Guo Jia (17-27) was born in Yang Zhai, Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a famous strategist, Cao Cao's adviser, was known as a "ghost talent" and was one of the most effective advisers under Cao Cao. Later, when Cao Cao conquered Wuwan, he died at the age of 38.
Guo Jia was ambitious and knowledgeable since childhood. When chaos began in the world, he studied hard behind closed doors for a long time, and finally mastered extensive political, military and historical knowledge, forming his own unique political views. When he was about 2 years old, it was at the beginning of the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was still hiding his name and had not yet shown his edge. But secretly, he usually doesn't socialize with laymen, but pays great attention to making friends with heroes. Therefore, at that time, most people didn't know his talents, and only those handsome people who knew him and shared the same interests valued his talents. In the early years, I heard that Yuan Shao was thirsty for talents, so he went there. However, it soon became clear that Yuan Shao was too ambitious, too resourceful to decide, too talented to use, and it was difficult to help the world with * * *. He said to Xin Ping and Guo Tu, who were counselors under Yuan Shao's account, "A wise man judges the ruler, so he can do everything and achieve fame.". Yuangong wanted to be the corporal of the Duke of Zhou, but he didn't know the opportunity to choose people. If you want more than you want, you will have no decision. If you want to help the world with * * *, it will be a great disaster, and it will be difficult to decide the business of the overlord! " (The History of the Three Kingdoms. Wei Shu. Guo Jiachuan) also said: "I will strive for the Lord even more, and my son will die!" However, the two men said, "Yuan's family is kind to the world, and many people return to it, and now it is the strongest. What should we do?" Guo Jiazhi and his wife didn't find Yuan Shao's shortcomings, so they said nothing more and left resolutely. In this way, Guo Jia has been idle for six years.
