In the autumn, the seventh month of the jiachen year of the Liao, Tianzu led fifty thousand men of the various Tatar armies, and bringing his empress, concubines, two sons named Prince of Qin and Prince of Zhao, and clan members, crossed south over the Yuyang Ridge. The Jin figure Nianhan withdrew his troops to Yunzhong, and Tianzu fled back to the mountains. The Jin commissioner plotted with Xiao Hulu to submit southward to the Song, and also plotted to flee to Western Xia, with state policies still undecided. Xiao Hulu secretly sent someone to report to Nianhan. The Jin sent Lousu galloping on horseback to attack Tianzu, and Xiao Hulu then took Tianzu captive and returned with him. The Jin stripped Tianzu of his rank, enfeoffed him as the King of the Seashore, sent him to the Changbai Mountains (now Xianping Prefecture of Kaiyuan Circuit in Liaodong Circuit), and built a lodge to the east for him to dwell. In the following yisi year he died, and the Liao state perished. From its rise in the bingzi year, the second year of Zhenming under King Jun of the Later Liang, down to this jiachen year, the Liao had a total of nine rulers spanning two hundred and nine years (Liao chronicles).
