Helian Bobo

Helian Bobo (Chinese: 赫連勃勃; Middle Chinese Guangyun: [xɐk-li̯ɛn˩ bʰuət-bʰuət]; 381 – c. September 425), né Liu Bobo (劉勃勃), epithet Qujie (屈孑) , also known by his posthumous name as the Emperor Wulie of Xia (夏武烈帝), was the founding emperor of the Xiongnu-led Hu Xia dynasty of China. He is generally considered to have been extremely cruel ruler, who betrayed every benefactor whom he had, and whose thirst for killing was excessive even for the turbulent times he was in. He built an impressive capital for his state at Tongwancheng (in modern Yulin, Shaanxi) that remained difficult to besiege, even centuries later during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
