明日戊辰，西面元帥崔立與其党孛術魯長哥、韓鐸、藥安國等為變，率甲卒二百橫刀入省中，拔劍指二相曰：「京城危困已極，二公坐視百姓餓死，恬不為慮，何也？」
The next day, on wuchen day, western marshal Cui Li and his followers Boshulu Changge, Han Duo, Yao Anguo, and others staged a mutiny. Leading two hundred armored soldiers with swords at the ready, they entered the secretariat, drew their blades, and pointed at the two chief ministers: "The capital's plight has reached its limit. You sit by while the people starve to death and show no concern—why?"
藥安國者，管州人，年二十餘，有勇力。
Yao Anguo was from Guan Prefecture, a little over twenty years old, and known for his courage and strength.
立將為變，潛結納之，安國健啖，日飽之以魚，遂與之謀。
When Cui Li was planning his mutiny, he secretly recruited Anguo, a hearty eater whom he fed daily on fish until they joined in the plot.
其党孛術魯長哥御史中丞，韓鐸都元帥兼知開封府事，折希顏、藥安國、張軍奴並元帥，師肅左右司郎中，賈良兵部郎中兼右司都事，內府之事皆主之。
His followers received offices: Boshulu Changge became censor-in-chief; Han Duo overall marshal and concurrent prefect of Kaifeng; Zhe Xiyan, Yao Anguo, and Zhang Junnu all marshals; Shi Su left and right bureau director; Jia Liang bureau director of war and concurrent right bureau director. They controlled all inner palace affairs.
初，立假安國之勇以濟事，至是複忌之，聞安國納一都尉夫人，數其違約斬之。
At first Cui Li had relied on Anguo's courage for the coup, but now he grew jealous. Learning that Anguo had taken a commandant's wife, he accused him of breaking their pact and had him beheaded.
