其妻阿裏黑攜幼子孛要合與侄鎮國逃難，夜遁至界垣，告守者，縋城以登，因避地雲中。 His wife Alihei fled with the infant Xueyaohe and nephew Zhenguo. By night they reached the border wall, persuaded the guards to haul them up by rope, and took refuge in Yunzhong.

太祖既定雲中，購求得之，賜與甚厚，乃追封阿剌兀思剔吉忽裏為高唐王，阿裏黑為高唐王妃，以其子孛要合尚幼，先封其侄鎮國為北平王。 After Genghis Khan secured Yunzhong he found them through a reward offer and treated them generously. He posthumously enfeoffed Alawusitijihuli as King of Gaotang and Alihei as Consort of the King of Gaotang. Because Xueyaohe was still young, he first enfeoffed the nephew Zhenguo as King of Beiping.

鎮國薨，子聶古臺襲爵，尚睿宗女獨木幹公主，略地江淮，薨於軍，賜興州民千餘戶，給其葬。 When Zhenguo died his son Nieguotai inherited the title and married Tolui's daughter Princess Dumugan. He campaigned across the Jiang-Huai region and died on campaign; more than a thousand households of Xingzhou were granted for his funeral.
