			To his misfortune, Lushan had just received news of his eldest son [[An Qingzong\|Qingzong]]'s execution at [[Chang'an]]. When Jieran was brought bound before Lushan, Lushan asked for his identity, to which Jieran announced his name, position, and orders to "pacify the rebellion". These words incited Lushan's rage. Already grieving over his son, he drew his [[dao\|great saber]] and commanded Jieran to look at him. The Tang officer dared not do so, but this merely aggravated Lushan even more. Lushan's advisor [[Yan Zhuang]] reminded him that prisoners-of-war must be spared, but the rebel commander swatted him aside and grabbed Jieran by his face with one hand to force him to stare into his eyes.<ref name="Dynasty 17" />

			By this point, Jieran had lost all composure. He trembled in fear as Lushan shouted at him, "''I am coming to Chang'an to eradicate corruption... what crime is there? And for my son... what crime was there?!''" Thusly, he was beheaded by Lushan in a frenzy. Lushan's vengeance not sated by this kill, he then proceeded to order the massacre of all the other Chenliu prisoners, which amounted to a death toll of nearly 10,000 men.<ref name="Dynasty 17" />
