伯之子虎牙，時爲直閤將軍，高祖手疏龍符罪，親付虎牙，虎牙封示伯之； Bozhi's son Huya was Direct Attendant general; Gaozu wrote Longfu's crimes in his own hand for Huya, and Huya showed his father;

遣信還都報虎牙兄弟，虎牙等走盱眙，盱眙人徐安、莊興紹、張顯明邀擊之，不能禁，反見殺。 He sent word to his sons at the capital; Huya and his brothers fled to Xuyi, where Xu An, Zhuang Xingshao, and Zhang Xianming ambushed them—failed to stop them and were killed instead.

王茂前軍旣至，伯之表裏受敵，乃敗走，間道亡命出江北，與子虎牙及褚緭俱入魏。 Mao's vanguard came; caught between two fires, Bozhi fled by hidden paths north of the river and entered Wei with Huya and Chu Wei.

虎牙爲魏人所殺。 Huya was killed by the Wei.

東昏遣軍主巴西梓潼二郡太守吳子陽、光子衿、李文釗、陳虎牙等十三軍援郢，至加湖不得進，乃築城舉烽，城內亦舉火應之。 Donghun sent army commanders including Wu Ziyang, Grand Administrator of Baxi and Zitong commanderies, Guang Zijin, Li Wenzhao, and Chen Huya with thirteen armies to relieve Ying; at Jiahu they could advance no farther and built a fortified camp with beacon fires, which the besieged answered with signal fires of their own.
