This discrepancy is described not only in Chinese chronicles, but also in Narshahi's History of
Bukhara. He was called AbruyDalobyan because he received the title of Ab-Khan. Dyangu -
Kara ChurinTurgBiyagu and his son Dyang, who captured Dalobyan - Shiri-Kishvar. His third
description is given in the book "History of Theophalactics in Simokatta", which contains the
contents of the letter "King of the Turks" sent to the emperor Mauritius in 596.
As a result of the war, Dyangu became an ally of Iran in 589. The reasons for the war were as
follows: When the Turkic cavalry spears united the Great Desert from the Yellow Sea to the
Black Sea under the rule of their khagans, they captured the entire caravan route and the rich
Soghd cities - the pillars of caravan trade.
At the same time, Byzantium, which had gained hegemony in the Mediterranean, received brutal
blows from the Lombards in Italy and the Avars on the Danube. He had to wage a long and
brutal war to defend his borders, and for that he needed money. However, in the sixth century,
there was very little gold in circulation, so Byzantine emperors were forced to look for other
types of values for their policies. Silk fabrics were valued more than goods in Europe, and silk
became a currency that was treated on an equal footing with gold.
But the caravan route passed through Iran and the emperor and emperor were always enemies.
The Persians welcomed the silk trade in general, but the income from taxes allowed them to
maintain a courtyard and an army. So they gave the least silk to their enemies at the prices they
set.
Iran‘s interest was not an increase in turnover, but an increase in prices in order to get as much
gold as possible from the hands of the enemy and reduce the Greeks ‘ability to engage fighters in
Europe in the war against Iran. This system also affected the interests of the Western Turkic
khans, who were owned by Sogdian traders from China to Iran and their friends because they
could not export and sell their goods. Their attempts to agree with the Persian king were
unsuccessful. On the contrary, the detour through the dry steppes north of the Caspian Sea was
difficult and unsafe. Because the thieves, who had suffered a retreat in front of the heavy cavalry
of the Turks, could easily trap and steal any caravan of merchants.
In 569, the Greeks and the Western Turks were able to exchange ambassadors and determine that
their interests coincided. Thus, a Turkic-Byzantine military alliance against Iran emerged. King
Hormuzd ruled Iran for 578 years.
Twelve regiments of cavalry were the backbone of his strength. These were professional
warriors who received payment for service from the king. Relying on them, Hormuzd tried to
reduce the power and influence of the aristocracy that had always ruled, but the executions made
his rule unpopular in the country. The Greeks and Turkuts then struck a decisive blow that had to
end Iran and open the gate from East to West.
In the autumn of 589, the situation in Iran was very hopeless, for, as the Arab historian Tabari
puts it, "the enemy surrounded Persia like a bow." Only the courage of the Persian cavalry and
their commander, Bahram Chubin, took a dangerous threat to the country. Bahram personally
assassinated a Turkic leader known in Persian literature as Shaba or Saveshah.
In addition, during the Turkic khanate, trade, urbanization and handicrafts were well developed
in the country. In order to revitalize international trade and the domestic market, the Turkic
khans also minted their own coins. The city in which the State Mint was located, and the
surrounding areas, developed rapidly. The Chach oasis is one of the coinage centers of the
