Historical figures and historical events are two important factors that constitute history. It is precisely because of those people and events that have outstanding achievements that history exists. As recorded in history books or classics, most of them are famous and accomplished figures. There was a very talented general in the Western Han Dynasty. He won a battle and established a century of peace in the Western Han Dynasty. He was recorded in history and will be remembered by future generations. Moreover, he also said the eternal famous saying "Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away". This person is Chen Tang.

Chen Tang’s background was not good. On the contrary, his family was very poor when he was a child. He often had insufficient food and suffered from hunger and cold. Although Chen Tang's family conditions were very poor, he was not willing to be a poor man all his life. He loved reading very much when he was young, and he felt happiest when he was holding a book in his hands.

And he is determined to achieve a career through reading and change his family situation. Reading is indeed something that can bring good luck. Chen Tang armed himself with knowledge through learning and became a knowledgeable person.

Finally, Chen Tang later went to Chang'an, hoping to flex his muscles and achieve a career, but he was very lucky and successfully obtained the official position of Taiguan Xianshicheng. With this "stepping stone", Chen Tang met Marquis Fuping again. Marquis Fuping admired Chen Tang very much. Not only did the two share the same goals in the officialdom, but they also communicated frequently in private and became good friends and good friends who talked about everything. partner.

With the help of Marquis Fuping, Chen Tang developed very smoothly. However, the good times did not last long, and news of his father's death came, disrupting Chen Tang's career plans. During the Western Han Dynasty, people paid great attention to filial piety. If a relative died in the family, they must go back to mourn.

However, Chen Tang knew that if he left his post for a few years, he would most likely lose the opportunity when he came back. So, he decided not to report the news of his father's death, but someone exposed him behind his back, and in the end, Chen Tang was demoted.

Fortunately, Chen Tang himself was talented and could be found wherever he went. Later, Chen Tang was recommended as Lang Guan. After experiencing the previous events, Chen Tang became more aware of the importance of opportunities. At that time, the Western Han Dynasty court was worried about the Xiongnu disturbing the frontier. Chen Tang stepped forward and took the initiative to apply for a mission to the Western Regions. He was also the most difficult Zhizhi Chanyu to apply for an attack.

The Western Han court hated Zhizhi Chanyu very much, because Zhizhi Chanyu did not care about the majesty of the Western Han court at all, and even killed the Western Han envoys sent there many times. At present, there is such a brave self-recommended person, and the court is very optimistic about it. So Chen Tang was sent to attack the Xiongnu.

When attacking the Huns, Chen Tang was partnered with another general, his name was Gan Yanshou. When the two men discussed the tactics of conquest, they adopted the strategy of siege on all sides. However, if you want to attack Zhizhi Chanyu from multiple directions, you must break through several other Xiongnu forces. This risk is very high, and if you fail, the consequences will be serious.

Gan Yanshou wanted to report this issue to the court before making a decision, but Chen Tang felt that the court might not necessarily agree to this. If this approach was denied, they would lose their best opportunity to attack. Chen Tang finally chose to falsely pass on the imperial order, gathered various forces, and captured Zhizhi Shanyu from all directions. After the victory of the war, Chen Tang was not rewarded for falsely conveying imperial orders, but was instead demoted. However, the only battle he participated in and commanded brought peace to the Western Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
