初，苻登既為姚興所滅，登弟廣率部落降於德，拜冠軍將軍，處之乞活堡。 When Fu Deng fell to Yao Xing, his brother Fu Guang led their followers to submit to Murong De, who named him Champion General and settled them at Qihuo Fort.

會熒惑守東井，或言秦當復興者，廣乃自稱秦王，敗德將慕容鐘。 Mars stood over Dongjing; some claimed Former Qin would revive. Fu Guang thereupon proclaimed himself King of Qin and routed Murong De's general Murong Zhong.

及鐘喪師，反側之徒多歸於廣。 After Murong Zhong's defeat, many wavering followers went over to Fu Guang.

德乃留慕容和守滑台，親率眾討廣，斬之。 Murong De left Murong He to hold Huatai, marched in person against Fu Guang, and killed him.
