會邛州賊阡能眾數萬略諸縣，列壁數十，涪州刺史韓秀升等亂峽中，韓求反蜀州，諸將不能定。 About then the Qiongzhou rebel Qian Neng led tens of thousands in raiding the counties behind dozens of fortified camps, while Han Xiusheng of Fuzhou and others terrorized the gorges and Han Qiu rose in Shuzhou—none of the commanders could put them down.

韓求知大賊已禽，徇諸壁曰：「敢出者斬！」 Han Qiu, now that the great rebel had been taken, announced to the camps, “Anyone who comes out will be executed!”

眾罵之，求赴水死，眾鉤出，斬以徇，余柵皆下。 His followers cursed him. Qiu tried to drown himself, but they dragged him out with hooks, beheaded him as an example, and the rest of the stockades capitulated.
