Yiedie Khan

Yiedie Khan (也咥可汗), personal name Yishibo (乙失缽), was a seventh-century Turkic political leader of the Xueyantuo, the first to have taken the title of khan. At the time of Yishibo's rule over the Xueyantuo, the Xueyantuo were a part of the Chile confederation, made of 15 tribes, which at the time submitted to Western Tujue's Heshana Khan Ashina Daman (r. 603-611). Ashina Daman was said to be collecting excessive taxes from the Chile, leading to resentment among the Chile. Ashina Daman thus suspected the Chile chieftains and, on one occasion, gathered some 100 Chile chieftains and slaughtered them. The Chile thereafter rebelled and supported Geleng (歌楞), the chieftain of the Qibi (契苾), as the Yiwuzhenmohe Khan (易勿真莫賀可汗). They also supported Yishibo as Yiedie Khan, as a subordinate khan under
