Romance of the Three Kingdoms about Guo Jia and Xu Shujin

Feng Huajue Friend, I want to refute you a few words: "My defeat is not a crime of war, but a matter of time. Yu is still like this, let alone!

The sentence is what Cao Cao said for General An after his defeat, and it has nothing to do with his victory or defeat, and it has nothing to do with Guo Jia and Xu Shu! As for the landlord asked, if Cao Cao's first strategist Guo Jia did not die, would Chibi fail, I personally feel that if Guo Jia did not die, there would be no battle of Chibi, because Guo Jia would not let Liu Bei run away before, and if there was no Liu Bei's run, there would be no Chibi, like friends who like Liu Bei here may not like what I said, but don't forget that the year Guo Jia died was the year Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, don't you think it's a bit too coincidental? There is also the fact that if Xu Shu really took refuge in Cao Cao, the Battle of Chibi would still be lost, because Cao Cao's defeat at that time was not a problem of the strategists, it was because he was about to send troops to Dongwu because of the destruction of Yuan Shaoding Jingzhou, if Dongwu was destroyed, the world would be unified, and at that time Cao Cao led more than 800,000 soldiers and horses, which was the most time he led troops in his life, so it was inevitable to be a little proud, but pride was the main reason for his Chibi failure, because in Cao Ying, he saw that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's plan to burn was not Xu Shu. There is also a Cheng Yu, and Che is still in front of Cao Cao's words, so Cao Cao's defeat is not a matter of strategists, let alone the battle of Chibi that the Chongliu faction headed by Luo Guanzhong thinks that the battle of Chibi depends on Zhuge Liang alone, it is just a way to set off Liu Bei by mythologizing Zhuge Liang, so my summary is:

The main reason for the failure of Cao Cao's Chibi is Cao Cao's pride, if Guo Jia is not dead, then Liu Bei will not survive, even if he is related to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, because Guo Jia will not leave Liu Bei such a confidant to Cao Cao, and if Guo Jia dies Xu Shu really voted for Cao Cao, then the battle of Chibi will still be lost, and it will be a fiasco, because first, Cao Cao will not trust Xu Shu very much, and the second and most important reason is that Cao Cao has pride! The above are my personal views and opinions on Guo Jia and Xu Shu playing a role in Cao Cao's victory or defeat by Cao Cao's side, if it is not right, I hope you will point out the criticism, thank you!

I think it was Xu Shu who recommended Zhuge Liang.

Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia, for Cao Cao, it was more of the icing on the cake, of course, Cao Cao's strength at that time was far less powerful than after the unification of the north, but it was not too weak. With Cao Cao's situation at that time, Guo Jia should be regarded as a reinforcement, without him, maybe Cao Cao would take some detours, but it may not be that there is no chance to unify the north.

And Xu Shu's recommendation of Zhuge Liang, for Liu Bei, should be regarded as a send-off in the snow, with Liu Bei's situation at the time, whether there is Zhuge Liang or not is really a huge difference, if there is no Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei may not take some detours.

Therefore, it is not better than Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang who is stronger and who is weaker, just looking at the benefits and values they bring to their respective groups, there is no doubt that the value that Zhuge Liang brought to Liu Bei is stronger than what Guo Jia brought to Cao Cao.
