Northern Chanyu (1st century)

The Northern Chanyu (Chinese: 北單于; pinyin: Běi Chányú; Wade–Giles: Pei Ch'anyü, reigned 89–91) was an unnamed and obscure chanyu or ruler of the Xiongnu who lived in the 1st century CE.

In February 91, he was defeated by Geng Kui during the Battle of Ikh Bayan, on an expedition sent by Dou Xian, and thence vanished from history. Some believe that he might have travelled west. His younger bother Yuchujian Chanyu (reigned 91–93) was his sole heir, but was killed by generals Ren Shang and Wang Fu in 93.
