648: The Tang take the Tarim step by step: Gaochang in 640, Karashahr in 644, Kucha in 648, where the Anxi protectorate now sits. Kucha, Khotan, Kashgar and Suyab become the Four Garrisons. North of the Tian Shan the western khaganate holds on under Irbis Shegui Khan; in the Altai Chebi Khan is still free. Modern map; the borders in the steppe are approximate.
