	Timur and Timurids
		During this period, he received an arrow-wound in the leg, as a result of which he was nicknamed Timur i Lenk or Timur the Lame, corrupted in the West to Tamerlane.
		After the death in 1357 of Transoxonia's ruler, Amir Kazgan, Timur declared his fealty to the khan of nearby Kashgar, Tughluq Temur, who had overrun Transoxonia's chief city, Samarkand, in 1361.
		Khorasan and all eastern Persia fell to him in 1383-85; Fars, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Mesopotamia and Georgia all fell between 1386 and 1394.In the intervals, he was engaged with Toktamish, then khan of the Golden Horde whose forces invaded Azerbaijan in 1385 and Transoxonia in 1388,defeating Timur's generals.

		The Yuezhi were apparently a Caucasoid people, as indicated by the portraits of their kings on the coins they struck following their exodus to Transoxonia (2nd-1st century BCE), and especially the coins they struck in India as Kushans (1st-3rd century CE).
		The Yuezhi crossed the neighbouring urban civilization of the Ta-Yuan in Ferghana, and settled on the northern bank of the Oxus, in the region of Transoxonia, in modern-day Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, just north of the Hellenistic Greco-Bactrian kingdom.
		The Greek city of Alexandria on the Oxus was apparently burnt to the ground by the Yuezhi around 145 BCE.

	Samanid Dynasty
		Ahnad's son Nasr became governor of Transoxonia in 875, but it was his brother and successor, Isma'il I (892-907) who overthrew the Saffarids in Khorasan (900) and the Zaydites of Tabaristan, thus establishing a semiautonomous rule over Transoxonia and Khorasan with Bukhara as his capital.
		Nuh II (976-997), to retain his nominal control, confirmed Sebuktigin, a former Turkish slave, as semi-independent ruler of Ghazna (Ghazni,Afg.) and appointed his son Mahmud governor of Khorasan.
		Under the loosely centralized feudal government of the Samanids, Transoxonia and Khorasan prospered, with a notable expansion of industry and commerce, attested by the use of Samanid silver coins as currency throughout southern Asia.

		The Chinese mission of [[Zhang Qian to the Yuezhi in 126 BCE, Mogao Caves, 618-712 CE mural painting.]] The Yuezhi were visited by a Chinese mission, led by Zhang Qian in 126 BCE, which was seeking an offensive alliance with the Yuezhi to counter the Xiongnu threat to the north.
		Although the request for an alliance was denied by the Yuezhi son of the slain king, who preferred to envoy peace in Transoxonia rather than to seek revenge, Zhang Qian made a detailed account, reported in the Shiji, that gives a lot of insight into the situation of Central Asia at that time.
