Chen Mo, a modern history enthusiast, accidentally traveled to Liaodong in the 12th year of Jian'an and became an inconspicuous reporter under Gongsun Kang. At that time, although the Gongsun family ruled in Liaodong, they were faced with the pressure of Cao Cao's northern expedition, the prying eyes of the Wuhuan tribe, and loose internal governance.
Chen Mo had no extraordinary power, but relied on his familiarity with the context of the Three Kingdoms in his mind to secretly offer advice to Gongsun Kang: first rectify the affairs of the officials and stabilize the people's livelihood, then reclaim wasteland and farmland, smelt iron and cast iron to lay a solid foundation, improve Liaodong cavalry tactics, and unite the well-meaning Xianbei tribe to stabilize the border. He helped Gongsun Kang calmly deal with the heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, and temporarily avoided Cao Cao's attack. When Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou south, he took the opportunity to conquer the Liaodong counties and gradually encroached on the You and Ji lands.
In the following decades, Chen Mo always assisted the Gongsun family, fighting steadily in the troubled times where heroes were vying for the throne. By accumulating strength in a corner of Liaodong, he finally pushed the Gongsun family out of Liaodong, wiped out the separatist forces of Wei, Shu and Wu, and moved step by step towards unifying the world.
