According to Japanese researcher Haneda Toru Qasar Qaghan was the same person as Uyghur general Jueluowu who rebelled against Zhangxin Qaghan. However, according to Michael Drompp, Qasar was a puppet ruler who was raised to the throne by Jueluowu. In any case his reign was very brief. Against the usurpation, Uyghur general Külüg Bagha fled to the Kyrgyz Khaganate and appealed for help. The war, a major plague and a major snow storm, killed many of the Uyghur's livestock and led to the Uyghur Khaganate's sudden decline. Using this as an opportunity, Külüg Bagha and 100,000 Kyrgyz invadedOrdu-Baliq and burnedthe city. Qasar and Jueluowu were killed by a Kyrgyz leader titled Ā-rè, who would take the title of qaghan.
