History

At the beginning of the Xueyantuo were two tribes, the Xue and Yantuo. After Yoshibo the Xueyantuo founded a short-lived private Khaganate in the steppe under Yinan, his son Bazhuo (拔 灼) and his nephew Duomozhi (咄 摩 支). The last has probably subjected to the Chinese.

On March 27, 630, the Xueyantuo Western Khaganate defeated devastating in an alliance with the Chinese, so Khagan Illig fled. Then the Xueyantuo dominated a large part of the northern steppes. 632 they beat an army of Si Yabgu, Khagan of the western khanate back. They submitted after the Karluks on Ulungur and Irtysh and Yenisei Kirghiz. 634 was Dubu ( Ashina Shier ) killed one of their biggest rivals, and ruler of the eastern part of the western khanate.

In the period following the Xueyantuo had a friendly relationship with the Chinese. This lasted until 639, when Jiedushuai Ashina (阿 史 那 结社 率) undertook a raid after he was expelled from the Chinese emperor. Together with his nephew Ashina Heluohu (阿 史 那 贺 逻 鹘) could this defeat the Xueyantuo. Parts of the population were deported to the north of the Ordos and Heluohu built a new Eastern Khaganate which was under the Western and was the enemy of the Xueyantuo.

Later Ashina Simo (阿 史 那 思摩) was determined with the government about this area. There he did not succeed, the tribes together and continuous attacks of the Xueyantuo and Chinese followed. Already 644 fled tribal chiefs in the south and in the second year of his reign, there was a coup. In August 646, the Khaganate of the Huihe (回 纥) and the Chinese was finally crushed. The last September dominions were destroyed two years later. Shortly after the 646 came the chiefs of the Tiele and Huihe to the Chinese court.
