Reign
He was raised to throne with the support of Nushibi tribes and his cousin Nishu. However he was no more successful than his predecessor. He couldn't control the Xueyantuo and he executed so many people that even his former partisan Nishu planned to escape. After losing his supporters and prestige he escaped to south in 633. Nishu succeeded him as Duolu Qaghan.[4]
Later years
He tried to raid the city of Balkh (now in north Afghanistan), but was killed in the clash.[5]
