What kind of person was Guo Jia in history? Why is there little record of him in history?

Guo Jia (170-207) was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan (now Yuxian, Henan).

I like Guo Jia for two reasons: First, Guo Jia is actually the first counselor of Cao Cao, and I think he is also the first counselor of the Three Kingdoms, and he is better than Zhuge Liang in some aspects. It's a pity that he died early, so they can't compare. If he hadn't died too early, the history of the Three Kingdoms would have been rewritten. Second, Guo Jia is a good man. In other words, he has a good personality. History books say that he is "far-reaching because of his wisdom, understanding, loyalty, kindness, wisdom, virtue and beauty, and versatility", and he is a cheerful, generous and even informal person.

Throughout Guo Jia's life, it can be said that it is very powerful. Guo Jia was ambitious and knowledgeable since childhood. When the world was in chaos, he studied hard behind closed doors for a long time, and finally mastered a wide range of political, military and historical knowledge, forming his own unique political views. When he was about 20 years old, it was the beginning of chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is still anonymous and has not yet shown his edge. But secretly, he usually doesn't associate with laity, but pays great attention to making friends with heroes. Therefore, at that time, most people didn't know his talent, and only those handsome people who knew him and shared common interests valued his talent. For example, Yu Xun, his fellow countryman, and Cheng Yu, the second counselor in Cao Cao's works. They recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

At the beginning, Guo Jia heard that Yuan Shao could honour a worthy corporal, and had been very famous at that time. He went to defect, hoping to make great achievements. However, Yuan Shao himself is generous outside and taboo inside, so virtuous can't be used. So Guo Jia didn't get Yuan Shao's reuse. At that time, Guo Jia's two fellow villagers Xin Ping and Guo Tu also worked for Yuan Shao. Guo Jia said to them, "A wise man should first judge and choose a wise master. Only in this way can he succeed and become famous. Now, Yuan Gong just wants to learn from Duke Zhou's courtesy corporal, but he doesn't know the truth of employing people at all. He only recruits talents and doesn't pay attention to talents; It's easy to decide what happened. If you want to save the world with him, it is really difficult to build a hegemonic career! " So he resolutely left Yuan Shao to find another sage. Facts proved his wisdom and determination. Xin Ping and Guo Tu finally buried Yuan. A wise psychological counselor should be good at choosing the object of assistance. The so-called "good birds choose wood to live" is the first condition for his success. Guo Jia once said, "The wise judge the master." As a strategist, Guo Jia's genius lies in his ability to accurately judge that Yuan Shao is just a hollow name, the country is difficult to rise and fall, and the fate of failure is inevitable, so he can never be chosen as the "master" of his career.

So, when he and Cheng Yu introduced Guo Jia to Cao Cao, Cao Cao just lacked a comprehensive talent (one of Cao Cao's first think tanks, just died soon). This figure is also a pity, and there is no information left in history. However, as can be seen from Cao Cao's letter to Yu Xun, "since the death of Xi Zhicai, few people can do great things with him." There have always been many strange people in your area and English area. Who can inherit you as a talented playwright? " It can be seen that the actor should be a very powerful figure. ), it was a brief encounter between the two. History: Guo Jia and Cao Cao had a long talk in the room for a day and a night. After Guo Jia went out, he went to heaven and whispered, "Cao Gongcai is really the sage I want to go to!" Cao Cao happily praised and said, "If you make an orphan into a great cause, you must have this person." Sure enough, it can be said that in the process of Cao Cao pacifying the whole north, Guo Jia contributed more than half. So much so that after Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao was miserable, and even wrote a letter to Emperor Han Xian to support him. The inscription said: "In the evening, the army invited Hou Guo Jia to offer a drink, who was loyal, kind, intelligent, virtuous and beautiful and versatile. Whenever people have different opinions when discussing major issues, he can hit the nail on the head, set the tone in a word, handle it properly and not make a move. Between the armies, I marched east and west for ten years, seized cloth, took self-defense, cut down Yuan Tan, pacified Hebei, crossed the dangerous fortress, swept Mawan, shocked Liaodong and conquered Yuan Shang, and made outstanding achievements. Just as he was about to show his honor, he died unfortunately. It is unforgettable to remember Guo Jiazhi's exploits. Its fiefdoms should be increased, and *** 1000 households should be sealed in the past to praise the dead and encourage future generations. " He warmly praised Guo Jia's loyalty and talent, and expressed deep condolences for Guo Jia's untimely death. After reading the watch, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty appointed Guo Jia as Hou Zhen. Not only that, Cao Cao also loved Guo, the son of Guo Jia, and loved him deeply. He always kept him by his side and raised him many times. It's a pity that Guo also learned from Laozi. He was in poor health and smart, but he also died young.

Guo Jia's stratagem was praised by historians and politicians in past dynasties for his analysis of Cao Cao's theory of ten defeats and ten victories. This is a timeless saying, which is still regrettable today.

Guo Jia's death is really the misfortune of Cao Cao and the people of the Central Plains, otherwise history will be rewritten. Of course, his death also helped an ancient man-Zhuge Liang. Otherwise, if Guo Jia followed Cao Cao's expedition, Zhuge Liang and he would have a lot to watch. But Zhuge Liang is not very accurate in judging people, and his war strategy is not as good as Cao Cao's advisers, especially Guo Jia's resourcefulness. He must be the nemesis of Zhuge Liang who is good at cautious style. The world was unified decades ago. I wept for Guo Fengxiao's death.
