會賊黨万俟阿寶戰敗逃還，私告賢曰：「醜奴已敗，王師行至此。 When the defeated rebel Moqi Abao fled back to the city, he confided to Li Xian: "Chounu is beaten. The imperial army is almost upon us.

阿寶以性命相投，願能存濟。」 I stake my life on you—please find some way to save me."

賢因令阿寶偽為醜奴使，紿道洛等曰：「今已破臺軍，須與公計事，令阿寶權守原州，公宜速往。」 Li Xian then had Abao pose as Chounu's messenger and deceive Daoluo and his men: "We have routed the imperial army and need to confer with you at once. Abao will hold Yuan Province for now—you must come immediately."
