((Short description|Chieftain of the Yuwen-Xianbei tribe))
((more citations needed|date=May 2021))

'''Yuwen Yidougui''' (宇文逸豆歸) (((Flourished)) 333–345), also known as '''Yuwen Houdougui''' (宇文俟豆歸), was a chieftain of the [[Yuwen]]-[[Xianbei]] tribe during the [[Sixteen Kingdoms]] period. He was the last chieftain of the tribe before they were conquered by the [[Murong]] state of [[Former Yan]]. Throughout his rule, Yidougui was in conflict with the Duke of [[Liaodong Peninsula|Liaodong]] and later Prince of Yan, [[Murong Huang]]. He was defeated in the end, and the Yuwen clan's autonomy was abolished as Murong Huang absorbed their whole territory into his. Yidougui was the direct ancestor of [[Yuwen Tai]], the paramount leader of [[Western Wei]] who laid the foundation of the Yuwen-led [[Northern Zhou]] state during the [[Northern and Southern dynasties]] period.

== Life ==

=== Early reign ===
According to the ''[[Book of Zhou]]'', Yuwen Yidougui was supposedly the ninth descendant of Yuwen Mona (宇文莫那).<ref>(普回子莫那，自陰山南徙，始居遼西，是曰獻侯，為魏舅生之國。九世至侯豆歸，為慕容晃所滅。) Book of Zhou, Volume 1</ref> He was initially the chieftain of the eastern Yuwen tribe. In 333, [[Yuwen Qidegui]], the head chief of the clan, was driven out (or killed) by Yidougui, who then made himself the new chieftain. This caused the Duke of Liaodong, Murong Huang to lead his soldiers and attack Yidougui. Yidougui was alarmed by this, so he quickly sought for peace. Huang accepted it, but before leaving, he built two forts named Anjin (安晉) and Yuyin (榆陰) between his and Yidougui's territory.<ref>(尋而宇文乞得龜為其別部逸豆歸所逐，奔死於外，皝率騎討之，逸豆歸懼而請和，遂築榆陰、安晉二城而還。) Book of Jin, Volume 109</ref>

In November of that year, Huang's brother, [[Murong Ren]], rebelled and seized Liaodong from him, dividing the Murong clan's territory into two. Shortly after Ren's success, Yidougui, as well as other Xianbei chieftains, most prominently [[Duan Liao]] of the [[Duan tribe]], gave their support for Ren against Huang. In 335, Murong Huang's Marshal of the Right, [[Feng Yi (Former Yan)|Feng Yi]], surprise attacked one of the Yuwen leaders, Yuwen Sheyi (宇文涉奕). Many of Sheyi's soldiers were captured, and when Sheyi led his light cavalry to pursue Feng Yi, he was once again defeated at the [[Hun River (Liao River tributary)|Hun River]].<ref>(咸康初，遣封弈襲宇文別部涉奕於，大獲而還。涉奕于率騎追戰于渾水，又敗之。) Book of Jin, Volume 109</ref> Later that year in December, Yuwen Yidougui, as well as Duan Liao, sent their envoys to meet with Murong Ren. The envoys stayed overnight outside the city, where they were ambushed by Murong Huang's general Zhang Ying (張英). Ten of Yidougui's men were killed while Duan Liao's envoys were all captured and brought to Murong Huang.

Murong Ren was killed by Murong Huang in early 336. Shortly after Ren's death, the Duan and Yuwen led a joint attack against Huang. Duan Liao's brother, [[Duan Lan]], led his army to camp west of Liucheng while Yidougui attacked Anjin to support him. Huang marched to Liucheng (柳城; southwest of present-day [[Chaoyang, Liaoning|Chaoyang]], Liaoning), causing Duan Lan to retreat without a fight, and Yidougui would do the same after Huang arrived at Anjin. Huang sent Feng Yi to pursue them with his light cavalry, and Feng inflicted them a great defeat, seizing much of their equipment and ration.<ref>(夏，六月，段遼遣中軍將軍李詠襲慕容皝。詠趣武興，都尉張萌擊擒之。遼別遣段蘭將步騎數萬屯柳城西回水，宇文逸豆歸攻安晉以為蘭聲援。皝帥步騎五萬向柳城，蘭不戰而遁。皝引兵北趣安晉，逸豆歸棄輜重走；皝遣司馬封弈帥輕騎追擊，大破之。) Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 95</ref> Afterwards that same year, Feng Yi led a successful campaign against the Yuwen tribe.

=== Middle reign ===
In 338, Murong Huang, now Prince of his established state, Former Yan, and [[Shi Hu]] of [[Later Zhao]] agreed to hold a joint campaign to subjugate the Duan tribe. When the Duan's demise was clear, Duan Liao's general and Murong Huang's half-brother, [[Murong Han]] decided to flee north to receive protection from the Yuwen tribe. Yidougui accepted him initially but became jealous of Han's talents and reputation. Knowing this, Han pretended to go mad, which he did so convincingly enough to cause the Yuwen to hate him but also underestimate him and not monitor his activities.<ref>(宇文逸豆歸忌慕容翰才名。翰乃陽狂酣飲，或臥自便利，或被發歌呼，拜跪乞食。宇文舉國賤之，不復省錄，以故得行來自遂，山川形便，皆默記之。) Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 96</ref>

During Murong Han's stay with the Yuwens, there was communication between Murong Huang and him through Huang's agent, the merchant Wang Che (王車). Huang hoped to convince his brother to return, and Han expressed his desire to go back home. Huang welcomed him back, and Han began planning his escape with Wang Che. In February 340, Han stole Yidougui's prized horse and made his way to his brother's state. Yidougui responded by sending 100 riders to chase after Han, but Han managed to persuade the riders to let him go.<ref>(既而逃，歸乃遣勁騎百餘追之。翰遙謂追者曰：「吾既思戀而歸，理無反面。吾之弓矢，汝曹足知，無為相逼，自取死也。吾處汝國久，恨不殺汝。汝可百步豎刀，吾射中者，汝便宜反；不中者，可來前也。」歸騎解刀豎之，翰一發便中刀鐶，追騎乃散。既至，皝甚加恩禮。) Book of Jin, Volume 109</ref>

=== Late reign and fall of the Yuwen state ===
In February 343, Yidougui sent his Chancellor of State Moqian Hun (莫淺渾) to attack Yan. Many of Murong Huang's generals wanted to fight him, but Huang ordered them to wait. Moqian Hun thought that Huang was afraid to face him, so he did not prepare any defences and instead spent his time drinking and hunting. Huang sent Murong Han to attack Hun, who was badly routed. Moqian Hun barely escaped with his life while all his troops were captured by Han.<ref>(宇文歸遣其國相莫淺渾伐皝，諸將請戰，皝不許。渾以皝為憚之，荒酒縱獵，不復設備。皝曰：「渾奢忌已甚，今則可一戰矣。」遣翰率騎擊之，渾大敗，僅以身免，盡俘其眾。) Book of Jin, Volume 109</ref> Later that year, Yidougui arrested Duan Lan, who had been on the run since the Duan state's destruction. As tribute to Zhao, Yidougui handed Duan Lan over to Shi Hu along with 10,000 fine horses.

In 344 (or 345 according to the ''Book of Wei''),<ref>(建國八年，晃伐逸豆歸，逸豆歸拒之，為晃所敗，殺其驍將涉亦干。) Book of Wei, Volume 103</ref> Murong Huang set out to conquer the Yuwen tribe once and for all. Murong Han served as the vanguard general with Liu Pei (劉佩) as his adjutant. Huang's army was divided among his generals [[Murong Jūn]], Murong Ke, Murong Ba and [[Muyu Gen]], and they marched out along three different roads. Yidougui sent his strongest general, the Chief of Nanluo, Yuwen Sheyegan (宇文涉夜干), with many of Yidougui's best soldiers to give fight. Sheyegan fought Murong Han head on but a sudden attack by Murong Ba from the flank was enough to overwhelm and kill him. Sheyegan's death caused many of the Yuwen soldiers to lose heart and abandon their ranks. The Yan forces pressed on and chased after the fleeing Yuwen troops into their capital in Zimengchuan (紫蒙川, northwest of present-day [[Chaoyang, Liaoning|Chaoyang]], Liaoning).<ref>(逸豆歸遣南羅大涉夜干將精兵逆戰，皝遣人馳謂慕容翰曰：「涉夜干勇冠三軍，宜小避之。」翰曰：「逸豆歸掃其國內精兵以屬涉夜干，涉夜干素有勇名，一國所賴也。今我克之，其國不攻自潰矣。且吾孰知涉夜干之為人，雖有虛名，實易與耳，不宜避之，以挫吾兵氣。」遂進戰。翰自出衝陣，涉夜幹出應之；慕容霸從傍邀擊，遂斬涉夜干。宇文士卒見涉夜干死，不戰而潰；燕兵乘勝逐之，遂克其都城。) Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 97</ref> Yidougui managed to flee the city, running away to the [[Gobi Desert|northern desert]] and later moving to [[Goguryeo]] where he would remain for the rest of his life.<ref>(逸豆歸遠遁漠北，遂奔高麗。) Book of Wei, Volume 103</ref> The Yuwen tribe's territory was absorbed into Yan, thus ending the clan's independence and autonomy.

== Descendants ==
Yuwen Yidougui had at least six sons. They were Yuwen Ling (宇文陵), Yuwen Babagui (宇文拔拔瓌), Yuwen Hewei (宇文紇闍), Yuwen Muyuan (宇文目原), Yuwen Heduqizhi (宇文紇闍俟直) and Yuwen Muchen (宇文目陳).<ref>(遜昵延生佚豆歸，自稱大單于，為慕容晃所滅。生六子：一曰拔拔陵陵，二曰拔拔瓌，三曰紇闍，四曰目原，五曰紇闍俟直，六曰目陳。) New Book of Tang, Volume 71</ref> After Yidougui's defeat, the tribe dispersed. Members of the Yuwen tribe either followed Yidougui to Goguryeo or surrendered to Yan while the [[Kumo Xi]] and [[Khitan people|Khitan]] branch of the tribe fled to the Songmo region in modern [[Heshigten Banner]] and [[Ongniud Banner]]. Yuwen Ling surrendered and had a notable career in Former Yan as well as in its revival state, [[Later Yan]]. He served as Chief Commandant of Escorting Cavalry and was bestowed the title of Duke of [[Xuantu Commandery]]. He later worked under [[Northern Wei]], where his descendants would live for generations. Yidougui was a direct ancestor of the Western Wei paramount leader, Yuwen Tai, as well as Tai's other family members who would go on to establish their state of Northern Zhou in 557.<ref>(其子陵仕燕，拜駙馬都尉，封玄菟公。魏道武將攻中山，陵從慕容寶禦之。寶敗，陵率甲騎五百歸魏，拜都牧主，賜爵安定侯。天興初，徙豪傑於代都，陵隨例遷武川焉。陵生系，系生韜，並以武略稱。韜生肱。) Book of Zhou, Volume 1</ref>
