饒沈毅有才幹，始事晉高祖。 Rao was steady, resolute, and capable. He first entered the service of Jin Gaozu.

時安從進叛於襄陽，晉祖命高行周率兵討之，以饒為行營步軍都指揮使，賊平，授深州刺史。 When An Congjin rebelled at Xiangyang, the Jin founder ordered Gao Xingzhou to suppress him and made Rao overall commander of the campaign infantry. After the rebels were defeated, Rao was appointed prefect of Shenzhou.
