Chen Yan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the late Eastern Han Dynasty and joined Ma Teng's army. At that time, there was endless war in Liangzhou. Ma Teng and Han Sui were inseparable, and they were surrounded by other princes such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Their survival was difficult. Chen Yan has no extraordinary courage or extraordinary skills. He only relies on his solid historical knowledge and pragmatic strategic vision in his mind to assist Ma Teng in integrating various ministries in Liangzhou, resolving the rift with Han Sui, and establishing a stable rear.
He proposed strategies to promote farming, improve ordnance, and strengthen the combat power of the Longyou cavalry; he used his prediction of the current situation to avoid the traps of Dong Zhuo's remaining troops and seize key passes; on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, he cleverly used strategies to connect Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, forming a cornering force. Facing Cao Cao's southward march and the storm in Chibi, he assisted Ma Teng and his son to assess the situation and expand steadily. Based on Liangzhou, they swept through Guanzhong and conquered the Central Plains.
In these troubled times where heroes are emerging, Chen Yan uses his mortal wisdom to help Ma Teng break historical fate and unite the hearts of Longyou. After decades of fighting in the north and south, he finally defeats the heroes and helps the Han Dynasty, creating a new unified pattern that started in Liangzhou and making the reputation of Longyou cavalry resound across the land of China.
