又與崇韜子廷誨謀，令蜀人列狀見魏王，請奏崇韜為蜀帥。 He also plotted with Guo Chongtao's son Tinghui to have men of Shu submit collective petitions to the Prince of Wei asking that a memorial be sent appointing Guo Chongtao governor of Shu.

昨令蜀人請己為帥，郭廷誨擁徒出入，貴擬王者，所與狎遊，無非軍中驍果，蜀中凶豪，晝夜妓樂歡宴，指天畫地，父子如此，可見其心。 Just yesterday they had the people of Shu petition to make him regional commander. Guo Tinghui travels about surrounded by his own followers, carrying himself almost like a king. His companions are the army's boldest fighters and Shu's most dangerous ruffians. Day and night the two hold banquets of wine, music, and women, swearing reckless oaths with grand gestures—and from such conduct, father and son alike, their ambitions are plain.

廷誨自有金銀十萬兩，犀玉帶五十，藝色絕妓七十，樂工七十，他財稱是。 Guo Tinghui personally held a hundred thousand liang in gold and silver, fifty rhinoceros-horn and jade belts, seventy courtesans of rare beauty and talent, seventy musicians, and comparable riches besides.

崇韜有子五人，廷信、廷誨隨父死於蜀，廷說誅於洛陽，廷讓誅於魏州，廷議誅於太原，家產籍沒。 Guo Chongtao had five sons. Tingxin and Tinghui died with their father in Shu. Tingshuo was executed in Luoyang, Tingrang at Weizhou, and Tingyi at Taiyuan. The family's estates were confiscated.

延誨、廷讓各有幼子一人，姻族保之獲免，崇韜妻周氏，攜養於太原。 Tinghui and Tingrang each left a young son; kinsmen by marriage sheltered them and they were spared. Guo Chongtao's wife, Lady Zhou, took them in and raised them in Taiyuan.
