李賤奴者，燕人，嘗以軍功遙領京兆府判，壬辰冬，車駕東狩，以都尉權東面元帥。 Li Jianu was a man of Yan who had once held the distant post of Jingzhao prefect administrator by military merit. In the winter of the renchen year, when the emperor went east on campaign, he served as commandant and acting eastern marshal.

立初反，以賤奴舊與敵體，頗貌敬之。 When Cui Li first rebelled, because Jianu had formerly held rank equal to the enemy's commanders, he treated him with outward respect.

數月之後，勢已固，遂視賤奴如部曲然。 After several months, once his power was secure, he treated Jianu like a common soldier.

賤奴積不能平，數出怨言，至是與琦等合。 Jianu had long been unable to accept this and often voiced complaints. By now he joined with Qi and the others.
