Chen Mo, a graduate of the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, just as Liu Yan was on his way to Shu. At that time, the world was about to be in chaos, the aftermath of the Yellow Turban was not over, and the princes secretly had different intentions. Although Yizhou was dangerous, there were many factions and the people's livelihood was in decline. Chen Mo had no ability in epigraphy, and only relied on the solid historical context and political common sense in his mind to recommend himself to Liu Yan.
He made suggestions to stabilize internal governance, pacify the conflicts between Dongzhou soldiers and local nobles, promote agriculture, organize officials, and train new troops. Externally, he assessed the situation and helped Liu Yan avoid disputes in the Central Plains. He first took Nanzhong to stabilize the rear, and then opened the door to Hanzhong. Faced with Cao Cao's talent, Liu Bei's reputation, and Sun Quan's Jiangdong foundation, Chen Mo assisted Liu Yan and his son to integrate the power of Yizhou, making progress with stability and gaining ground step by step.
In the midst of conquests and power struggles in troubled times, he leveraged the situation with his mortal wisdom and helped Liu Yan's camp break the fate of partial peace. He rose up against the odds and wiped out the separatist regimes along the way, appeased the refugees, reestablished order, and finally moved forward steadily towards the goal of unifying the country and ending the troubled times, and wrote a different chapter of hegemony in the war of the late Han Dynasty.
