元嘉二十一年，索虜主拓跋燾擊芮芮大敗，安都與宗人薛永宗起義，永宗營汾曲，安都襲得弘農。 In the twenty-first year of Yuanjia, the Northern Wei emperor Tuoba Tao was routed in a campaign against the Rouran. Andou joined his kinsman Xue Yongzong in rebellion. Yongzong established his camp on the Fen River bend while Andou seized Hongnong by surprise.

燾自率眾擊永宗，滅其族，進擊蓋吳。 Tao led his army in person against Yongzong, annihilated his entire clan, and then marched on Gai Wu.
