Emperor Qianlong wrote poem for the victory of Khorgos in 1758:

今春我師剿逆夷，首戰實和落霍澌，斬將搴旗早報捷，酬勞頒賚已有差，即今生解俘囚至，曰渥赭特宰桑伊，散秩大臣曾授職，乃敢倡亂如鴞鴟，面詢彼所致敗故，咋舌惟歎天奪其，彼衆猶有千餘騎，覘知我寡設計奇，輜重遠行誘我逐，層層伏賊據險巇，官軍四百始馳至，少騎示弱山之陲，我進彼乃蠭涌集，銃礮如雨循環施，我軍曾無一傷者，百靈擁護信有之，衝鋒突入矢齊發，賊乃喪膽紛離披，鹿埵隴種各逃命，大鞣大膊張軍威，殲彼屍僵近四百，負傷遁者數無訾，是誠天助額手慶，奮勇要亦資人為，問率軍者其人誰，超勇親王家聲貽，戊寅新秋月作御筆 。
