At the time of Wuji's accession, the northern borders were troubled by Xianbei raids and one of his senior officers was killed in the fighting. Wuji received resistance from the Han dynasty in fending off the Xianbei, but his reign was marked by further dependence on the Han. Southern Xiongnu once guarded the Chinese frontier, but now they were the ones who required aid.[1]

Wuji died in 128 AD and was succeeded by his brother Xiuli.[2]
