Chen Yan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Yuan Shao was in power in Hebei and became a powerful figure in the world, and became an inconspicuous staff member in the Yuan family's camp. He has no extraordinary powers, only the detailed historical events of the Three Kingdoms in his mind, which is the foundation for settling down in troubled times.
At that time, although Yuan Shao was sitting on Ji Qingyou and annexing the four states, with a cloud of counselors and a rain of fierce generals under his command, he was surrounded by factions within and surrounded by powerful enemies such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. He also missed many good opportunities due to his indecision. Chen Yan was well aware of the fate of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guandu, and was determined to use his meager efforts to turn things around. He was cautious in his words and deeds, took advantage of historical moments to come up with ingenious strategies, reconciled the conflicts of counselors such as Ju Shou and Tian Feng, helped Yan Liang and Wen Chou avoid danger, and gradually gained Yuan Shao's trust.
From rectifying internal affairs, appeasing the refugees, to formulating precise military strategies, Chen Yan worked step by step, trying to change Yuan Jun's arrogant attitude and poor decision-making. In the turbulent and chaotic times, he had to deal with the calculations of all forces and overcome the obstacles of historical inertia. He assisted Yuan Shao with his mortal wisdom, defeated the heroes step by step, and arduously moved forward towards the goal of unifying the country, composing a different legend of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony.
