Dongyi Protectorate

Dongyi Protectorate (東夷督護府) is a Tang dynasty protectorate in present-day Hebei Province and eastern Inner Mongolia. In 648, Emperor Taizong of Tang established the de-jure Jiaole Area Command and appointed the Xi chief Kotuche (可度者) as its Military Governor.[1] In 648, Taizong created the Songmo Area Command and "diplomatically" appointed Kuko (窟哥), chieftain of the Khitans as its Military Governor.[2] The Tang court had loose actual control of the area. After the Tang dynasty collapsed, the area became territory of the Khitan Liao dynasty.
