開皇四年，率諸莫弗賀來謁。五年，悉衆款塞，高祖納之，聽居故地。六年，諸部相攻不止，又與突厥相侵，高祖使使諭解之。別部出伏等違高麗，率眾內附，置於渴奚那頡之北。開皇末，別部四千餘戶違突厥來降，高祖給糧遣還；固辭不去，部落漸眾。遂北徙，逐水草，當遼西正北二百里，依紇臣水而居。紇臣水按隋書八四、北史九四契丹傳作託紇臣水。東西亙五百里，南北三百里，分為十部，兵多者三千，少者千餘。有征伐，酋帥相與議之，興兵則合符契。突厥沙鉢略可汗遣吐屯潘垤統之，契丹殺吐屯。大業七年，貢方物。 In Kaihuang year 4 their Mohehe leaders came to court. The next year the entire people tendered submission at the border; Gaozu received them and let them remain on their old lands. In year 6 inter-tribal fighting and clashes with the Turks continued until Gaozu sent mediators. A collateral branch under Chufu broke with Goguryeo, submitted with its followers, and was settled north of Kexina. Late in Kaihuang more than four thousand households left the Turks and surrendered; Gaozu supplied grain for their return, but they refused to go back and their numbers swelled. They moved north along the pastures, two hundred li north of Liaoxi, settling on the Tuo Ge-chen River — so named in Sui Shu 84 and Beishi 94. Their territory ran five hundred li east–west and three hundred li north–south, divided into ten tribes with between one and three thousand fighters each. War was decided in council among the chiefs, who joined tallies to mobilize. Shabolue of the Turks sent Tutun Pan Chi to oversee them, but the Khitan killed Tutun. In Daye year 7 they sent tribute goods.
