Biography

Yu was the eldest surviving son of Wuzhuliu Chanyu upon his death in 13 AD, but Yu was passed over in succession in favor of his half-brother, the Wulei Chanyu. When Wulei died in 18 AD, Yu succeeded him as the Huduershidaogao Chanyu.[1]

In 19 AD, Wang Mang set up Xubu Chanyu as a rival to Huduershidaogao and stationed a large army on the frontier. Xubu died soon afterward and the army never set out.[2][1]

Huduershidaogao killed his half-brother Yituzhiyashi who was next in line to the throne and pro-Chinese.[2]

In 24 AD, the Gengshi Emperor sent an embassy to the Xiongnu, but Huduershidaogao felt that they did not pay him proper respect. The Gengshi Emperor died in 25 AD.[2][1]

In 28 AD, Huduershidaogao attacked Emperor Guangwu of Han but was defeated.[3]

In 35 AD, the Xiongnu forced the Han to withdraw from Shuofang Commandery.[3]

In 37 AD, the warlord Lu Fang was defeated and fled to the Xiongnu court.[3]

In 44 AD, Xiongnu raiding parties reached as far as Tianshui, Youfufeng, and Shangdang commanderies.[3]

In 45 AD, a Xiongnu raid attacked Zhongshan Commandery.[3]

In 46 AD, Huduershidaogao died at the age of 80 and was succeeded by his son Wudadihou.[4]
