耶律盆奴蕭排押 Yelü Pennu and Xiao Paiya

蕭排押，字韓隱，國舅少父房之後。 Xiao Paiya, whose style name was Hanyin, was descended from the Lesser Father House of the Imperial Maternal Clan.

排押入開京，大掠而還。 Paiya entered Kaesong, plundered extensively, and returned.

排押為政寬裕而善斷，諸部畏愛，民以殷富，時議多之。 Paiya governed with leniency yet firm judgment; the tribes both feared and loved him, the people grew prosperous, and contemporaries greatly praised him.

渡茶、陀二河，敵夾射，排押委甲仗走，坐是免官。 Crossing the Cha and Tuo rivers, the enemy shot at them from both flanks. Paiya cast off his armor and arms and fled, and for this was removed from office.
