Zhao Xin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhao Xin (Chinese: 赵信; Wade-Giles: Chao Hsin), was original a marquis of Xiongnu stock, who previously surrendered to the Han Dynasty. His name Zhao Xin was probably adopted through during his service at Han. In 123 BC, he was captured along with Su Jian (who managed to escape) out of six generals led by Wei Qing during an expedition. A fortress named after him was constructed near the Khangay mountains, soon after his submission to Yixixie Chanyu.
