Yes, he was. During the first invasion, he and Jebe co-commanded a part of the Quan's army. I forget the name of the city involved, but they used a feigned retreat to lure the Chinese into opening the gates and come out to "play", then they wiped out the garrison, and rode in right behind the survivors. I believe they also found a very useful pass to flank part of the Wall on the approach march.

I read somewhere, a long time back, that after Europe and Guyuk's quriltai, Subodei did some more campaigning in China before he finally hung 'em up.
