Chapter Ninety-Eight: Everyone Has His Own Ambition
"You are not my friend, and I do not have any problems with you. I really don't understand how Wen Ruo has a dull friend like you? Guo Jia turned his head away and said disdainfully.
Chen Qun and Guo Jia both studied in Yingyin, and they were both friends of Xun Yu.
Although Chen Qun and Guo Jia were young, Xun Yu saw that the two of them were talented. Because Xun Yu has an easy-going personality and doesn't care about Guo Jia's background and debauchery habits, Guo Jia and Xun Yu have a very good relationship.
The first hero of Cao Cao's establishment of hegemony in later generations is undoubtedly Xun Yu.
If you talk about Cao Cao's first adviser? Most people will choose Guo Jia.
If it weren't for the jealousy of talent, Guo Jia would have died young. The light he left behind in the sky of history is likely to be comparable to Zhuge Liang.
Governance is long, conspiracy is short, and the work of the people is better than the general's strategy.
This is Chen Shou's evaluation of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is good at managing the army and governing the army strictly, but he is deficient in the use of clever schemes. The ability to improvise is not what he is good at. Zhuge Liang led the troops to fight with stability. There was no major failure in all his life, and he resisted Cao Wei for decades with the strength of a state.
Zhuge Liang's most powerful point is to govern the country, after each Northern Expedition, he can quickly restore his national strength, and the people of Shu Han do not leave any stone unturned, and do not close their doors at night. Wave the army to pacify the barbarians and make them obedient. Expand the territory for China.
Because of his merits and virtues, Zhuge Liang is known as "the unparalleled warrior since the two Han Dynasty, and the first person after three generations." ”
Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms mythologizes Zhuge Liang, it has some unscrupulous means to achieve the goal. I can't afford to call it at all.
When Zhuge Liang was alive, he said to Liu Chan: "CD has 800 mulberry plants, 15 acres of thin fields, and the children have food and clothing, and they have their own surplus." As for the ministers in the field, there is no other arrangement, food and clothing, all rely on the officials, do not govern the life, to the long size. If on the day of the death of the minister, there will be no surplus silk inside, and no wealth outside, so as to bear your majesty. ”
After Zhuge Liang died, it was as he said.
In history, Zhuge Liang started from the mountain, and finally became the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, recording the Shangshu order, under one person, above ten thousand people. Among them, countless meritorious contributions have been made, Liu Bei and Liu Chan have rewarded countless people, and Yu Lu or something is also the highest.
But when he died, he was penniless, so that there was no surplus silk inside and wealth outside, and his descendants relied on their own industrial life when they farmed in Longzhong, and they were self-sufficient and self-reliant.
As an official, to this extent, it can be said that he is the most popular among ministers, and later Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei, etc., none of them have inherited Zhuge Liang's incorruptible style. This is all about doing your best and dying.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms can only read Zhuge Liang's wisdom and wisdom. Zhuge Liang's integrity and honesty in history are the most respectable. Successive dynasties have respected Zhuge Liang, not just because of his loyalty.
Every move of the saint is in line with the way of heaven and earth, so it can be passed down through the ages; Every move of a virtuous person cannot transcend the law, so he has become a master of eternity.
Guo Jia is a native of Yangzhai, Yingchuan. The Yingchuan area was the largest talent pool in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and five or six out of ten of the strategists who gave advice to the princes of all walks of life at that time were from the Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang areas.
Guo Jia showed extraordinary wisdom at a very young age, and he was very fond of talking to the elderly, often with very original insights in the process, and the elders were often ashamed of themselves.
Guo Jia is a scholar from a poor family, and because of economic conditions, he has limited books to read. A scholar from other places came to Yangzhai and was amazed when he saw Guo Jia, thinking that he was a "genius of the world". discussed with his parents and took Guo Jia to study in Yingyin. At this time, Guo Jiagang had not been in Yingyin for a long time.
The young Guo Jia is confident and tall, likes to be unrestrained, is very picky about making friends, and only interacts with people with lofty ideals in his mind. But he was very sincere and warm to his friends.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yang Zhai was soon captured by the Yellow Turban. Guo Jia, who stayed in Yingyin, could imagine how anxious he was. Because his parents are impotent.
There are more than enough hearts but not enough strength, there are yellow scarves everywhere outside, Guo Jia can't go back to his hometown to protect his parents, even if he goes back, there is no way.
The appearance of Liu Fan changed all this. He opened a warehouse to release grain, and he didn't know how many people he had rescued who couldn't survive because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Guo Jia's parents were one of them.
After Yingyin heard that Yang Zhai had been pacified, Guo Jia couldn't wait to return home. Seeing that his parents were safe and sound, Guo Jia was relieved, and when he learned about Liu Fan's behavior from his parents, Guo Jia was very moved.
Chen Qun and others came to Yangzhai because they admired Liu Fan after hearing the news that Liu Fan was in Yangzhai. What they saw and heard was an eye-opener for them.
Chen Qun admired Liu Fan's talent, his benevolence, his love for the people like a son, his military talent as a soldier who surrendered without a fight, and his rigorous method of governing the army.
Liu Fan is a champion, with the courage of ten thousand people, but he likes to fight without blood, this is the real good general. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, only Liu Fan has the talent to rule the troubled times.
Guo Jia and Chen Qun came together purely by coincidence, not like-minded people.
"Brother Wen Ruo is a child of the Yingchuan clan, and he is the leader in the clan, and I am closely connected with Brother Wen Ruo and move forward side by side. How can you, a prodigal son, understand? Chen Qun didn't give Guo Jia a good face.
Although Chen Qun is not a gentleman, the family has the pride of the family. His words were vague, but clear. He Chen Qun is a big family, and you Guo Jia is a scholar from a poor family.
"Wealth and power are just a cloud on my head, and I can catch them with my hand. I have no conspiration with you. Guo Jia glared angrily at Chen Qun.
"Everyone is a classmate, why do you have to sit separately and speak together." A gentleman stepped forward to persuade the two.
Guo Jia didn't listen to the advice of the scholar, left here, and chased Liu Fan in all directions.
Boyi and Shu Qiyi did not eat Zhou Su and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain. Some say they are stupid, some say they are righteous.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and they should not be forced.
