History The northward bend of the Yellow River is an area of considerable strategic importance that had been part of the State of Zhao during the early Warring States Era . During this period it was called Jiuyuan , and was a commandery. As Zhao gradually weakened, the area fell under Xiongnu control, only to be reconquered during the Qin Dynasty by a large expedition led by the general Meng Tian . In the chaos of the rebellions that took place during the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu once again moved into the area and took control, and retained this area even after the foundation of the Han Dynasty, using it as an important staging post for raiding into northern and northeastern China. It was only during the Sino Xiongnu War launched by Emperor Wu that the Han Dynasty proactively sought to take over the former borderlands of the Qin Dynasty. In 127 BC, an expedition led by Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu, leading to the foundation of Shuofang Commandery by 8 BC the commandery had ten constituent counties.

The Yellow River flows north northeast, then east, and then south forming three sides of an imperfect rectangle. The south side is formed by the Wei River which rises not far from the southwest corner and flows east to the southeast corner. Clockwise from the southwest corner the sides of the rectangle are about 400, 200, 375, and 350 miles. At the southeast corner the Yellow River turns east and finds its way through the mountains at the Hangu Pass onto the North China Plain .

The north is grassland and desert Ordos desert and is part of Inner Mongolia . The Great Wall of China cuts across the center roughly separating the nomadic north from the agricultural south. The Ordos region proper is the area north of the wall.
