The Xiongnu were a confederation of nomadic peoples who inhabited the eastern Eurasian Steppe north of China from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE.[1]
From at least the 3rd century BCE,[1] the Xiongnu have led raids into China.[2] In response, Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of the Great Wall to defend against the raiders. [citation needed] One such person who participated in its defense was the adopted child of Wei Yu,[2] who assassinated the Emperor in 210 BCE.[3]
