Guo Jia is not dead, and there are no three kingdoms

Guo Jia (郭嘉), courtesy name Fengxiao, was a famous strategist around Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The history books call it: "a strategist, a wonder of the world." At the age of 21, Guo Jia defected to Yuan Shao, the most powerful prince at that time, and Yuan Shao treated Guo Jia with great respect and became a "talent of the world". However, after a long time, Guo Jia saw that Yuan Shao was not a big thing, and finally left alone. Finally, after the recommendation of his friend Xun Yu, he came to Cao Cao's account, Cao Cao was very fond of it, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia about the world, and Guo Jia said that Cao Cao's mind was broken. Since then, Cao Cao has not been able to give advice, laying the foundation for Cao Cao's initial power, but The heavens are jealous of the talents, and Guo Jiaying died early. If Guo Jia does not die, it is estimated that there will be no three points in the world.

At that time, Yuan Shao's forces in the north were very powerful, and he wanted to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and Cao Cao's troops were far inferior to Yuan Shao's, and many generals had plans to surrender, but Guo Jia was extremely aware of Yuan Shao's psychology and put forward the "theory of ten victories and ten defeats", he cited Cao Cao's reasons for ten victories and Yuan Shao's reasons for ten defeats, Guo Jia's analysis was very convincing, which made the Qunchen marvel, not only boosted the morale of Cao Cao's army, but also set operational goals for Cao Cao. The Battle of Guandu in which Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with few victories laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify the north, and this battle also became a famous battle in Chinese history in which less won more.

After that, cao cao, in accordance with Guo Jia's suggestion, first captured Pengcheng and then prepared to defeat Lü Bu, but after a long time, Cao Cao planned to abandon the attack on Lü Bu, at this time Guo Jia proposed: "When there are brave and unscrupulous people who are weak and weak, they will not be defeated", Cao Cao rushed to attack Lü Bu in accordance with Guo Jia's strategy, and sure enough, it did not take long to capture Lü Bu and kill Lü Bu.

Cao Cao had always obeyed Guo Jia's words, and the only thing he did not listen to Guo Jia was that he did not kill Liu Bei, and Cao Cao was afraid of ruining his reputation and did not take Guo Jia's advice. Later, Liu Bei took advantage of Yuan Shu's northward surrender to Yuan Shao and took the initiative to ask Cao Cao to intercept and kill Yuan Shu, at this time Guo Jia happened to be away from Cao Cao, Cao Cao agreed to Liu Bei's request, at this time Liu Bei attacked Xia Pi and raised an army against Cao Cao, Cao Cao was very remorseful and did not listen to Guo Jia's advice. Not long after, Guo Jia proposed: Yuan Shao was like hanging up, Liu Bei was unstable, quickly attacked, Liu Bei would undoubtedly lose, solved Liu Bei's worries, and then fought Yuan Shao. Cao Cao took Guo Jia's advice and defeated Liu Bei, took Liu Bei's wife captive, and captured Guan Yu.

In the early days of the Battle of Guandu, what made Cao Cao most uneasy was Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Guo Jia predicted that Sun Ce had just taken Jiangdong and killed many Haojie of Jiangdong, and that he was rash and not good at defense, and would surely die at the hands of assassins. The result was exactly in response to Guo Jia's prediction, and Sun Ce was assassinated by the Assassins before he crossed the river. In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao died of illness after Cao Cao's great victory, and Cao Cao and the generals wanted to annihilate Yuan Shao's two sons in one fell swoop, at which time Guo Jia dujin Qi ce suggested that Cao Cao retreat, on the grounds that Yuan Shao's two sons had always been at odds with each other, and it was better to attack Liu Biao. It didn't take long for Yuan Shao's two sons to fight, and Cao Cao used Guo Jia's clever plan to win the battle very easily.

......

Among Cao Cao's many advisers, only Guo Jia knew Cao Cao best, although Cao Cao's eldest Guo Jia was 21 years old, but the two were like brothers, no matter what they did, they took Guo Jia, took a car, and ate a case meal. Whenever there was a major military event, it was better to ask Guo Jia, and Guo Jia never miscalculated, Cao Cao placed great expectations on Guo Jia and planned to entrust the major affairs of governing the country to Guo Jia, but Guo Jia died young.

There are also rumors: Guo Jia did not die and the dragon did not come out, and after Guo Jia died, Zhuge Liang went out to the mountains to assist Liu Bei. Cao Cao lamented after the great defeat in "The Battle of Chibi" that "weak Guo Fengxiao is here, and I will never make me have such a big defeat", which shows Cao Cao's affirmation of Guo Jia, if Guo Jia does not die, the Battle of Chibi Cao Cao will not fail, there will be no Shu Han and Eastern Wu, Cao Cao will unify the whole country sooner or later, let alone Sima Yi behind him... Unfortunately, history does not assume, just a little more sigh!
