Chen Mo, a modern history enthusiast, accidentally traveled to Liangzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It coincided with the beginning of Ma Teng's power but internal and external troubles - the alliance with Han Sui was crumbling, Cao Cao was eyeing the northwest, the army was short of food and weapons, and military discipline was loose.
Chen Mo, who had no golden fingers, could only rely on his familiarity with the historical trends of the Three Kingdoms to start with the details. He offered suggestions to Ma Teng to rectify military discipline and improve farming to alleviate the food shortage. He also analyzed the pros and cons to persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui to make peace and consolidate the foundation of the northwest. Later, he took advantage of historical opportunities to help Ma Teng recruit talents and train cavalry. He took advantage of the Liangzhou cavalry to gain a foothold in the confrontation with the Qiang and Hu, and gradually encroached on surrounding forces.
When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were competing in the Central Plains, Chen Mo advocated temporarily avoiding the enemy and accumulating strength, and then marching eastward when both sides were hurt. Since then, Ma Teng's camp has gradually embarked on a journey to conquer the Central Plains and conquer the world from a separatist force in the northwest corner, and Chen Mo has also become a key driver in rewriting history in these troubled times, helping Ma Teng steadily move towards the goal of unifying the country.
