Anxi
Anxi, officially the Grand Protectorate to Pacify the West (安西大都護府, Ānxī Dàdūhù Fǔ), was a Protectorate established by the Tang dynasty in 640 to organize and control the Western Regions.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 751, Anxi's jiedushi Gao Xianzhi led his forces westward in an expansionist campaign, leading to a clash with the Abbasid Caliphate at the Battle of Talas. Owing to the allied Karluk mercenaries' betrayal, the Tang suffered a decisive defeat, and most of their 30,000-strong army was annihilated.[2] This event marked the limits of the Tang dynasty's expansion westward into Central Asia.[3]
