Guō

Guo Zixing led a Red Turban force based at Haozhou in the Jianghuai region. A native of Dingyuan, he joined other commanders in taking Haozhou in 1352, and Zhu Yuanzhang entered his service that year and married his adopted daughter.

Guo and Zhu later moved south, taking Chuzhou and Hezhou. After Guo died in 1355, his son Guo Tianxu and brother-in-law Zhang Tianyou claimed his command, but both died attacking Nanjing that year, helping Zhu consolidate his leadership.
