After Yufuluo died in 195, Huchuquan succeeded his as
chanyu but remained in exile around
Hedong Commandery due to the Southern Xiongnu rebels that had ousted his family from their domain. Previously, Yufuluo had come into conflict with the warlord,
Cao Cao but appears to have surrendered just before to his death. Shortly after his ascension, his uncle,
Qubei led their forces to aid
Emperor Xian of Han in escaping from
Chang'an to
Luoyang, where he was welcomed by Cao Cao. Qubei later helped escort the emperor to Cao Cao's base at
Xuchang. In 202, Huchuquan rebelled and allied himself with
Yuan Shang, but was defeated by Cao Cao's officer
Zhong Yao, prompting him to surrender. In 206, the
Bing province warlord,
Gao Gan, on the verge of defeat to Cao Cao, personally sought out Huchuquan for help, but he refused. Gao Gan was later killed while fleeing towards
Jing province. In 216, Huchuquan entered the imperial court to pay homage to Emperor Xian. He was given an official rank and detained at
Ye as an honoured prisoner. Meanwhile, Cao Cao had the last vestiges of the Southern Xiongnu rearranged into the Five Divisions and settled around
Taiyuan Commandery. The Five Divisions were supervised by Qubei, while Huchuquan held the nominal title of
chanyu from Ye until his death, after which no new
chanyu was proclaimed. ==See also==
