Tuoba Yilu
(
Chinese
:
拓跋?盧
;
pinyin
:
Tuoba Y?lu
; died 316) was the chieftain of the western
Tuoba
territory from 295 to 307, supreme chieftain of the Tuoba from 307 to 316, Duke of Dai from 310 to 315, and first ruler of the
Dai kingdom
from 315 to 316.
[1]
He was the son of Tuoba Shamohan (拓跋沙漠汗) and the brother of
Tuoba Yituo
and
Tuoba Fu
.
In 295,
Tuoba Luguan
the chieftain of the Tuoba (a branch of the
Xianbei
) divided the territory under Tuoba control into three areas: a vast tract of land extending west from White Mountain (northeast of
Zhangjiakou
), to Dai (
Datong
,
Shanxi
); an area from Shengle (south of
Hohhot
) and beyond; and a central area, which included north
Shanxi
and the region to its north. Tuoba Yilu would be named chieftain of the western area. As chieftain of the western Tuoba territory, Tuoba Yilu defeated the
Xiongnu
and
Wuhuan
to the west, gaining in this way the support of various ethnically
Han
and Wuhuan people, in addition to his own Xianbei people. In 304, Tuoba Yilu, along with Tuoba Yituo, joined forces with the
Jin
armies and defeated
Liu Yuan
. In 305, Tuoba Yituo died, and in 307, Tuoba Luguan died, following which Tuoba Yilu became the supreme chieftain of the Tuoba.
The name Dai itself originated when Tuoba Yilu was created Duke of Dai (代公) and rewarded with five commanderies by the
Western Jin
in 310 as a reward for his helping
Liu Kun
(劉琨), the Governor of Bingzhou (?州) (modern
Shanxi
province), to fight the Xiongnu
Han
state.
[2]
This fief was later raised from a duchy to a principality by the Western Jin court in 315. In 312, Tuoba Yilu assisted Liu Kun in the recapturing of Jinyang (晉陽, in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi) from the Han general
Liu Yao
. When Tuoba Yilu designated his youngest son Tuoba Biyan (拓跋比延) as his heir apparent instead of his eldest son Tuoba Liuxiu (拓跋六修), this led to a dispute between him and his son Tuoba Liuxiu. He was succeeded by
Tuoba Pugen
in 316, after his own son Tuoba Liuxiu killed him a succession dispute.
