Xueyantuo Khaganate
Also known as Sir Tardush
The Xueyantuo were a Turkic tribe of the Tiele confederation who formed a khaganate in Mongolia, ruling from Ötüken. Once vassals of the Göktürks, they allied with the Tang dynasty against the Eastern Turkic Khaganate. The Tang emperor Taizong campaigned against them and destroyed the khaganate in 646.
