Huo Qubing or Why Nepotism's Not All Bad

from The Master of Demon Gorge: A Chinese History Podcast · host William Han

Hu Qubing was one of the most remarkable and meteoric military figures in Han Dynasty China during the second century B.C.

But in his brief but brilliant career, he left an indelible mark on Chinese and world history.Support the show
