蕭蒲奴耶律蒲古夏行美 Xiao Punu, Yelü Pugu, and Xia Xingmei

耶律蒲古，字提隱，太祖弟蘇之四世孫。 Yelü Pugu, whose style name was Tiyin, was a fourth-generation descendant of Su, the younger brother of Emperor Taizu.

太平二年，城鴨淥江，蒲古守之，在鎮有治績。 In the second year of Taiping, when fortifications were raised along the Yalu River, Pugu held the post and won a strong record of governance.

夏行美執其人送蒲古，蒲古入據保州，延琳氣沮。 Xia Xingmei seized the envoy and sent him to Pugu. Pugu then entered and took Baozhou, and Yanlin's morale collapsed.

延琳使人說欲與俱叛，行美執送統軍耶律蒲古，又誘賊黨百人殺之。 Yanlin sent envoys to urge him to join the rebellion. Xingmei seized them and sent them to the commander Yelü Pugu, then lured in a hundred rebel partisans and put them to death.
