Reign
Yujiulü Futu succeeded his father Yujiulü Nagai as khagan of the Rouran in 506. His first act was to send Hexi Wuiliba (紇奚勿六跋), a Rouran envoy to Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei to make peace. However, the Emperor ordered the ministers to convey to the ambassador that the Rouran were descendants of slaves, the and emperors only communicated with them out of mercy and the Rouran would soon lose their lands. Again in 507, Futu sent the Emperor a letter and sable fur. The Emperor replied that peace with the Northern Wei could be earned by fighting the Gaoche. However, this war proved disastrous as in 508 Futuwas killed in battle by the Gaoche ruler Mi'etu (彌俄突). He was succeeded by his son Yujiulü Chounu.
