The Tanhu Ki-chin Period (160-126 B.C.)       

        This beneficial situation that was not so realised at the period of Ki-ok showed itself as a real uneasiness in the period of his son Than-hu Kun-chin (160-126 B.C.). Tan-hu, who was son-in-law to a Khan dynasty himself, too caused shakes in the Hun power, as he was not a soldier spirited leader as his father had been. It was recorded that the Chinese had repelled smaller attacks along the borderlines. Vu-ti (148-87 B.C.) was the first of the great emperors to form crowded army and executed the plans that targeted the collapse of the Hun Empire.

 

       He increased the propagandas. Besides, one of his targets was to find new markets for the silk, which was a huge commercial income for China, and secure the famous "silk road" that reached the Mediterranean Sea over inner Asia-Iran. Therefore he had to break the forces of the foreigners in middle and west Asia. As it is known, until the first thousand A.D. the main reason for the fights between the Turkish and the Chinese was the sovereignty of this caravan road.
