Tuntuhe (), the Xiulan Shizhu Houdi Chanyu (), was the son of Sutuhu. He succeeded Yitu Yulüti in 88 AD and ruled until his death in 93 AD. He was succeeded by his cousin Anguo.
Seeing the turmoil in the north after the Xianbei had killed the Northern Xiongnu chanyu Youliu, Tuntuhe proposed a decisive campaign to take over the steppe to the Han dynasty. In mid 89 AD, General Dou Xian led an army of 45,000 Han, Qiang, and Xiongnu north. A detachment to the north-west defeated the Northern Chanyu at the Battle of the Altai Mountains while the main column burned the sacred site of Longcheng in the modern Orkhon Valley.
