Years: 648 - 648
Tang emperor Taizong, applying the same tactics toward the Western Turks as he had a decade earlier against their eastern brethren, uses emissaries to sow discord among rival tribes and gain the allegiances of powerful chiefs.
From 641 to 648, the emperor has deployed his fierce cavalry against the Western Turks, driving them from their Central Asian mountain strongholds in a successful effort to prevent them from harassing the northern caravan route to the west.
