Cao was full of praise after listening. "If you want to be a big business, you must be this person." Therefore, "the watch offers wine to the Air Force."

Historical evaluation

Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms: Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Ye Liu and Jiang Jicai are all military strategists. Although they are unique in the fast travel, their planning is expected. Cao Cao: To make an orphan a great cause, he must be this person. Only filial piety can know loneliness. Alas for filial piety! Cherish filial piety! Filial piety hurts! Mao Zedong: Great talent, resourcefulness, advice and outstanding achievements.
