〈（撻不也）〉 (Tabuye)

仁先子撻不也曰：「聖意豈可違乎？」 Renxian's son Tabuye said, "How can the sacred will be disobeyed?"

子撻不也。 His son was Tabuye.

撻不也，字胡獨堇。 Tabuye, whose style name was Hudujin.

撻不也含容尤甚，邊防益廢，尋改西南面招討使。 Tabuye was especially indulgent, frontier defense grew still more neglected, and he was soon transferred to Pacification Commissioner of the Southwest Circuit.

阻卜酋長磨古斯來侵，西北路招討使何魯掃古戰不利，詔撻不也代之。 The Zubu chieftain Mogusi came raiding. The Northwest Pacification Commissioner Helu Saogu fought without success, and an edict ordered Tabuye to replace him.

磨古斯之為酋長，由撻不也所薦，至是遣人誘致之。 Mogusi had become chieftain on Tabuye's recommendation. On this occasion Tabuye sent men to lure him in.

磨古斯紿降，撻不也逆於鎮州西南沙磧間，禁士卒無得妄動。 Mogusi feigned surrender. Tabuye went out to meet him in the sandy wastes southwest of Zhenzhou and forbade his soldiers to move rashly.

敵至，裨將耶律綰斯、徐烈見其勢銳，不及戰而走，遂被害，年五十八。 When the enemy arrived, the lieutenant generals Yelu Wansi and Xu Lie saw how fierce their force was, fled without fighting, and Tabuye was killed. He was fifty-eight.

撻不也少謹願，後為族嫠婦所惑，出其妻，終以無子。 In youth Tabuye was cautious and compliant, but later he was beguiled by a widowed kinswoman, drove out his wife, and in the end had no sons.
