The Battle of Ikh Bayan, was a major expedition launched against the Xiongnu by the Han Dynasty on June, 89. The battle was a success for the Han, who were led majority by Dou Xian. On the June of 89 the Han dispatched a force advanced from Jilu, Manyi and Guyang in three great columns, comprised of auxiliaries, specifically the main army of the Southern Xiongnu. With minimal opposition they advanced towards Gobi Altayn in present day Mongolia. A large detachment then moved to the northwest, and in the major battle of the campaign they defeated the Northern Chanyu at Ikh Bayan and pursued him westwards into the Altayn Nuruu ranges. Dou Xian brought the main body of his troops in triumphal progress north to the Hangayn Nuuru, west of present day Harhorin. There he erected the Stele of Yanran ^[1], composed by his client, the historian Ban Gu, which celebrated the achievement of the battle.

Aftermath

After the battle, Dou Xian led his forces back, and the Northern Chanyu sought to negotiate peace. The Southern Chanyu Tuntuhe, however, was anxious to destroy his rival completely, and early in the 90, as embassies were still being exchanged, he launched an attack, captured his seal and treasure and his wives and daughters. Dou Xian now reported that the Northern Chanyu was so weak there was no point in treating with him further, and in February, 91, he dispatched a final attack commissioned Geng Kui and Ren Shang from Juyan defeated the chanyu, captured his mother and killed 5,000 of his armies, drove him in flight again to the west from Altayn Nuruu. He was not heard of again. By 93, those of the 100,000 followers in Mongolian steppe who failed to surrender now called themselves Xianbei, not Xiongnu, and would have eventually emerged as the main body of Toba and Juan Juan later in between 3rd and 4th-century, its former territory was steadily taken over by the tribes of Xianbei from the northeast. While the rest of the Xiongnu left in Dzungaria ^[2], specifically in Lake Barkol, had not been directly affected, and some part of the shattered polity was reconstructed under a new chanyu, but was killed until 93, no chanyu, however, with an exception for Southern Xiongnu was ever heard of again ^[3]. On the frontier of China which faced present day Mongolia, the Xiongnu state was ended.
