時爲石雄、劉沔所襲，破之，復爲幽州節度使張仲武所攻，餘衆西奔，歸於吐蕃，吐蕃處之甘州，由是族帳微弱。 Shi Xiong and Liu Mian then struck and broke them, and Zhang Zhongwu, military governor of Youzhou, attacked them again. The survivors fled west and submitted to Tubo, which resettled them in Gan Prefecture. From that point their tribal power waned.
