Yelu Daseki - The Great Stone

Japanese: 耶律大石 - やりつたいせき
Yelu Daseki - The Great Stone

He was the first emperor of the Kara-Khitai (Western Liao) in Central Asia (reigned 1132-43). His pen name was Chongde and his temple name was Dezong. He was the 8th generation descendant of the Liao's Taizu Yelu Aboji. When the Liao was attacked by the Jin in 1124, he fled north to the Outer Mongolian Plateau, and then westward, ascending to the throne at Belasagun on the Chu River in 1132, and established the Yanqing era. He called himself Gul Khan and called himself Emperor Tenyu. In 1141, he defeated the Islamic coalition led by the Seljuk Sultan Sanjar near Samarkand, and established Kara-Khitai's control over Transoxiana. He later subjugated the Khwarizm Shah Dynasty.
