Chen Mo, a modern history researcher, accidentally traveled to the land of Youyan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It happened that Gongsun Zan was first gaining power, but he was trapped in the dilemma of Yuan Shao's restraint and internal military morale. As an ordinary person without any "golden fingers", he gradually gained Gongsun Zan's trust based on his accurate understanding of the situation in the Three Kingdoms and pragmatic strategies.
He first made suggestions to rectify the "White Horse Yicon", optimize cavalry coordination tactics, and strengthen their assault capabilities; then he used Youyan's salt and iron resources to improve ordnance, appease the Hu and Han residents on the border, and stabilize the rear. On the eve of the Battle of Jieqiao, he predicted Yuan Shao's army's deployment and promptly adjusted Gongsun Zan's defense line, avoiding the crisis of the main force being defeated.
Faced with Gongsun Zan's suspicious character and the factional conflicts within the camp, Chen Mo worked step by step to reconcile the differences among the generals, promote practical talents from poor families, and help Gongsun Zan gradually reverse his decline against Yuan. He then wiped out the northern princes and pushed hard towards the goal of unifying the country, trying to rewrite the historical fate of the "White Horse General"'s ultimate defeat.
