| rdfs:comment | - The victory strengthened Tang control of Xinjiang and brought the regions formerly ruled by the Khaganate into the Tang empire. Puppet qaghans and military garrisons were installed to administer the newly acquired territories. The Tang Dynasty achieved its maximum extent as China's western borders reached the eastern frontier of the Arabic Umayyad Caliphate. Later on, Turkic revolts ended Chinese hegemony beyond the Pamir Mountains in modern Tajikistan and Afghanistan, but a Tang military presence remained in Dzungaria and the Tarim Basin. Central Asian culture absorbed artistic and political influences from Tang China, and the Turkic migrants serving under the Tang as soldiers and generals spread Turkic culture and language into Central Asia.
