阿利潛遣勁勇篡勃勃于路，送于姚興高平公沒奕于，奕于以女妻之。 Ali secretly sent bold men to snatch Bobo on the road and convey him to Moyiyu, Duke of Gaoping under Yao Xing, who gave Bobo his daughter in marriage.

乃以勃勃為安遠將軍，封陽川侯，使助沒奕于鎮高平，以三城、朔方雜夷及衛辰部眾三萬配之，使為伐魏偵候。 He then made Bobo General Who Pacifies the Distant and Marquis of Yangchuan, set him to aid Moyiyu in holding Gaoping, and gave him thirty thousand men drawn from the mixed tribes of Sancheng and Shuofang and from Wei Chen's following, with orders to reconnoiter against Wei.

時河西鮮卑杜崘獻馬八千匹于姚興，濟河，至大城，勃勃留之，召其眾三萬餘人偽獵高平川，襲殺沒奕於而並其眾，眾至數萬。 About then the Hexi Xianbei chief Du Lun brought eight thousand horses as tribute to Yao Xing, crossed the river, and came to Dacheng. Bobo held him there, called up his own force of more than thirty thousand under the guise of a hunt on the Gaoping River, struck and killed Moyiyu, took over his troops, and raised his following to tens of thousands.
