During the Han dynasty, Huo Qubing led the Han army in valiant battles against the Xiongnu, achieving numerous victories. His military prowess and unwavering conviction forced the Xiongnu to retreat, bringing peace to the border people of the Han dynasty.

With Huo Qubing's consecutive victories, the Xiongnu's power in the north weakened. The pressure from the Han army forced the Xiongnu to split into southern and northern factions. The Southern Xiongnu submitted to the Han dynasty, becoming a vassal state. The Northern Xiongnu began migrating westward, seeking new living spaces.

During the long migration process, a portion of the Northern Xiongnu established power in Central Asia, blending with local nomadic tribes and eventually forming the later Gokturk Khaganate. Another group continued migrating westward, eventually reaching Europe, where they interacted with Germanic tribes and other nomadic peoples, evolving into the Huns.

Meanwhile, some Xiongnu people gradually moved southward, crossing the Qilian Mountains and making contact with various Western Region countries. These Xiongnu people integrated into the Western Region, exchanging and merging with local ethnic groups, becoming the ancestors of later states such as Tuyuhun and Gaochang.
