Chen Yan, a graduate of the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the Shu Han Dynasty after the defeat of Yiling and became a minor official in Chengdu Prefecture. At that time, Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had just ascended to the throne. At home, Zhuge Liang was working hard but could not hide the undercurrent of factionalism. Outside, Cao Wei was watching with eager eyes, and Soochow was watching from across the river. The national power of the Shu Han Dynasty was in decline, and signs of national subjugation had appeared.
Chen Yan does not have extraordinary powers, but relies on his solid knowledge of the history of the Three Kingdoms. He started by rectifying local grain taxes and gradually showed his talents. He advised Zhuge Liang to adjust the pace of the Northern Expedition and focus on grain and grass reserves to avoid the hidden danger of losing the street pavilion; he also secretly assisted Liu Chan in familiarizing himself with government affairs and guided him to balance the relationship between the old Yizhou ministry and the Jingzhou group.
Relying on his grasp of historical nodes, Chen Yan repeatedly offered pragmatic strategies, first consolidating the foundation of Bashu, and then uniting with Soochow to contain Cao Wei. Finally, he helped Liu Chan get rid of the shackles of the "faint emperor", consolidate the national power of Shu Han, reverse the decline step by step, and embark on the journey to unify the world.
