Yang Guangyuan
With Liao forces gone, the Later Jin forces started the direct assault on Pinglu in earnest. Shi sent Li Shouzhen the military governor of Taining Circuit (泰寧, headquartered in modern Jining, Shandong), to attack Qing. (Why he sent Li Shouzhen was that Li Shouzhen and Yang previously had grudges with each other.) By the time of new year 945, the food supply in the city was exhausted, and many people have starved to death. This caused Yang to, while bowing toward the direction of Liao, lament, "Emperor, Emperor, you have failed Guangyuan." His sons Yang Chengxun, Yang Chengzuo, and Yang Chengxin () tried to persuade him to surrender, hoping that the clan could be saved, but he refused. Yang Chengxun finally forcibly seized Yang Guangyuan and put him under house arrest, executed a number of staff members who had encouraged his rebellion, and then surrendered to Li Shouzhen.
