Yinnai Tegin

Yinnai Tegin was a tegin of the eastern Göktürks. He went over to the Tang at the end of 629.^[1] The Jiu Tang Shu names him once, beside Töles and the Yushe Shad.^[1]

In 629 Ilig Khan had called himself a subject of the Tang and asked for a princess. Then he supported the rebel Liang Shidu again.^[1] The emperor Taizong sent Li Jing and five other commanders against him.^[1] In the twelfth month Töles, the Yushe Shad, the tegin Yinnai and others came over with their people.^[2] The Xin Tang Shu places their coming after the Tang commander Li Daozong had fought at Lingzhou. He had taken men and herds by the ten thousand.^[3] Their crossing belongs to the Tang conquest of the eastern khaganate.

The Jiu Tang Shu writes his name 廕奈. The Xin Tang Shu writes 蔭奈, and the Tongdian writes 蔭柰.^[4] The histories record nothing more of him.
