Ashina Shi

Alp Bilge[1] Qağan[2] (Chinese: 賀臘毗伽可汗; pinyin: Hèlà Píjiā Kèhán) or Eletmiş Qağan[3] (Chinese: 頡跌伊(蜜)施可汗; pinyin: Xiédiēyī(mì)shī Kèhán) was a Basmyl chief who rebelled and brought Second Turkic Khaganate to an end.

The policy of Tang China was to vassalize all people to the north of Chinese border line and Özmiş Khagan was also expected to pay respect.

Initially, Özmiş agreed to visit emperor Xuanzong’s court and pay respect to the emperor, but then he changed his mind and tried to keep his independence.

Wang Zhongsi organized a coalition of three Turkic people Basmyl, Uighur and Karluk, who had previously accepted the suzerainty of Chinese emperor, instead of Özmiş.

Although Özmiş escaped he was soon defeated for the second time and was killed in 744 by Ashina Shi himself.
