Li Shouxin mentioned this ethnic group in his letter. They are also a Turkic race, originating from the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, and are a branch of the local Kimak Turks. Of course, some people say that they originally lived in the Ob River Basin, but this

None of it matters anymore.

After the Kipchaks moved westward, they were distributed in the north of the Khazar Khanate and the Oghuz Tribal Alliance. They were widely dispersed and made a living as nomads.

Historically, after the Oghuz moved westward in the 11th century, they defeated the Pechenegs on the southern Russian grasslands, and were subsequently defeated by the Kipchaks who moved westward. At this point, the Kipchaks became the dominant force in the southern Russian grasslands.
