The family sat together happily and chatted, the father was kind and filial to the son, and the husband was virtuous and the wife was kind, such a scene made Guo Jia's wives and concubines feel very happy, and they all watched Guo Jia teach their children with smiles on their faces.

Guo Jin has been frantically absorbing knowledge for the past two years, hoping to keep up with Guo Jia's pace, hoping that what he sees with his eyes, what he thinks and thinks in his heart can be on the same level as Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said that his words were only half true, and Guo Jin was puzzled.

"Where did the child say wrong? Isn't Cao Ying a person who recruits rebellion? Many of the civil and military forces under him are rebel generals, doesn't Cao Ying have the slightest love for Lu Bu? Or does Liu Bei not hate Lu Bu? Lu Bu took his Xuzhou and expelled him from Xiaopei, Liu Bei has no reason not to hate Lu Bu. ”

His face was full of confusion.

Guo Jia asked Guo Ye instead: "Ye'er, what did you say about Jin'er wrong?" ”

Guo Ye pondered for a long time, and he said with great certainty: "Cao Ye likes to recruit rebels, that's right." But Liu Bei provoked Cao Ying to kill Lu Bu, not necessarily out of hatred. Liu Bei did hate Lu Bu, but downstairs in Baimen, Liu Bei's thoughts may be on Cao Ying. ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he raised his head to look at the dignified and elegant Cai Yan, and said lightly: "You taught a good son." ”

Cai Yan shook his head slightly.

When Guo Jin heard this, he immediately asked Guo Jia, "Could it be that the eldest brother is right?" Is Liu Bei thinking about Cao Ying? But if Liu Bei is for Cao Ying's good, he is now in Xuzhou under the banner of being inseparable from Cao Ying. ”

Perhaps, people all over the world agree that people like Lu Bu can't stay, especially can't stay by his side, this person is rebellious and rebellious, and he is also outstanding in force, and if he stays by his side, he will suffer from it sooner or later, Dong Zhuoding Yuan is the best example.

Guo Jia once again set his eyes on Guo Ye and asked, "Ye'er, do you say that if Cao Ying accepts Lu Bu, will it be a pros or a cons?" ”

Guo Ye did not hesitate this time, and immediately said: "If you use it properly, you will benefit, and if you use it improperly, it will be harmful." ”

What is a hero? Those who can convince ordinary people and control talents are heroes.

People are stronger than people to have comparisons, and a large part of the comparison between people and masters is to control talents.

If you are able to control the stronger people, you will be better than the other princes, because then you will get more helpers than others.

The strength of the heroes is often not a comparison of themselves.

Take out Liu Bei, Guo Jia, Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and others separately.

I am afraid that the strongest person in force is Sun Ce, the highest political status is Yuan Shao, and the people with the highest resourcefulness will be Cao Ying and Guo Jia.

But in terms of comprehensive strength, Liu Bei is 108,000 miles away from others, but he is a rare military general like Zhang Fei in the world, he has lost all his life, but he can't die, and he just survives, but around him, he is constantly gathering talents, it seems that he has always been a small person, but he gradually has a capital that cannot be underestimated.

Looking back at the previous and later founding emperors of the country, Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin and others, in their times, in terms of wisdom and force, there are more dazzling figures than them in the same era, but they can achieve the hegemony of the emperor, which is nothing more than the talent of the royal people.

It is easy to subdue the beast, but it is difficult to control the hearts of the people, and the most difficult thing to guess in the world is the hearts of the people.

The difference between the talents of the hegemon is only in the means, Liu Bang has a black belly, Yingzheng is brutal, Li Shimin is open-minded, and so on.

Therefore, in Guo Jia's eyes, the strength of the princes depends not only on the strength of the soldiers and horses, the number of cities and territories, the wealth of the people, but also on the ability of the monarchy to control talents.

Why Cao Ying is stronger than Yuan Shao is not only because he won the battle of Guandu, not only because Cao Ying created the foundation of Cao Wei, the fundamental reason why Guo Jia is jealous is that Cao Ying can use people, dare to use people, and has a unique vision and clever means, no matter how disadvantageous Cao Ying is today, as long as he can still put talents in the most appropriate position, he will not be defeated.

Why Yuan Shao is not worth mentioning in Guo Jia's eyes, not because of Yuan Shao's fate in history, or because of the use of people, Yuan Shao gives his subordinates high-ranking officials, but often can't give full play to their due talents, Tian Feng is frustrated with strategic wizards, Xu You Guo Tu often has a strategy of building a surname, but Yuan Shao can't let them shine, and no matter how famous they are, what's the use?

From this point of view, Guo Jia let Ma Teng and Han Sui return to the northwest at the beginning, and he was really not afraid of the two of them making trouble.

Talent cannot be bound by moral shackles.

Guo Jia's subordinates, Fa Zheng and Peng Yi have typical villain faces, although these two have been beaten by Guo Jia, they sometimes get carried away and show an arrogant posture to their colleagues, because they are high and powerful, because they are valued by Guo Jia.

In terms of moral character, Fa Zheng Zhang Song, who betrayed Liu Zhang in history, is absolutely unqualified, but in terms of talent, they are definitely better than ordinary people.

Guo Jia will not use people as a standard because of high moral character or inferiority.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

This is a cliché, for Guo Jia, no talent can be used, whether it can be controlled depends on the means.

"Jin'er, let me ask you, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, what is the difference between him at that time and him downstairs in the White Gate?"

Guo Jin shook his head, he was not born at all about what happened at that time, and now he knows that it is just hearsay, the oral accounts of the elders, and he does not know the specific situation, and he does not dare to say anything.

Guo Jia touched his head lovingly and said softly: "Let me tell you, when Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, he was a god in the Bingzhou army, and when Lu Bu's name was widely admired among others, when Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo deserved to die, and Lu Bu killed him, and what he got was the name of a hero." Lu Bu downstairs in the White Gate, at the end of his rope, he has lost everything, and even his life is in Cao Ying's hands, in his heart, will he think: I will vote for Cao first, and then oppose Cao later? Where would he have the confidence to believe that Cao Ying would let him die? Before he even got this guarantee, he wouldn't have imagined so far, and Cao Ying's stay with Lu Bu's life does not mean that he will give Lu Bu a chance to make trouble, what kind of person is Lu Bu and how to use it, Cao Ying calms down and thinks about it, and there will definitely be a proper way. ”

In fact, Lu Bu's situation at that time was very complicated, he did not have ambition or a world or the Central Plains, he first followed Ding Yuan when he debuted, and then took refuge in Dong Zhuo, and then was used as a gunman by Wang Yun, after fleeing to Kanto, Lu Bu successively lived in Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, and Yuan Shao, and then self-reliance was mostly inspired and instigated by Chen Gong Zhang Miao and others, and his brain was hot and he fought the world by himself.

From the minister to the lord, and then from the lord to the minister, Lu Bu may not be unacceptable, he fought with Cao Ying twice, the first time in Yanzhou, Lu Bu was defeated, the second time in Xuzhou, Lu Bu became a prisoner, what confidence did he have to betray Cao Ying? Even if Lu Bu can betray Ding Yuan and betray Dong Zhuo, but Ding Yuan's acceptance of Lu Bu can be regarded as a coincidence, Dong Zhuo's acceptance of Lu Bu is a material lure, and Cao Ying's acceptance of Lu Bu is to directly pressure Lu Bu to surrender by force, the difference between heaven and earth, Lu Bu's heart Guo Jia can't guess, but put yourself in your shoes, Lu Bu gave Cao Ying his life, it is not a way out of life, Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo can't control the person, Cao Ying may not be helpless.

Ten years ago, Cao Ying may not have been looked down upon by Lu Bu, but now Cao Ying, who is coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, if Lu Bu betrays, who has a better place to go except for Yuan Shao? But Lu Bu and Yuan Shao have a life-and-death feud, when Lu Bu left Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao once sent someone to escort, but in fact he was assassinated, but fortunately, Lu Bu escaped with his life.

In this context, if Guo Jia were Cao Ying, he would definitely spare Lu Bu's life, as for how to use Lu Bu, then it is another matter, a general like Lu Bu, Guo Jia is also used to charge into battle, and he will never let him be alone.

"Then Liu Bei wants to put Lu Bu to death, isn't it because of hatred?"

After Guo Jin figured out that Cao Ying accepted Lu Bu's feasible surname, he turned the question back to Liu Bei.

In fact, after having the speculation that Cao Ying could collect Lu Bu, Liu Bei obviously had ill intentions, but Liu Bei's starting point was against Lu Bu or Cao Ying?

Guo Jia touched Guo Jin's head and said meaningfully: "Jin'er, you have to remember, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, Liu Bei's words sound like thinking about Cao Ying, and at the same time taking revenge on Lu Bu, but in a blink of an eye, Liu Bei attacked Xuzhou, how did he turn from kindness to hatred for Cao Ying in such a short period of time?" I don't know what he was thinking, but I had to look up to him and not look down on such a seemingly weak person. Cao Ying got Lu Bu, like a tiger with wings, Liu Bei actually wanted to get Lu Bu in his heart, otherwise he would not have taken Lu Bu in the first place, Lu Bu is fierce, famous all over the world, Liu Bei can't sit back and watch Cao Ying be strong, so he has to make Cao Ying make up his mind to kill Lu Bu. ”

You can't get it yourself, and you can't cheapen others.

Perhaps no one agrees with such an explanation, but Liu Bei is by no means a person who puts personal hatred first, otherwise he would not have been able to lick his face and go to Lu Bu to ask for a place to live after Lu Bu's sneak attack on Xuzhou.

If he loses Xuzhou, Liu Bei can bear it, but if he loses Xiaopei, can't he bear it?

Xuzhou was captured by Cao Ying, and Lu Bu had withdrawn from the stage of the princes' struggle for hegemony, how could Liu Bei's eyes still focus on Lu Bu?

After losing the battle for half his life, Liu Bei lost his family and his wife died or was trapped, this kind of scene, he could already accept it calmly, if he was a calculating person, then he had too many enemies, and there were too many people he wanted to take revenge.

Because Guo Jia did not despise Liu Bei, Guo Jia believed that Liu Bei provoked Cao Ying out of the intention of containing Cao Ying, and let Cao Ying personally end Lu Bu's surname.

"The child understands, and he won't underestimate anyone in the future, and he will think about it more when he encounters something."

Guo Jin's attitude made Guo Jia smile.

Stretching his waist, Guo Jia looked down at his little daughter who was already asleep on his lap, looked at the sky, and was just about to call everyone back to prepare dinner, but someone came to report.

"Lord Fei asked to see him, saying that Xiliangma sent Pang De to meet the envoy."
