北面招討使杜重威奏，今月二日收復鎮州，斬安重榮，傳首闕下。 Northern campaign commander Du Chongwei reported that on the second of this month Zhenzhou had been retaken, An Chongrong beheaded, and his head sent to the capital.

〈（《遼史》云：戊辰，晉函安重榮首來獻，上數欲親討重榮，至是乃止。）〉 (《Liao History》: On wuchen, Later Jin presented An Chongrong's head in a box; the Khitan emperor had repeatedly intended to campaign against Chongrong in person, and only then abandoned the plan.)〉
