Northern Chanyu
text:
The Northern Chanyu was an unnamed and obscure chanyu or ruler of the Xiongnu who lived in the 1st century CE. In February 91, he was defeated by Geng Kui during the Battle of the Altai Mountains, on an expedition sent by Dou Xian. His younger brother Yuchujian Chanyu was his sole heir, but was killed by generals Ren Shang and Wang Fu in 93. The ideal situation on the frontier was to have a non-Chinese ruler so powerful within his own lands that his orders were obeyed but so dependent on Chinese
