Chen Mo, a graduate of the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to Yuan Shao's camp after the Dong Dong Alliance was disbanded at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and became an ordinary staff member. He does not have any extraordinary abilities, but relies on his solid historical knowledge to understand the potential dangers of factional strife and military decisions within the Yuan Shao Group, and also understands the strength and weakness of the princes in the world.
Chen Mo was not taken seriously at first, but he distinguished himself by analyzing the shortcomings of Jizhou's officialdom and proposing a grain and grass reserve plan tailored to local conditions, and gradually gained Yuan Shao's attention. Faced with the problem of Yan Liang and Wen Chou relying on bravery and frivolous tactics, he offered suggestions to optimize the deployment of leading troops; in response to the conflict between Shen Pei and Guo Tu, he focused on the situation and reconciled it.
In the confrontation with Cao Cao, Lu Bu and other princes, Chen Mo repeatedly circumvented Yuan Shao's original strategic mistakes and helped him advance his goal of consolidating the foundation of Hebei and gradually rewriting the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty.
