Yelü Xiuge


Yelü Xiuge was a Khitan general and politician in imperial China's Liao dynasty. He commanded a disciplined army and fought the Song forces for several decades, taking care to not harm any innocent individual. The History of Liao records that adults during the Song Dynasty would yell "Here comes Yuyue !" to stop children from crying. Yuyue was Yelü Xiuge's title.
Yelü Xiuge's tomb was discovered in 2002 in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, China.
