Kebineng (died 235) was a Xianbei chieftain who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty and Three Kingdoms period of China. He rose to power during the late Eastern Han dynasty after the warlord Cao Cao defeated the Wuhuan tribes in northern China at the Battle of White Wolf Mountain in 207. He was ultimately assassinated by Cao Wei forces in 235.
==Life== Kebineng was initially from a minor Xianbei tribe. As he was brave, fair in his judgment and not greedy, his people elected him as their head chief. His tribe resided near the Great Wall around the areas of Dai and Shanggu commanderies. When the Chinese warlord, Yuan Shao took control of Hebei, many people fled to join Kebineng. These people taught his tribe how to make weapons and armour, and also introduced them to some writing. As a result, Kebineng was able to imitate the Han dynasty's method of commanding an army. When going out to hunt, he would erect flags and used drums to signal an advance or retreat.
