Northern Chanyu
Template:Short description Template:Infobox royalty
The Northern Chanyu (Template:Zh, reigned 89–91) was an obscure chanyu or ruler of the Xiongnu who lived in the 1st century CE whose name is unkown.
In February 91 CE, 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 (reigned 91–93) was his sole heir, but was killed by generals Ren Shang and Wang Fu in 93.Template:Sfn
According to the Book of Wei, the remnants of the Northern Chanyu's tribe, whom Lev Gumilyov termed "Weak Xiongnu", settled, as Yueban, near Kucha and Wusun; while the rest fled across the Altai Mountains towards Kangju.[1][2]
