蕭特烈，字訛都碗，遙輦窪可汗宮分人。 Xiao Telie, whose courtesy name was Eduo Wan, was from the Yaolian Waqaghan household division.

及天祚在山西集群牧兵，特烈為副統軍。 When Tianzuo gathered tribal herd troops in Shanxi, Telie was made deputy supreme commander.

聞金兵將至，特烈諭士卒以君臣之義，死戰於石輦鐸。 Hearing that Jin troops were about to arrive, Telie instructed the soldiers in the duty between sovereign and subject and fought to the death at Shinian Duo.

金兵不戰，特烈伺間欲攻之。 The Jin troops did not engage; Telie watched for an opening and meant to attack them.

特烈所至，招集散亡，尋為中軍都統，復敗於梯已山。 Wherever Telie went he gathered scattered fugitives; soon he was made central army supreme commander, and was again defeated at Tiyi Mountain.

特烈陰謂耶律兀直曰：「事勢如此，億兆離心，正我輩效節之秋。 Telie said privately to Yelü Wuzhi, "The situation is thus; the myriad people have lost heart—this is exactly the season for us to give loyal service.

遂共劫梁王雅裏，奔西北諸部，偽立為帝，特烈自為樞密使。 Thereupon together they seized the Prince of Liang, Yali, fled to the northwestern tribes, falsely set him up as emperor, and Telie made himself privy commissioner.

會耶律兀直言朮烈才德純備，兼興宗之孫，眾皆曰可，遂僭立焉，特烈偽職如故。 Yelü Wuzhi said that Shulie was pure in talent and virtue and moreover a grandson of Xingzong; everyone said he would do, and so they set him up with a usurped title; Telie's false post remained as before.
