耶律胡呂，字蘇撒，弘義宮分人。 Yelu Hulu, courtesy name Susa, was from the Hongyi Palace Division.

胡呂性謙謹，於人無適莫。 Hulu was modest and careful by nature and showed no partiality toward anyone.

大安中，北阻卜酋磨魯斯叛，為招討都監，與耶律那也率精騎二千討平之，以功為漢人行宮副部署，兼知太和宮事。 During Da'an the Northern Zhubu chieftain Molusi rebelled; Hulu served as supervising commissioner of the pacification campaign and, with Yelu Naye, led two thousand picked horsemen to crush the revolt; for this he was made vice deployment commissioner of the Han mobile palace and concurrently administrator of Taihe Palace.
