• ... that Guo Jia (pictured), an advisor to Cao Cao, had already foreseen that Cao would win the Battle of Guandu against Yuan Shao when he pointed out ten advantages Cao had over Yuan four years before the battle?

• Reviewed: I have only three DYK credits as of now, so I believe I am exempt from this review requirement until I have five or more DYK credits.

• This substantial article is a five-fold expansion. It is new enough and long enough. I have made no attempt to tackle the Chinese language references but the hook is sourced and the image is in the public domain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you for the review. The reference for the hook is a direct translation of some lines from Guo Jia's biography in the historical text Records of the Three Kingdoms. The lines are in Classical Chinese. You may approach any translator from Wikipedia:WikiProject China/Translation#Translators who reads Classical Chinese to verify, if you wish.
