《北史·列传·卷四十八》
李密虽然占有粮食，却没有府库，将士多次战斗而得不到赏赐。对于新投降来的人，待遇却特别优厚。因而，大家心里渐生怨忿。
密虽据仓，无府库，兵数战不赏，又厚抚初附兵，于是众心渐怨。
Although Li Mi had food, he had no treasury, and his soldiers fought many times without receiving rewards. However, he treated the newly surrendered people particularly well. As a result, everyone's hearts gradually grew resentful.
