In 127 BC Emperor Han Wudi ordered a new phase of construction for the Great Wall. This extended the Wall into Inner Mongolia itself, and renovated much of the older wall near this border.
One of Emperor Han Wudi's generals, Huo Qubing, launched a military campaign against the Hun in 121 BC, pushing them deep into Mongolia, allowing him to secure the Hexi Corridor, the passage to the Western Region. The Wall was promptly extended to secure this area, from Yongdeng County to Jiuquan City in Gangsu. This section of the Wall saw many incursion attempts from the Hun and their allies the Qiang, but it was too strong for them to breach.- Forts dotted the distance between Jiuquan City and Yumenguan Pass of Gansu Province that were also the form of the Great Wall. These were measures against Hun warlords around 110 BC. Around 101 BC Chinese workers built the section from Yumenguan Pass to Luobu Po of Xinjiang Ugyur Autonomous Region. Altogether Han Wudi had built a thousand kilometers (621 miles) of defense wall over twenty years to secure the passage to the Western Region. The Huns power later was in decline and consequently less wall-building activity came about this side of the border.
