Reign

Chinese records state that he sent an embassy led by Princess Taihe to the Tang, accompanied with seven women horse-archers and two Shatuo captives on 16 June 835.[2]

His peaceful policy with China made him an unpopular ruler.[3] This led to a rebellion in 839 by the Sogdian official An Yunhe (安允合) and Uyghur minister Chai Lei (柴勒). Qaghan was able to defeat and kill them, but lost a subsequent battle against another Uyghur official, General Jueluowu (掘羅勿) along with the Shatuo chief Zhuye Chixin. Zhangxin killed himself following the battle.[4] He was succeeded by Qasar Qaghan.
