The Kingdom of East
Gok-Turks |

- Isbara lost the
equilibrium under the hard conditions and he dismissed the commanders having high ranks
whom he thought as being dependent to Ta-lo-pien. Consequently, some of those soldiers and
princes obliged to want help from China. Işbara who brought fear and hatred around
himself, understood regretfully that he lost lots from his strength, thus he personally
asked the king of Sui for peace.
-
- Accepted the offer with
pleasure and sent immediately envoys to him; C'ang Sun-şeng was the leader of the envoys.
In the capital, this Chinese, in front of the lady and the other Turkish notables,
insulted Işbara and he returned to his country after he announced the khan who recognized
himself as being "the son of Emperor of China", as "Ç'en" (slave).
The eastern kingdom was under the Chinese control. Isbara wrote in the year of 585 a
letter to the emperor, "I will depend on you, pay taxes to you, give you precious
horses as gifts. But, I won't change the language, I can't resemble our undulated hairs to
yours, I can't order my people to wear the Chinese clothes, I can't obey the Chinese
traditions. There is no way, because my people are very sensitive to those issues, they
are like a hart that beats together. The Sui Emperor is the only sovereign in the world.
There should not be two kings in the earth such as there are no two suns in the sky,
etc."
