Northern Xiongnu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Northern Xiongnu was established in 48 AD when Huduershi appointed his son Punu as the next Shanyu instead of Bi, king of the East. Bi then moved his portion of the Xiongnu into union with China and his people encouraged campaigns against their Northwestern cousins.

48 - 83AD Pu-Nu (蒲奴)
83 - 84AD Sanmolo Otzi (San-Mu-Lu-Tzi)
84 - 89AD Ulugh (Yu-Liu)
89 - 91AD Yu-Chou-Chien

In 91 AD Hunnoi in the west are first mentioned by Tacitus as being near the Caspian Sea. This coincides exactly with Ban Chao (班超)'s campaign against the Northwestern Xiongnu.

91 - 93AD El'tekin
93 - 98AD Panghu

A Northern Xiongnu Shanyu was responsible for driving Yufuluo and his Xiongnu tribes to seek refuge in Shanxi.
