From the early missions of Zhang Qian to the shadowy work of envoys like Gan Ying, they uncover how the Han court used spies, diplomatic gifts, and strategic marriages to outmaneuver the Xiongnu and secure trade routes. Learn about the role of the 'shepherds of the border,' the use of coded messages, and the legendary 'flying horse' diplomacy. Could the Han have had a network of informants stretching from Chang'an to Rome? Tune in for a fascinating look at ancient espionage.
