Raids on Savage Tribes. The terror inspired by the raiding Huns finds frequent expression in early Chinese literature. During the reign of the fourth Emperor; Bc.179-156; the growing power of this race was a source of grave anxiety; and in BC 99 a general named Li Ling penetrated into Hun territory with only five thousand men. Surrounded by thirty thousand of the enemy; he was forced to surrender; whereupon he swore allegiance to the Khan; whose daughter he married; and remained among the Huns until his death; some twenty years later.
