The Attacks Done to China            

        It was certain that the new kingdoms' attack target would be China. The attacks of China, that had been like a parade of glory and victory, aimed on one hand keeping this old and "trickster" enemy under suppression and on the other hand to control the new Gok-Turks' state that had been in need of indispensable materials by means of food, clothes and especially horses. The attacks were directed to the region from Pekin to Kan-su; to the region of south of the Great Wall of China to the south of Huang-ho, and to the centers of providence and garrisons that Chinese called as "Çu"; there were 46 attacks to China between the years of 682 and 687. During these attacks, the Chinese governors and commanders were defeated, the armies were dispersed, the resistance annihilated in everywhere. The victories of the great size were obtained in Hin-çu (685, April) and So-çu (687, October).
