Yan Gaoqing and his son Yan Jiming were executed in Luoyang, and Lushan sent a Yeluohe envoy, Duan Ziguang, to Gaoqing with this news and the heads of the three top officials of Luoyang to attempt to intimidate Zhenqing into submitting Pingyuan. However, survivors from the Battle of Changshan, alongside the Hidden One Li E, had arrived before him with an alliance proposal to Zhenqing. They ambushed and slaughtered the Yeluohe delegation, upon which Zhenqing formally approved their request for him to take command of the Hebei Loyalist Army, drawing on the Assassins' Northern Treasury Under Heaven to fund and equip new recruits.
