Chapter 433 – Winter Chaos – Part 2
Liu Yan was enraged, yet he hesitated if he should kill Guo Jia right here.
In the history and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guo Jia was known to be a farsighted individual. Under the service of Cao Cao, he predicted many outcomes of various events and advised his lord of the most efficient action against other hostile warlords.
Guo Jia predicted Liu Bei's Uprising, Sun Ce's Demise, and Yuan Shao's Defeat. He set up countermeasures and capitalized every opportunity he had, resulting in the advantage of Cao Cao Army. Also, the Campaign against Lu Bu and the Campaign against Yuan Shao's Sons became successful under his guidance.
His insight was so significant that he was sometimes compared to Zhuge Liang in various What-If Scenarios. Many modern scholars debated if Guo Jia might have been able to defeat Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu during the Battle of Chibi had he been alive by that time.
