文帝初，北狄彊盛，侵擾邊塞，乃使豫持節護烏丸校尉，牽招、解儁并護鮮卑。自高柳以東，濊貊以西，鮮卑數十部，比能、彌加、素利割地統御，各有分界；乃共誓要，皆不得以馬與中國市。豫以戎狄爲一，非中國之利，乃先搆離之，使自爲讎敵，互相攻伐。素利違盟，出馬千匹與官，爲比能所攻，求救於豫。豫恐遂相兼并，爲害滋深，宜救善討惡，示信衆狄。單將銳卒，深入虜庭，胡人衆多，鈔軍前後，斷截歸路。豫乃進軍，去虜十餘里結屯營，多聚牛馬糞然之，從他道引去。胡見煙火不絕，以爲尚在，去，行數十里乃知之。追豫到馬城，圍之十重，豫密嚴，使司馬建旌旗，鳴鼓吹，將步騎從南門出，胡人皆屬目往赴之。豫將精銳自北門出，鼓譟而起，兩頭俱發，出虜不意，虜衆散亂，皆棄弓馬步走，追討二十餘里，僵尸蔽地。又烏丸王骨進桀黠不恭，豫因出塞案行，單將麾下百餘騎入進部。進逆拜，遂使左右斬進，顯其罪惡以令衆。衆皆怖慴不敢動，便以進弟代進。自是胡人破膽，威震沙漠。山賊高艾，衆數千人，寇鈔，爲幽、冀害，豫誘使鮮卑素利部斬艾，傳首京都。封豫長樂亭侯。爲校尉九年，其御夷狄，恒摧抑兼并，乖散彊猾。凡逋亡姦宄，爲胡作計不利官者，豫皆構刺攪離，使凶邪之謀不遂，聚居之類不安。事業未究，而幽州刺史王雄支黨欲令雄領烏丸校尉，毀豫亂邊，爲國生事。遂轉豫爲汝南太守，加殄夷將軍。

軻比能本小種鮮卑，以勇健，斷法平端，不貪財物，衆推以爲大人。部落近塞，自袁紹據河北，中國人多亡叛歸之，教作兵器鎧楯，頗學文字。故其勒御部衆，擬則中國，出入弋獵，建立旌麾，以鼓節爲進退。建安中，因閻柔上貢獻。太祖西征關中，田銀反河間，比能將三千餘騎隨柔擊破銀。後代郡烏丸反，比能復助爲寇害，太祖以鄢陵侯彰爲驍騎將軍，北征，大破之。比能走出塞，後復通貢獻。延康初，比能遣使獻馬，文帝亦立比能爲附義王。黃初二年，比能出諸魏人在鮮卑者五百餘家，還居代郡。明年，比能帥部落大人小子代郡烏丸脩武盧等三千餘騎，驅牛馬七萬餘口交市，遣魏人千餘家居上谷。後與東部鮮卑大人素利及步度根三部爭鬪，更相攻擊。田豫和合，使不得相侵。五年，比能復擊素利，豫帥輕騎徑進掎其後。比能使別小帥瑣奴拒豫，豫進討，破走之，由是懷貳。乃與輔國將軍鮮于輔書曰：「夷狄不識文字，故校尉閻柔保我於天子。我與素利爲讎，往年攻擊之，而田校尉助素利。我臨陣使瑣奴往，聞使君來，即便引軍退。步度根數數鈔盜，又殺我弟，而誣我以鈔盜。我夷狄雖不知禮義，兄弟子孫受天子印綬，牛馬尚知美水草，況我有人心邪！將軍當保明我於天子。」輔得書以聞帝，帝復使豫招納安慰。比能衆遂彊盛，控弦十餘萬騎。每鈔畧得財物，均平分付，一決目前，終無所私，故得衆死力，餘部大人皆敬憚之，然猶未能及檀石槐也。

Suli was a Xianbei leader beyond the frontier in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang, and belonged to the Xianbei tribes. He does not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Deeds
During the Jian’an era, Suli sent tribute and opened trade with Cao Cao through Yan Rou. Cao Cao submitted a memorial recommending that he be enfeoffed as a king. At the beginning of the Yan’kang era, Suli sent envoys to present horses, and Emperor Wen enfeoffed him as the King Who Returns to Righteousness. (Recorded in the histories)
Suli once fought with Bimeng. Early in Emperor Wen’s reign, Suli broke the pact among the Xianbei tribes not to sell horses to the Central Plains and sold a thousand horses to the authorities. After Bimeng attacked him, he sought help from Tian Yu. (Recorded in the histories)
To rescue Suli, Tian Yu led troops deep into enemy territory and found a way to break out of the encirclement. Later, Tian Yu also induced men of Suli’s tribe to kill the bandit Gao Ai and send his head to the capital. (Recorded in the histories)
When Qian Zhao served as Colonel Protector of the Xianbei, he won over Suli, Mijia, and more than a hundred thousand households, bringing them into submission and establishing peaceful relations at the frontier. (Recorded in the histories)
In the second year of Taihe, Suli died. His son was still young, so his younger brother Chenglügui took his place as king and governed the tribesmen. (Recorded in the histories)
