In this week's episode, we cover the entirety of Emperor Jing's reign. With the Rebellion of the Seven States being the focal point of his reign, we listen to see if he can indeed keep the Han on track....and also....it is finally here.....the Han-Xiongnu War...

BATTLE MAP: The Rebellion of the Seven States. As we can see, the Han simply go around “Liang”, which we can see in the middle of the map, and converge around it sweeping up the remains.

This is an extremely old depiction of Emperor Jing found in a tomb.

Where the Xiongnu laid….but the war is here…who will come out on top!
