What kind of person is Guo Jia?

Guo Jia was recommended to Cao Cao by Yu Xun, a gifted scholar in Yingchuan. Yu Xun has Wang Zuo's talent and high moral integrity, and has made great contributions to the establishment and consolidation of Cao Wei's regime. Yu Xun is to Cao Cao what Xiao He is to Liu Bang. Yu Xun has outstanding administrative ability, but Guo Jia, who is also a native of Yingchuan, doesn't. When Guo Jia was young, he studied hard and kept away from the people around him, so people knew very little. This is similar to that before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain. But Yu Xun knew him, so he was recommended to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is very lucky. He found several people who can really make plans for him. Cao Cao's counselor level is definitely higher than that of Shu Han and Wu Dong. At that time, Cao Cao recruited a large number of resourceful people, except for Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang (of course, Wu Dong had a Lu Xun, which was later), but it happened that these two people, one burned his more than 200,000 troops in Chibi, and the other used suspected soldiers tactics to drive him out of Hanzhong, leaving him hopeless for reunification. Many of Cao Ying's advisers are outstanding people with distinctive personalities. After Guo Jia was recommended to Cao Cao by Gou Jian, he was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao. Apart from Guo Jia's excellent strategic analysis and profound vision, Cao Cao's special appreciation of Guo Jia has several other reasons. One is that Guo Jia's personality is similar to Cao Cao's, with bold appearance and meticulous mind. Cao Cao became "the loneliest person". Another point is that Guo Jia is ten years younger than Cao Cao, a generation later, while the others, such as Yu Xun, Gou Jian, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, are all about the same age as Cao Cao. Cao Cao intended to leave Guo Jia alone, but he died young. Otherwise, Sima Yi would not be so easy to get later, which is another story. "Born in Guo Fengxiao, a hero. The history of Tibetan scriptures is hidden in the chest, and soldiers are hidden in the belly. The operation is like Fan Li, and the decision is like Chen Ping. " Guo Jiazhi is probably not that smooth and versatile. Only compare him with Fan Li and Chen Ping, not with Sean. "Zhang Zifang's elite is really not Chen Ping's legacy." Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are often juxtaposed, and history shows that Cheng Yu is "withdrawn and out of harmony with others". I don't think Guo Jia's nature is much better. Perhaps it is because he is good at strategic analysis and judgment and has developed the habit of thinking hard, or perhaps it is because he meditates for a long time and has little contact with people around him. He is said to be a "hero" probably because he is as free and unfettered as Cao Cao. Cao Cao's other advisers, such as Gou's uncle, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, have no "reputation" as heroes. Although he is a scholar, he has the spirit of heroism, which is probably similar to that of Lu Xun. Of course, he refers to high spirits. Lu Xun will enter the phase, he can fight independently, but also lead soldiers into it. This seems to be one of Guo Jia's shortcomings. He is full of passion and lacks action, but although he lacks action, he is by no means an armchair strategist. Guo Jia lacks the ability to fight on the battlefield in a unified way, and it also lacks the administrative ability. The former is not as good as Lu Xun and Cheng Yu, while the latter is not as good as Gou Jian. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect his position in Cao Cao's mind. His clarity in strategic judgment is rare in the three countries. After the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao once cried and offered sacrifices to Guo Jia. "If Guo Fengxiao were here, he wouldn't teach me this failure." Defects make people look cute and feel close. Unlike Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang is too wise and Zhou Lang is too charming. Guo Jia is a man of temperament. Guo Jia's face in history (reproduced) 1. Guo Jia, the character, was devious. The biography of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei Guo Family, said: "At the beginning, Chen Qunfei refused to go to the inspection, and several courtiers sued Jia, which was very good. Mao is getting heavier and heavier, but it is also pleasant to be with the pack. " The whole "I'm a gangster and I'm afraid of who" posture, what's the matter? I just can't handle inspection. What can you do? Cao Cao and Guo Jia are birds of a feather, neither of them is a good thing, so they are more congenial to him. But after all, there is still the word "justice" in the world, and Cao Cao has to be gratified that people like Chen Qun can uphold justice, otherwise everyone in Wei will die like Cao Cao and Guo Jia. Second, Cao Cao's attention This is the place where Guo Jia fans talk about it. Cao Cao said, "Only filial piety can know loneliness", "You are orphans, and you have the least filial piety. What's going on in the world, I want to return to it in the future. People die in middle age, and life is also a husband! " "If you make an orphan into a big career, you must have this person." The most important thing is that the Red Cliff defeated Cao Cao and said, "Guo Fengxiao is here, don't be an orphan here." (See "The Story of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei and Guo Jiachuan") It seems very strong, but don't be too happy. Cao Cao is not only praising Guo Jia, but also treating others to the same extent. For Xun, he said, "I'm going to visit Mao." Taizu said, "My ovary is also." "Mao's military affairs are all related to Mi Zhu's money-raising"-this is a substantive issue, which seems to be stronger than lip service (see the biography of the Three Kingdoms for all the above). "I took the initiative from the beginning, ran around, and made concerted efforts with Mi Zhu, left and right, without any effect. Mi Zhu's contribution, I rely on the economy, and show the sun and the moon with floating clouds "(The History of the Three Kingdoms Shu Wei Yu Xun quoted My Biezhuan) told Xun You:" It is time for Xun You to always seek the master "(The History of the Three Kingdoms Shu Wei Yu Xun)-it is still a substantive issue," The strategist Xun You, Gong Da followed ","(teaching Cao Pi) Gong Xun. Mao's words made him cry "(see the reflection of Shu Wei Xun You)," Mao said' Xun is good, not only, Xun junshi is evil, not only' "(quoted by the reflection of Wei Zhi Xun You) Guo Jia's praise is obviously not as strong as the" ovary ". As for the sentence "Guo Fengxiao is here, you can't be alone", it is purely a fig leaf after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi. Didn't Jia Xu advise Cao Cao not to make a move? "Take thirteen years, MAO jingzhou, want to shun jiangdong. Xu Jian said, "In the past, Yuan's family was greatly defeated, but now Hanan is famous and has great military potential; If we take advantage of the forgiveness of the old Chu, entertain officials, comfort the people, and make the land peaceful and happy, we can take it from Jiangdong with no effort. "If Mao does not obey, the army will not benefit."-"The Story of the Three Kingdoms Jia Xu" Cao Yao refused to listen to Jia Xu's good words and went to Lai without Guo Jia afterwards. It was ridiculous! In the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu and the second son Xun are three biographies, while Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Ye Liu and Jiang Ji are another biography, and Cheng Yu is still ahead of Guo Jia. What does this mean? In Cao Cao's camp, Guo Jia's position is lower than that of his second sons Xun and Jia Xu, and slightly lower than that of Cheng Yu. Therefore, what "Cao Cao's first counselor" is really nonsense. Three. Guo Jia's Achievements What did Guo Jia do? It seems really nothing. The first is the theory of "ten wins and ten losses", which makes Guo Jia fans forget it. Alas, it is because of this that I feel that Guo Jia is inferior to Yu Xun. "Shao looks generous, inner taboo, inner suspicious. He is open-minded and informal, which suits his talents. This degree will win. If you procrastinate and make fewer decisions, you will lose the opportunity, and you will be able to break major events and fail to cope well. This will also win. Salt royal army lenient, laws are not established, foot soldiers are few, in fact, it is difficult to use, public law is clear, rewards and punishments must be done, foot soldiers are few, all fight for death, this Vu Thang also. Shao relies on the resources of the world, calmly embellishing wisdom and collecting reputation. Therefore, there are not many scholars who can ask more questions, and the public is even good to others. Sincere beauty is not empty, frugality is cultivated, and those who have made meritorious deeds are not stingy. Therefore, people who are loyal to the world should use it for this purpose, and this virtue is also "("The Biography of the Three Kingdoms Shu Wei Yu Xun "). Let's take a look, how well it is summed up. In contrast, it is also (in Jia Xu), "I know Shao as a man, who is ambitious but wise, strong in desire and weak in courage, who avoids grams and threatens little, who has many soldiers but unknown plans, who is arrogant and has different decrees." Although the land is vast and the food is abundant, it is enough to convince me "("The History of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei, Emperor Wudi ")," The public wins Shao, the brave wins Shao, and the people win Shao. " We must seize the opportunity and make a decision soon (reflection of Shu Wei Jia Xu). This "ten wins and ten losses" is not Guo Jia's patent at all. Yu Xun is comprehensive and detailed, while Jia Xu's summary is concise and to the point. What about Guo Jia's? Make every effort to discredit Yuan Shao's praise of Cao Cao's smelly feet and make the war easier than child's play. Hey, that's great. Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten losses. If you don't believe me, you can compare yourself and see if Xun Jia is better or Guo Jia is smarter. "Liu Yi lost, public knowledge also. Han zu can only beat him; Although Xiang Yu is strong, he is still a bird. Jia secretly expected Shao to lose ten times and Gong to win ten times. Although the soldiers are strong, there is nothing they can do. Courtesy is more polite, and the public body is natural. This way is better than one. Salt to counter-action, public to serve the world, this righteousness wins two. At the end of the Han dynasty, the government was disgraced, and the salt was lenient and not taken. The public corrected it with violence and knew the system from top to bottom. This rule is better than three. Wide outside and taboo inside, suspicious people use people.
