The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes. The chaotic world produces heroes, especially in the Three Kingdoms, heroes are also the era of heroes withering, among which Cao Cao, Lü Bu, Liu Guanzhang, etc. all make people sigh and admire, not only the situation has achieved heroes, but also the heroes have created the situation.
Nowadays, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms are long gone, and they can only reproduce the heroic style of that year in people's talk and laughter, people living in the era of peace, fighting for family background and economic strength, people living in the era of war and chaos, all rely on their ability to survive, chaotic world, is the stage for heroes to emerge.
However, there are also some people who abuse the number of people, punch swollen faces and fill fat, as strategists, they have no real ability, and their performance is even more surprising, Wei Shu Wu has one person each.
Guo Jia, born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a strategist from present-day Yuzhou, Henan, successively served as a ruler under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and for him, everyone had their own opinions, readers who had seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even commented that he "does not die of filial piety, and does not come out of the Crouching Dragon.".
In fact, these materials beautify his existence, and it cannot be denied that Guo Jia does have his own insights, but there is still a gap compared to Zhuge Liang. Just as the so-called gentleman employs people's strengths, Guo Jia must have something desirable in him, otherwise he will not win Cao's heart.
As we all know, there are generally two kinds of strategists, one is the ability to strategize, such as Erxun, and the other is good judgment, such as Guo Jia, according to the historical records, Cao Cao has many strategists, of which Xun You and Guo Jia are the most valued, both are among the five great strategists, and the mastermind behind Cao Cao is actually Xun You, not Guo Jia.
Guo Jia surrendered to Cao Cao at the age of 27 and served as a military master under him, which is to put it bluntly, a staff officer without real power.
One of the three most famous schemes of Guo Jia's life was his "Ten Battles and Ten Defeats" theory of Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Confrontation". As the Battle of Guandu was about to begin, Xun You immediately came up with a detailed operational deployment and strategic analysis, clarified the advantages and disadvantages of our army's operations, and finally pointed out the direction of strategic development, making sufficient prejudgments and meticulous plans.
On Guo Jia's side, he did not hurry or slowly put forward his set of theories, the so-called Cao Cao can win ten reasons: Tao, righteousness, morality, benevolence, literature, Wuming, Strategy, Wisdom, degree, basically means to play oil poetry before the war.
Incidentally, Cao Gong was good, and he was stronger than Yuan Shao in every way, and Cao Cao bowed his head in embarrassment when he heard it. Although it was not a strategic plan, Cao Cao listened to his heart, and after drinking the chicken soup, his heart was warm, and seeing Cao Cao's spirit, the generals of the whole army were deeply encouraged and morale soared, and at the moment of the decisive battle, Guo Jia followed Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao.
The second is that Xun You Guo Jia offered a plan to flood Pi City in Surabaya. At that time, Lü Bu was defeated and retreated to Picheng, Cao Cao led the strategists to discuss countermeasures, but there was no result for a long time, at this time Guo Jia said that he had a plan, Cao Cao asked, he did not answer.
When everyone was confused, Xun You said: Is it the flooding of Surabaya that broke the embankment? After Guo Jia listened, he immediately nodded his head and said: Yes, this is it. Now it seems that this strategy should be Xun You's, and he has taken advantage of this to get a piece of the pie.
The third is to set the liaodong in the posthumous plan. Guo Jia accompanied Cao Cao to fight in Wuhuan, and on the way, unfortunately, he was sick and dying, and when his life was in danger, he left a plan for Cao Cao, asking him to go into battle lightly, not to pursue Yuan Bing, to besiege Liaodong without attacking, and the city lord Sun Kang would go out of the city to meet him. As Guo Jia expected, a few days later, Sun Kang consciously carried the head of General Yuan Bing.
Cao Cao eliminated all the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces without moving a knife and a blade, Guo Jia's plan was indeed more clever than the previous two, Cao Cao won more decently, in fact, no matter what happened, it would eventually be this ending.
In summary, Guo Jia's performance around Cao Cao is actually not as good as Xun You, he is more like Cao Cao's psychological counselor, often able to give Cao Cao a shot of cardiotonic agent when he needs it most.
Among the Three Kingdoms, the most famous battle is the Battle of Chibi, which laid the foundation for the three kingdoms, such an important battle, is not the credit of Zhou Yu alone, of which Pang Tong can also be said to be indispensable.
Pang Tong, born in ancient Jingzhou, is now a native of Xiangyang, Hubei Province, an important strategist of Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, and Zhuge Liang, who is described by Wolong Fengchi as 2 people, but he is not like Zhuge Liang, Liu Beisan Gu Maolu was invited.
Pang Tong first went to Eastern Wu to find Sun Quan, who looked down on him because of his rude appearance, and then went to Liu Bei's army to surrender, because of this experience, his value was reduced by one level, although the strategy was not lost to Zhuge Liang, but his prestige in the army was far inferior to his.
Pang Tong has always lived under the glory of Zhuge Liang, and when there is a disagreement, Liu Bei will first adopt Zhuge Liang's suggestion, and it can be said that Pang Tong cannot fully gain Liu Bei's trust.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei led the people to attack Luocheng, and when Pang Tong led the crowd to attack the city, he was unfortunately shot by a random arrow and killed on the spot, at the age of 36, Liu Bei deeply regretted.
Among the many strategists, Pang Tong's method of death is the most unique, and the really powerful strategists do not know how to survive in the battlefield, which is really regrettable. In summary, Pang Tong's life was bumpy and tragic, but he was just a beam-jumping clown in history.
We all know that Zhuge Liang alone assisted two generations of kings and had worldly merits, in fact, there was another minister during the Three Kingdoms period, who also undertook the burden of entrusting orphans and assisting two generations of lords in succession, this person is Zhang Zhao, a role that is often ignored by everyone.
Zhang Zhao, born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a native of present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu, was a heavy minister of the State of Wu, a strategist of Sun Ce, a young and erudite scholar, a well-known local scholar, who had been recruited by the prefect of Xuzhou many times, but had never been called, and after Cao Cao led his troops to conquer Xuzhou, he took refuge in Yangzhou with the displaced people, and later Sun Ce raised troops and became a strategist under him.
During his tenure, because of his outstanding intelligence, he was deeply used by Sun Ce, and throughout his life, he made great contributions to the Wu state, and in the early days of the Sun family's military uprising, he tried his best to assist Sun Ce and made important contributions in the First World War of Jiangdong, Sun Ce called him his "Guan Zhong", and almost all the affairs of the camp were handled by Zhang Zhao, and he was so trusted that Sun Ce entrusted his younger brother Sun Quan to him before his death.
In the early days of Sun Quan's rise to power, the foundation was unstable, many people secretly colluded to plot rebellion, Sun Quan was sad and angry but powerless, it was Zhang Zhao who personally helped him get on the horse, assisted him to appease the people, and reused talents, and the people believed in him, and every time Sun Quan sent troops, he would order Zhang Zhaocheng to stay behind.
But his relationship with Sun Quan is very general, 2 people are like teachers and students, one is not convinced, one is not satisfied, coupled with personality differences, Zhang Zhao is well aware of the burden he shoulders, and he cannot help but repeatedly advise Sun Quan, Sun Quan is young and vigorous, in the face of incessant chattering trouble, he is not as generous as Sun Ce, so quarrels are like a common thing, Sun Ce is both annoying and afraid of him.
In the Chibi War, Cao Cao waved his division south, Sun Quan rebelled, Zhang Zhao's suggestion was to surrender, not only let Sun Quan's attitude towards him reach the freezing point, but also let posterity criticize him, and even negated everything he had done before, a generation of strategists, did not expect to be a soft bone, really the older the person, the smaller the bolder, as a strategist, completely overestimated his level.
