Chen Yan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the third year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which coincided with Sun Ce's plan to conquer Jiangdong and conquer the Central Plains. He has no extraordinary powers, and relies only on his solid historical knowledge and insight into the situation of the Three Kingdoms to serve Sun Ce as an ordinary staff member.
Well aware of the hidden dangers of Sun Ce's untimely death, Chen Yan cleverly made suggestions to adjust his travel protection regulations to avoid fatal risks; and combined with the conditions of the times, he proposed to improve the prototype of the Quyuan plow to encourage farmers to accumulate grain, and to rectify military discipline to win over the people. After the foundation of Jiangdong was consolidated, he assisted Sun Ce in joining Liu Kangcao, planned grain routes before the Battle of Chibi, and provided advice to balance all parties in the battle for Jingzhou.
From providing advice behind the scenes to serving as military counselor, Chen Yan used pragmatic strategies that fit the times to help Sun Ce avoid disaster, expand his territory, and strengthen his army. He gradually reversed the trajectory of history, pushed Jiangdong's forces to break through their limitations, and steadily move forward toward the goal of unifying the world.
