Ashina Zhen (also referred to as Shi Zhen 史震) — was a puppet khagan set up by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty in China; He ruled briefly.

Life[edit]

He was a son of Ashina Xian. In October of 735, Turkic tribe leader and warlord Suluk attacked the Beiting Protectorate. As a reaction, he was appointed as Xingxiwang Khagan to defend the Four Garrisons of Anxi and attached him to Gai Jiayun (蓋嘉運). However, he was removed from this post when he was defeated in 736.
