《旧五代史·后唐·皇纪上》
现在军队虽有数万，如没有良将，进军也不会成功。我兄李司徒父子，去年得罪朝廷，现寄居在北面，雄才武略，为众人推服。
天子乃以武皇为雁门节度使，仍令以本军讨贼。
"Now the army has tens of thousands of soldiers, but without good generals, the campaign will not be successful. My brother, Li Situ and his son, offended the court last year and are now living in the north. They have great talent and military strategy and are admired by everyone."
