Swords forged by poor families: Chen Tang and the thousand-year soul of Han Dynasty
The counterattack of Chen Tang, an atypical grassroots young man from the Western Han Dynasty. In his early years, he was "from a poor family and had no means of borrowing money," but he had ambitions for the Western Regions. He was imprisoned for concealing his father's death and seeking an official position, but he still did not change his ambition.
In the third year of Jianzhao's reign, Chen Tang, who served as the deputy captain of the Western Regions, faced the atrocities committed by the Zhizhi Chanyu who killed Han envoys and threatened the Western Regions. He resolutely falsely conveyed the imperial edict, assembled 40,000 Han and Hu coalition troops, and rushed thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Xiongnu.
"The people have gathered, do you want to suppress the evil spirits?" Chen Tang followed the sword and led his army to defeat the enemy and behead them, achieving an unparalleled feat. The nine words in the victory report, "Those who openly attack the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away", are like thunder that shook for thousands of years.
A child from a poor family changes his destiny with his courage and becomes a prince with his military exploits. Its sound has traveled through two thousand years and is still flowing in the blood of China, witnessing the unyielding soul of a nation.
