至孝文十四年，穨當及嬰率其眾降漢。 In the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen's reign, Tuidang and Ying led their followers in submitting to Han.

乃立子恒為代王，都中都，代、鴈門皆屬代。 He thereupon established his son Heng as King of Dai, with the capital at Zhongdu. The territories of Dai and Yanmen were both placed under his authority.
