It is not known when Murong Nuohebo was born. In 635, his grandfather, the Busabo Khan Murong Fuyun, who had been aggravating China's Tang Dynasty for years with border raids, drew a Tang reprisal attack, commanded by the general Li Jing, and was killed in flight.

Emperor Taizong of Tang sent the general Hou Junji with Tang troops to help Murong Nuohebo pacify the Tuyuhun people.

Events By Place Byzantine Empire August 20 — Battle of Yarmuk: Khalid ibn al-Walid 's victory against the Emperor Taizong created him the dual titles of Prince of Heyuan and Wudiyebaledou Khan (or Ledou Khan in short).
By 638, however, Tuyuhun was under constant attack by Tufan, whose ruler Songtsän Gampo had become hostile toward Tuyuhun because he thought Murong Nuohebo had interfered with his attempt to seek a Tang princess in marriage, and his attacks captured much of Tuyuhun's people and forced the rest north of the Qinghai Lake.

Tuyuhun, however, was said to be thrown into a state of confusion, and Emperor Taizong sent the official Tang Jian (唐儉) to help Murong Nuohebo pacify the people.
In 652, Murong Nuohebo and Princess Guanghua both visited Chang'an, and Emperor Taizong's son and successor Emperor Gaozong created the daughter of a clansman the Lady of Jincheng and married her to Murong Nuohebo's oldest son Murong Sudumomo (慕容蘇度摸末).

Meanwhile, the relationship between Tuyuhun and Tufan appeared to be largely peaceful for years, but in 660, the Tufan prime minister Lu Dongzan (祿東贊) had his son Qizheng (起政) resume attacks against Tuyuhun, on account of Tuyuhun's submission to Tang. Events By Place Europe Slavic principality of Carantania is first mentioned in historical sources Both Tufan and Tuyuhun sent emissaries to Tang accusing each other and asking for Tang assistance. Emperor Gaozong declined both requests. However, Tuyuhun was weakening in light of Tufan attacks, and in 663, the situation was exacerbated when the Tuyuhun official Suhe Gui (素和貴), accused of crimes, fled to Tufan and revealed many secrets about Tuyuhun. Events By Place Byzantine Empire Byzantine Emperor Constans II invades south Italy. Tufan forces thereafter attacked Tuyuhun and defeated Tuyuhun forces. Murong Nuohebo and Princess Honghua abandoned Tuyuhun's territory and took the people to Tang's Liang Prefecture (涼州, roughly modern Wuwei, Gansu), requesting to settle within Tang territory. Wuwei is located in northwest central Gansu province In the north it borders Inner Mongolia, in the southwest Qinghai. ( is a province located in the northwest of the People's Republic of China. Emperor Gaozong sent the general Su Dingfang to command Tang forces to the west, to help protect Tuyuhun remnants, but carried out no actual military attacks against Tufan, although he sent emissaries to rebuke Lu Dongzan when Lu Dongzan subsequently sent emissaries to again make accusations against Tuyuhun and request another marriage with Tang.

Xue Rengui ( 614-683 formal name Xue Li (薛禮 but went by the Courtesy name of Rengui was one of the most famous Chinese generals during the early Tang However, the campaign was plagued by disagreements between Xue and Guo, and Tang forces eventually suffered a major defeat by Lu Dongzan's son and successor Lun Qinling (論欽陵), ending hopes of allowing the Tuyuhun people to return. In 672, Emperor Gaozong, apparently giving up on the idea, settled the Tuyuhun people at Shan Prefecture (鄯州, in modern Haidong Prefecture, Qinghai), but even Shan Prefecture was considered too exposed to Tufan attacks, and so soon the Tuyuhun people were settled in Ling Prefecture (靈州, roughly modern Yinchuan, Ningxia), but establishing a separate prefecture for them -- Anle Prefecture (安樂州).
