Chen Yan, a graduate of the Department of Modern History, accidentally time-traveled and became an ordinary aide under Gongsun Zan at the time when he was powerful in northern Xinjiang and at war with Yuan Shao. He has no supernatural powers, and only relies on his accurate understanding of the general trend of the Three Kingdoms and pragmatic strategies to gradually gain Gongsun Zan's trust.
Faced with the shortcomings of Gongsun Zan's stubbornness, the dilemma of numerous internal factions, and the support of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other princes, Chen Yan took every step: first, he proposed strategies to stabilize Youyan's defense line, integrate the combat power of Baima Yicong and the border troops, appease Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes to relieve their worries; then unite alliances to contain powerful enemies, seize the opportunity to encroach on surrounding forces, and reform internal affairs to strengthen the foundation.
From the dangerous victory in the Battle of Jieqiao to the alliance in the Central Plains, Chen Yan assisted Gongsun Zan with his mortal wisdom, corrected the key mistakes that led to his defeat in the historical trajectory, led the Youyan cavalry to break through the siege, fought fiercely in the smoke of troubled times, and finally made steady progress towards the goal of unifying the country, composing an iron-blooded legend belonging to the white horse general and the counselor from another world.
