從張獻忠為賊，與李定國、劉文秀、艾能奇並為獻忠養子。 He followed Zhang Xianzhong in rebellion, and together with Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi was adopted as Xianzhong's son.

可望入雲南會城，遣定國徇迤東，而與文秀率兵西出，得副使楊畏知，相誓扶明室，與俱至楚雄，略迤西諸府。 Kewang entered the Yunnan provincial capital, sent Dingguo to secure the eastern circuit, and marched west with Wenxiu. He won over Vice Commissioner Yang Weizhi, and together they swore to restore the Ming. They advanced to Chuxiong and subdued the prefectures of the western circuit.

定國、文秀故等夷，不為可望下。 Dingguo and Wenxiu had originally been his equals and would not bow to Kewang.
