2. Of the five tribes, Guishuang was to the eastern most side living in Central Asia (present day Xinjiang, Gansu). But Yuezhi was ousted by Xiongnu (Hiung-Nu) during 176-160 BCE time frame.
3. In around 3rd century BCE, China built the Great Wall of China which forced Yuezhi to find place towards the west.
