His sons were Xianggu and Daogu. Edit
In the Yuanhe period, Xianggu was raised from Prefect of Hengzhou to Protector-General of Annam. He was greedy, self-indulgent and lawless. Yang Qing, Prefect of Huan Prefecture, was a chieftain of the Man. Xianggu, wary of his power, summoned him to be a headquarters commander, and Qing was constantly resentful and thought of rebellion. When a campaign was launched against the Huang rebels, Xianggu sent armoured troops to help, and gave Qing three thousand men. Qing and his son Zhilie turned back and attacked Annam, killing Xianggu together with his family. An edict pardoned Qing and made him Prefect of Qiong Prefecture, and appointed Gui Zhongwu Protector-General. Qing refused the command. Zhongwu sent word separately to the chieftains, and their troops all came over to him; he took the city, beheaded Qing and wiped out his clan. Edit
