Fans of the Three Kingdoms certainly know that Quach Gia is a talented strategist under Cao Cao. Many opinions even say that Quach Gia’s talent surpasses that of Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang probably doesn’t have to say much.
After Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, he was like a tiger growing wings, from nothing he could dominate a direction.
However, the time when Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to leave the mountain was when Guo Jia passed away.
That’s why later generations appeared the rumor `Guo Gia is immortal, Ngoa Long cannot appear`.
But in the end, Gia and Luong did not have a direct competition, nor did they appear at the same time, so it is difficult to conclude who is better.
During his time working for Cao Cao, Guo Jia proposed many ideas, such as the `Education of Ten Victories and Low Defeats` to encourage Cao Cao’s spirit to fight Yuan Shao.
When Cao Cao became discouraged and wanted to withdraw his army when he could not defeat Lu Bu, Guo Jia advised him to continue persevering, and indeed, Lu Bu fell not long after.
At that time, Guo Jia was considered the number one strategist of the Cao Wei army. It was only a pity that he had a short life.
This time was also when Liu Bei had just successfully invited Zhuge Liang to come down the mountain to help his cause.
However, if we put it that way, there is still another strategist, and if this person does not die, Quach Gia will not have the opportunity to show his talent.
Guo Jia was originally Yuan Shao’s man, but because he realized that Thieu was a difficult person to make a great career, he transferred to Cao Cao’s army.
Tuan Uc was the one who recommended Quach Gia, but the reason was because Hi Chi Tai – Cao Cao’s first strategist at that time had just passed away.
As soon as Dong Trac was promoted to the position of Grand Master, Chi Tai soon told Cao Thao: `Dong Trac was born cruel, unpopular with people, sooner or later he would be killed by villains, even if he was lucky to survive, he would
At the same time, his son advised Cao Cao to quickly leave Luoyang to avoid encountering tragedy at the hands of Dong Zhuo.
Another time, when he sent troops to attack Dao Khiem, Cao Cao ordered Tran Cung and Truong Mac to defend Duyen Chau.
Chi Tai tried to dissuade him: `Tran Cung and Truong Mac cannot handle this. Please choose another general to stay and guard`, but Cao Cao did not listen.
Certainly not beyond Chi Tai’s worries, after Cao Cao sent out his troops, Tran Also and Truong Mac rebelled, opening the door for Lu Bu to enter Duyen Chau.
Fortunately, Tuan Uc and Trinh Duc promptly responded, allowing Cao Cao to retain three strongholds.
Hi Chi Tai later fell seriously ill and passed away.
Thai To told Tuan Uc: `Since the day Hi Chi Tai passed away, I have had almost no one to discuss important plans with.
You have been in the Dinh Xuyen area for a long time, there are many famous scholars, see if anyone can replace Hi Chi Tai’s task?`.
That’s why Tuan Uc later recommended Quach Gia to Cao Cao.
So besides the opinion `Guo Jia did not die, Zhuge Liang did not go out`, many people also believe that if Chi Tai had not died prematurely, Quach Gia would not have had the opportunity to rise to become the `first strategist`.
