167. 570s BC part 1 - China - The Battle of Yanling
We're in the heart of the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. Our time now is the pre-dawn of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism with the states in the central plains at each other's throats as usual. Today we have small battles and intrigue, culminating in another showdown between Jin and Chu. Plus we have our first meeting with Lao Tzu the founder of Taoism, and DEFINITELY listen to the end to hear some reviews... one is a bit shocking!
