泓將姚恢棄安定，奔于長安，安定人胡儼、華韜率戶五萬據安定，降於勃勃。 Yao Hui abandoned Anding for Chang'an; Hu Yan and Hua Tao held Anding with fifty thousand households and surrendered to Bobo.

以儼為侍中，韜為尚書，留鎮東羊苟兒鎮之，配以鮮卑五千。 He made Yan Attendant-in-Ordinary and Tao Master of Writing, left the General Who Garrisons the East, Yang Gou'er, to garrison Anding with five thousand Xianbei.

胡儼等襲殺苟兒，以城降泓。 Hu Yan killed Gou'er and surrendered the city to Hong.
