Book of Chen, Chapter 4Volume 4: Emperor Fei · 1 passage

張安國蕞爾凶狡，窮為小盜，仍遣使人蔣裕鉤出上京，即置行臺，分選凶黨。 Zhang Anguo, mean, violent, and sly, had shrunk to a petty robber, yet still sent Jiang Yu to draw men from the capital, set up a field headquarters, and pick out hardened criminals.

Book of Chen, Chapter 7Volume 7: Empresses and Consorts · 2 passages

后憂悶計無所出，乃密賂宦者蔣裕，令誘建安人張安國，使據郡反，冀因此以圖高宗。 The empress, anxious and at her wits' end, secretly bribed the eunuch Jiang Yu to stir Zhang Anguo of Jian'an into holding the commandery in rebellion, hoping thus to move against Emperor Xuan.

安國事覺，並為高宗所誅。 When Anguo's plot was discovered, Emperor Xuan had them all executed.
