In the first year of Yuanshuo, the Xiongnu Empire, which was founded by Maodun Chanyu and had occupied the grasslands for more than half a century, finally collapsed due to constant natural disasters and the Han army's successive Victor Zhaoies.
It’s not that the Huns are not strong enough, but that the Han army is stronger.
The grasslands have been plagued for years, the population has dropped sharply, and the young and strong have been killed in battles. The number of newborns has decreased year by year, and the strength of the tribe has been visibly declining. In addition, the Han army has been pressing hard, and the royal court has misjudged the situation and made wrong decisions. The Xiongnu has been pushed to the edge of the cliff. Even if Maodun is reborn, he may not be able to solve all the problems.
The Battle of Shuofang was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Xiongnu.
In this battle, Junchen Shanyu and Youxian King were killed successively, and Zuoxian King Yushan was captured and executed after being taken to Chang'an.
