Fiyanggū (1645-1701), a member of Donggo clan assigned to the Manchu Plain White Banner, was the son of Count Third Class Ešo and younger brother of Empress Xiaoxian Duanjing. He inherited his title at the age of fourteen and became prominence as a Qing military commander during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor.

Biography During the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, Fiyanggū participated the campaigns in Jiangxi and Hunan, defeating the forces of Wu Sangui and his generals. For his achievements, he was promoted to Minister of the Imperial Guard (領侍衛內大臣) and became a member of the Imperial Deliberative Council (議政王大臣會議).Draft History of Qing Volume 281：「康熙十三年，從安親王岳樂率兵徇江西討吳三桂。三桂將黃乃忠糾眾萬餘自長沙犯袁州，費揚古與副都統沃赫、總兵趙應奎擊敗之，克萬載。十五年，擊走夏國相於萍鄉，進圍長沙，累戰皆捷。十八年，复敗吳國貴於武岡。師還，擢領侍衛內大臣，列議政大臣。」

He is best known for his crucial role in the Qing wars against Dzungar's Galdan Boshugtu Khan. In 1690, he participated in the Qing victory as a subordinate of Prince Fuquan at the Battle of Ulan Butung. In 1696, he was appointed Grand General (大將軍) and commander-in-chief of Qing's western armies in the Kangxi Emperor’s three-pronged campaign against Galdan. Coordinating with the emperor’s forces, Fiyanggū pursued the Dzungars and won a decisive victory at the Battle of Jao Modo, destroying much of Galdan’s army and forcing him to flee. The Kangxi Emperor highly praised Fiyanggū’s leadership, regarding him as one of the empire’s most capable commanders. In 1697, while preparing for a final campaign, Fiyanggū was informed that Galdan had died. He subsequently returned to Beijing, was promoted to Duke First Class (一等公爵), and resumed his post as Minister of the Imperial Guard.Draft History of Qing Volume 281：「噶爾丹劫掠喀爾喀，遣使諭罷兵，不從，數擾邊境。二十九年，授裕親王福全為撫遠大將軍，率師討之，命費揚古往科爾沁徵兵，參贊軍事。秋，擊敗噶爾丹於烏闌布通... 三十五年二月，詔親征，三路出師，以黑龍江將軍薩布素出東路，費揚古出西路，振武將軍孫思克、西安將軍博霽自陝西出鎮彝並進，上親督諸軍自獨石口出中路。上與費揚古期四月會師圖拉... 費揚古偵知噶爾丹走特勒爾濟，遣前鋒統領碩岱、副都統阿南達、阿迪等率兵先往挑戰，且戰且卻，誘至昭莫多... 分兵三隊，東則京城、西安諸軍及察哈爾蒙古兵，屯山上；西則右衛、大同諸軍及喀爾喀蒙古兵，沿河列陣；孫思克率綠旗兵居其中。並遵上方略，令官兵皆步戰，俟敵卻，乃上馬衝擊。噶爾丹眾猶有萬餘人，冒死鏖鬥，自未至酉，戰甚力。費揚古遙望噶爾丹後陣不動，知為婦女、駝畜所在，麾精騎襲其輜重，敵大亂，乘夜逐北三十餘裡，至特勒爾濟口，斬級三千餘，俘數百人，獲駝馬、牛羊、廬帳、器械無算。噶爾丹妻阿奴喀屯素悍，能戰，亦殪於陣。噶爾丹引數騎遠竄，費揚古令阿南達詣御營奏捷。上乃班師，令費揚古駐守科圖... 三十六年... 二月，上复親征，自榆林出塞，詔費揚古密籌進剿。費揚古以去歲未生擒噶爾丹，請解大將軍任，上不允，令便宜調遣軍馬。費揚古進次薩奇爾巴爾哈孫，丹濟拉使來，言噶爾丹至阿察阿穆塔台飲藥自殺，欲攜其屍及其女鍾齊海率三百戶來歸。費揚古以聞，上乃班師，令費揚古駐察罕諾爾以待... 費揚古有疾，詔昭武將軍馬思喀代領其軍。還京師，仍領侍衛內大臣，進一等公，仍以未生擒噶爾丹疏辭，不允，因諭曰：「昔朕欲親征噶爾丹，眾皆諫止，惟費揚古與朕意合，遂統兵西​​進。道路遼遠，兼乏水草，乃全無顧慮，直抵昭莫多，俾奸狡積寇挫衄大敗。累年統兵諸將，未有能過之者。 」又曰：屢出征，知為將甚難。費揚古相機調遣，緩急得宜，是以濟事。」

In 1701, while accompanying the Kangxi Emperor on an imperial tour, Fiyanggū fell ill. The emperor personally visited him, bestowed gifts, and arranged his return to the capital. However, Fiyanggū died shortly afterward and was posthumously honored with the title Xiangzhuang (襄壯, "Martial and Stalwart").Draft History of Qing Volume 281：「四十年，從幸索約勒濟，中途疾作，上駐蹕一日，親臨視疾，賜禦帳、蟒緞、鞍馬、帑銀五千，遣大臣護之還京師。尋卒，賜祭葬，諡襄壯。」 His son Centai inherited his hereditary rank.
