How terrifying is Guo Jia? If he does not die, he will have no three kingdoms, is it true? In this article, I will talk to you about this topic.
In recent years, various myths about Guo Jia have begun to circulate on the Internet, in short, Guo Jia does not die, Wolong does not come out; in short, Guo Jia does not die, there is no Three Kingdoms. It is as if Guo Jia alone can determine the direction of the entire history of the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, many times, the reason why everyone will have similar feelings is probably mainly because of the influence of various drama stories and film and television dramas. Because, in these rendition stories and film and television dramas, it is often because of one of the schemes of these strategists that directly leads to the change of the entire war situation.
In other words, when everyone was at a loss, a bullish strategist offered a plan and immediately turned things around.
It is precisely because of this that everyone feels that as long as a certain person gets a certain powerful strategist, he can rule the world. But in fact, this is obviously just everyone's illusion, or everyone has not figured out why a person can become a top strategist.
When looking at the history of the Three Kingdoms, when it comes to the top strategists, we often think that these strategists will become the top strategists because of their strategic skills. In fact, a good strategist is by no means simply because he has strategized others, or what he can think of and scheming that others cannot think of.
Why? First of all, we can divide the strategists into multiple levels according to the rank of the general, such as the level of squad leader, the level of regimental commander, the level of division commander, the level of commander, and the level of commander. In a sense, this difference between them is not due to any difference in their intelligence and strategy, but because of their identity and status.
In other words, if you do not have enough status and status, even if your strategy is better than Xiao He, Cao Shan, and Chen Ping, you are probably only worthy of being a squad leader or a strategist at the regimental commander level; but if you have a good jianghu status, your strategy, even if it is average, can become a strategist at the level of division commander and military commander.
In this regard, we only need to look at Xiao He, Cao Shan, Chen Ping, and Han Xin when they did not rise to the jianghu. These people were all recognized by later generations as people who governed the country and the country, but before they achieved sufficient status and status, Qin Shi Huang was visiting all the folk talents, and I am afraid that he would not visit them.
Back in the Three Kingdoms period, as soon as Zhuge Liang made his debut, he served as a strategist in Liu Bei's power core; zhuge Jin made his debut as a strategist in Sun Quan's power core; Xun Yu made his debut as a strategist in Cao Cao's power core; Xun Zhan,served as a strategist in Yuan Shao's power core as soon as he made his debut.
Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin were brothers; Xun Yu and Xun Zhan were also brothers. They can all be in high positions in different camps, is it just because their talents far exceed those of others?
Obviously not, this is nothing more than because the jianghu status of the Zhuge family and the Xun family is itself at the level of division commander and military commander. Therefore, the representative figures of their family, as soon as they debut, can serve as strategists at the level of division commander, military commander, or even commander.
Of course, in addition to these top strategists who have become top strategists because of their backgrounds, there are also some strategists who are themselves powerful figures who have worked hard in the chaotic world. For example, Jia Xu, who relied on the Guanzhong War, completely established the status of the jianghu; for example, Cheng Yu, who relied on the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo's rebellion, repeatedly chose to succeed and became a figure that the local public expected.
In fact, as long as we understand this basic fact, we will naturally know that the gap between these strategists is not because they are far more talented than others, or what they can think of, others can't think of, but only because there is a huge gap between their family background and the status of the jianghu.
In other words, the value that pure strategy can bring is not as great as everyone thinks, because many times you can think of things that others can think of, and the IQ between people is not so big. The real big difference is to mobilize various resources to realize this strategy, and at this time, the fight is the family background and the status of the strategist.
If your family background is strong, you can rely on a strong family background to mobilize all kinds of manpower, material and financial resources to help the protagonist realize this strategy; similarly, if your jianghu status is high, then your words and deeds may affect the human, material and financial resources that can never be underestimated. In this context, even if the wrong move is made, the power that can be generated is amazing.
Conversely, if you don't have a strong family background and status, even if you can think of the top strategy, you usually can only think about it, because next, how do you achieve it? You must not think that the counselor is only responsible for putting forward opinions and ideas, and that implementation is the matter of the lord.
Because, don't say that the ancient marching wars, that is, our current company's project development, etc., the people who put forward the plan often need to be responsible or assist in completing the plan, rather than putting it forward and ignoring it. If you're just responsible for giving advice, what's the difference between that and talking on paper? Moreover, you must not think that what you can think of, others will not think.
In fact, the several sets of plans that can be put on the commander-in-chief's desk are all plans with mixed advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it will never have an incomparably correct solution, nor will it have an incomparably wrong solution. Because, incomparably correctly, the commander-in-chief will be selected if he has the IQ of a normal person. As for the incomparably wrong plan, it simply could not be put on the commander-in-chief's desk.
Because the plan that can be placed on the commander's desk is jointly screened by countless professionals. So, a really valuable plan, not only because it looks very good; more importantly, it depends on whether the parties can effectively implement it. If it cannot be effectively implemented, even the most perfect plan is something that is on paper.
Back to Guo Jia, I also like Guo Jia, and he is indeed recognized as a very good strategist. But the problem is that to say that he was the smartest man of his time, and that he could think of something that no one else could think of, would obviously be nonsense.
Well, taking another ten thousand steps back, even if Guo Jia was really the smartest person of that era, for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, if they were to choose who was their most important strategist, I believe Cao Cao would still choose Xun Yu and Liu Bei would choose Zhuge Liang.
Although Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang were not necessarily smarter than Guo Jia, the value they could bring to Cao Cao and Liu Bei was obviously far greater than Guo Jia.
Because, Xun Yu is the representative of the entire Xun family to a small extent, and to a large extent, it is the leading figure of the entire Yingchuan Shi clan, Xun Yu joined Cao Cao, even if he does not offer a plan, the value he brings to Cao Cao in terms of human, material and financial resources is immeasurable. Because, with him at the helm, many of Cao Cao's schemes can truly become a reality.
As for Zhuge Liang, not to mention, to a lesser extent, people are the representative figures of the Zhuge family, and to the largest, they are the leading figures of the Jingzhou Shaozhuang faction, and the value he brought to Liu Bei is by no means to give him advice, but he can let Liu Bei mobilize more manpower, material resources and financial resources in Jingzhou from now on, so that many rich nobles in Jingzhou are on Liu Bei's side.
At this point, Guo Jia obviously couldn't do it, Guo Jia was just a relatively outstanding member of the Yingchuan Shi clan, although he was very clever and could come up with many plans for Cao Cao, but the problem was, if there was no cooperation and support from Xun Yu in terms of human, material and financial resources, what was the use of these simple schemes?
This is also why Xun Yu can be a strategist, but he can always compete with Cao Cao, because the resources brought to Cao Cao are too great. In this sense, Guo Jia is just one of the many powerful strategists in the Three Kingdoms, and it is obviously too exaggerated to say that he is terrifying and irreplaceable, or how to do without him.
