Guo Jia has followed Cao Cao since he was 28 years old. In just ten years, he helped Cao Cao capture Lu Bu, defeat Liu Bei, send troops to Guandu, predict the movements of Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei, and annihilate Yuan Shao, whose combat power was several times that of Cao Cao. Then he conquered Yuan Shao's ally Karasuma, eliminated two Yuan, and finally occupied the northern land. Among them, every decision Cao Cao made based on what Guo Jia said was almost always successful.
After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao first suffered a defeat in the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Tongguan and Ma Chao were also unfavorable, and he personally led an army to defeat Liu Bei in the Battle of Hanzhong but failed. When the aura of constant victory disappeared, people had to sigh: If Guo Jia, the king of decision-making, was still by Cao Cao's side, what would be the outcome?
No wonder Cao Cao said this after his defeat in Chibi: "Guo Fengxiao is here, so he won't be alone here."
