| ARTICLES RELATED TO Meng Tian | | | |  Meng Tian: Encyclopedia II - Xiongnu - Confederation under MaodunIn 209 BC, just three years before the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were brought together in a powerful confederacy under a new chanyu named Maodun (冒頓; Cantonese IPA: /mɐk6 tuk6/). The Xiongnu's political unity transformed them into a much more formidable foe by enabling them to concentrate larger forces and exercise better strategic coordination. The cause of the confederation, however, remains unclear. It has been suggested that the unification of China prompted the nomads to rally around a political centre in orde ...

| | | | | Meng Tian: Encyclopedia II - Xiongnu - Leadership struggle among the Xiongnu As the Xiongnu empire expanded, it became clear that the original leadership structures lacked flexibility and could not maintain effective cohesion. The traditional succession to the eldest son became increasingly ineffective in meeting wartime emergencies in the 1st century BC. To combat the problems of succession, the chanyu Huhanye (58 BC-31 BC) later laid down the rule that his heir apparent must pass the throne on to a younger brother. ...

| | | | | Meng Tian: Encyclopedia II - Xiongnu - War with Han China Han China was making preparations for a military confrontation from the reign of Emperor Wen. The break came in 134 BC, following an abortive trap to ambush the chanyu at Mayi. By that point the empire was consolidated politically, militarily, and financially, and was led by an adventurous pro-war faction at court. In that year, Emperor Wu reversed the decision he had made the year before to renew the peace treaty.
Full scale war broke out in autumn 129 BC, when 40,000 Chinese cavalry made a surprise attack on the Xiongnu at th ...

| | | | | Meng Tian: Encyclopedia II - Xiongnu - The marriage treaty system In the winter of 200 BC, following a siege of Taiyuan, Emperor Gao personally led a military campaign against Modu. At the battle of Baideng, he was ambushed reputedly by 300,000 elite Xiongnu cavalry. The emperor was cut off from supplies and reinforcements for seven days, only narrowly escaping capture.
After the defeat at Pingcheng, the Han emperor abandoned a military solution to the Xiongnu threat. Instead, in 198 BC, the courtier Liu Jing (劉敬) was despatched for negotiations. The peace settlement eventually reached between t ...

| | | | | Meng Tian: Encyclopedia II - Xiongnu - The Xiongnu after the Han Dynasty The complicated ethnic situation of the mixed frontier settlements instituted during the Eastern Han had grave consequences, not fully apprehended by the Chinese government until the end of the 3rd century. At that time, non-Chinese unrest reached alarming proportions along the whole of the Western Jin frontier.
In 304 the descendants of the southern Xiongnu rose in rebellion in Shanxi, taking advantage of the Civil War of the Princes then raging around the Western Jin capital Luoyang. Under the leadership of the sinicised Liu Yuan ...
