曾祖公，為金群牧使，太祖得其所牧馬，公死之。 His great-grandfather Gong had been the Jin director of imperial herds. When Genghis Khan seized the horses under his charge, Gong died resisting.

驍勇善騎射，從太祖征伐，有功，為蒙古漢軍徵行大元帥，鎮蜀，因家成都。 Brave and skilled in horsemanship and archery, he followed Genghis Khan on campaign, won distinction, became grand marshal on campaign of the Mongol Han army, guarded Shu, and settled his family in Chengdu.
