去卑 / Qubei (Southern Xiongnu)

去卑 / Qubei (Southern Xiongnu) enters the wiki through Hanji 991 as the 南匈奴 right wise king invited into the emergency escort coalition around 汉献帝. The transcript renders the name as “去碑”; this page keeps the canonical Qubei form and disambiguates him from broader 匈奴 pages.

Qubei’s source role is narrow: his cavalry joins 李乐, 韩暹, and 胡才 in temporarily defeating 李傕’s side. The victory does not stabilize the court, so Qubei functions here as proof that frontier and irregular forces can preserve the emperor’s body without restoring imperial command.
