Foreign affairs
In foreign affairs, the Huns caused little trouble. Their Shan-yü
Hu-han-hsieh had submitted himself to the Chinese in the preceding reign,
and the Chinese continued to support him with large grants of grain. A
large band of Huns who had been domiciled in Chinese territory escaped
and joined him (9: 3a). The Western Ch'iang in the present Kansu
rebelled when the harvest failed; but they were routed and driven out
of Chinese territory.
