| rdfs:comment | - The Tang campaigns against Karasahr, known as Yanqi in Chinese sources, were two military campaigns sent by the Tang Dynasty emperor Taizong against the Tarim Basin kingdom of Karasahr in Xinjiang, a vassal of the Western Turkic Khaganate. The first campaign in 644 was led by the Tang commander Guoxiao Ke, protectorate-general of the Anxi Protectorate in western China, who defeated the oasis state and a Western Turk army at the conquest of Karasahr and installed a Tang loyalist as ruler. The second campaign in 648 was led by the Tang general Ashina She'er, who re-established Chinese control over the kingdom after the Chinese puppet ruler was overthrown.
