The full-text translation of Guo Jia's admonition against Cao Cao against Wu Huan

Cao Cao intends to crusade against Yuan Shang and Wuwan in the three northern counties. Most of his subordinates are worried that Liu Biao will send Liu Bei to attack Xu Du to punish Mao. Guo Jia said, "Although Cao Gong is a great country in the world, the Hu people have a long way to go, so we must take precautions. When they are unprepared, suddenly attacking them can break through and destroy them.

At present, the people of the four States are attached to me only because I have an epiphany, and goodwill is not imposed. Once the Hu people make any moves, the people will all respond, which will make Ta Dun ambitious and contribute to the plan to recover lost territory. I'm afraid Qingzhou and Jizhou will not be controlled by us.

When he arrived at Yidi, Guo said, "The soldiers are very expensive. Nowadays, there are too many attacks on the enemy thousands of miles away, so we can't give benefits immediately. Besides, when they hear the news of our expedition, they will definitely be prepared for the battle. It is better to leave the trenches and attack them by surprise. "

Mao then secretly set out from Lulong fortress and went straight to Khan's residence. The conference semifinals suddenly heard Mao coming and fought in horror. Mao swept the board and killed Ta Dun and other distinguished conference semifinals. Yuan Shang and his younger brother Yuan fled to Liaodong.

Cao Cao will attack Wu Huan. How afraid the generals were that Liu Biao would let Liu Bei attack Xu. Guo Jia said: "Although you are a world power, you will not be equipped because you are not prepared. If you break it, it will be shattered.

Yuan Shao was kind to the people, while the Shang brothers survived. Nowadays, the people in the four States have to sacrifice their lives for justice and travel to the south. When the Hu people move, the people and barbarians have to respond, so that the heart of the tower shield can be born and become a coveted plan. They are afraid of being green in the north of Hebei. Self-knowledge is not enough for defense, but it is useless to take it lightly. Although the virtual country expedition, the public has no worries. "Fuck it.

Creative background:

Sima Guang once suffered from a large number of historical books, and it was difficult for scholars to browse them all. Because he wanted to summarize the main points, he wrote a biographical history. Tongzhi, published in eight volumes, appeared in North Korea from the Warring States to Qin Ershi, which attracted the attention of Song Yingzong. After three years of Zhiping (1066), he ordered the publishing house to be located in Chongwen Academy to continue compiling. Song Shenzong acceded to the throne and was given the title of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which was awarded in turn. This book was written in the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084).

Mirror Mirror was composed by Sima Guang and co-edited by Liu Shu, Liu Ban and Fan Zuyu. Liu Shu learned from others and had a deep memory. He tried his best to compile A Mirror, from Xiashi in Historical Records to Zayan in Private Records.

Liu Ban in Hanshu and Fan Zuyu in Tang Shi both have deep research. They worked together and made important contributions to each other. Finally, it was revised, polished and finalized by Sima Guang. Among them, right and wrong were taken away, and light was extinguished.

Tong Jian was carefully finalized by Sima Guang, with unified rhetoric, beautiful words and vivid narration, which has high literary value. It has been listed as a masterpiece of ancient historians in China along with Historical Records.

In addition to narratives, he also selected 97 historical papers of predecessors and wrote 1 18 historical papers in the form of Yue, which reflected the author's political historical view. It is an important progress of historical thought to take a critical attitude towards religious superstitions such as divination and Buddhism and Taoism in history.
