《元史·列传·卷八十一》
嘉决计将家中所有衣服财物犒赏民兵，以鼓舞士气。且说 ：自我祖宗以来，对王室都有功勋，我现在尽忠朝廷，是分内之事。况身守此土，当置生死于度外，身外之物，又何足恤？ 不久，义军至，围城数十里，且高呼： 我已得辽阳，何不出降！ 嘉开西门迎战，众寡不敌，力战阵亡。
嘉挽弓射呼者，中其左颊，堕马死，贼稍引退，嘉遂开西门逐之，贼大至，力战以死。
Jia decided to reward the militia with all the clothes and belongings in his house to boost morale. And said: Since my ancestors, I have made contributions to the royal family. Now I am loyal to the court, and it is my duty. Moreover, those who defend this land should put life and death aside. What's more, the things outside the body? Not long after, the rebel army arrived, besieging the city for dozens of miles, and shouted: I have obtained Liaoyang, why don't you come out and surrender! Jia opened the west gate to fight, but the crowd was no match, and he died in battle.
