珍在軍嘗私迎其室於汴，而不先請，太祖疑之，密令唐賓察之，二將不相下，因而交諍。
Zhen had his wife brought to Bian without permission; the Founder suspected collusion and set Tangbin to watch—the two generals quarreled and would not yield.
唐賓夜斬關還汴以訴，珍亦棄軍單騎而至，太祖兩惜之，故不罪，俾還於師。
Tangbin broke through at night to complain at Bian; Zhen rode alone from the camp; the Founder valued both and sent them back without punishment.
龍紀初，與諸將屯於蕭縣，以禦時溥，珍慮太祖自至，令諸軍葺馬廄以候巡撫，李唐賓之裨將嚴郊獨慢焉，軍候範權恃珍以督之。
Early Longji he held Xiaoxian against Shi Pu; expecting the Founder's inspection, Zhen ordered every unit to rebuild its stables; Yan Jiao, Tangbin's lieutenant, alone was slack, and Fan Quan, backed by Zhen, pressed him.
唐賓素與珍不協，果怒，乃見以訴其事。
Tangbin had long hated Zhen; predictably furious, he went to the Founder to complain.
太祖初聞唐賓之死，驚駭，與敬翔謀，詐令有司收捕唐賓妻子下獄，以安珍心。
When the Founder first heard Tangbin was dead he was shocked; with Jing Xiang he pretended to arrest Tangbin's family to calm Zhen.
太祖遂徑往蕭縣，距蕭一舍，珍率將校迎謁，梁祖令武士執之，責其專殺，命丁會行戮。
The Founder rode straight to Xiao county; a stage short of the city Zhen came out with his officers to greet him; the Liang Founder had guards seize him, blamed him for killing on his own authority, and ordered Ding Hui to carry out the sentence.
都將霍存等數十人叩頭以救，太祖怒，以坐床擲之，乃退。
Several dozen commanders led by Huo Cun kowtowed to beg for his life; the Founder in rage hurled his couch at them, and they fell back.
唐中和三年，太祖鎮汴，嘗大閱戎旅，睹其材，甚偉之，因錫名思安，字貞臣。
In Zhonghe 3 of Tang, when the Founder held Bian he reviewed the troops, admired his build, and gave him the name Si'an, styled Zhenchen.
思安善飛槊，所向披靡，每從太祖征伐，常馳馬出敵陣之後，測其厚薄而還。
Si'an wielded the flying lance to devastating effect and often rode alone behind enemy lines to test their strength before returning.
太祖甚惜之，命副王虔裕為踏白將。
The Founder valued him and made him Wang Qianyu's deputy as Tread-White commander.
時巢、蔡合從，太祖每遣偵邏，必率先獨往。
While Huang Chao and the Cai rebels were allied, Si'an always went ahead alone whenever the Founder sent scouts.
太祖怒甚，詔疏其罪，盡奪其官爵，委本郡以民戶係焉。
The Founder was furious, published his crimes, stripped every rank, and bound him to his home prefecture as a common household.
太祖嘗因命將授鉞，謂左右曰：「李思安當敵果敢，無出其右者，然每遇藩方擇材，吾將用之，則敗聞必至，如是者二三矣，則知飛將數奇，前史豈虛言哉！」
Once, as he gave axes to his generals, the Founder told his attendants: "Li Si'an is matchless in a fight, yet whenever I post him to a frontier command defeat follows—two or three times now. The old books were right about unlucky flying generals!"
及太祖北征，以候騎之誤，落然無所具，而復壁壘荒圮，帑廩空竭，太祖怒，貶柳州司戶，尋賜死於相州。
On a northern campaign the Founder arrived unexpectedly; Si'an had nothing ready, his walls were broken, and his stores were bare. The Founder demoted him to Liuzhou registrar and soon had him executed at Xiangzhou.
〈（《通鑒》：開化元年丙午，至相州，刺史李思安不意帝猝至，落然無具，坐削官爵。
(The 《Zizhi Tongjian》 says: In Qianhua 1, on the bingwu day, the Emperor reached Xiangzhou; Prefect Li Si'an, caught unprepared, was stripped of rank on the spot.
二年正月丁卯，帝至獲嘉，追思李思安去歲供饋有闕，貶柳州司戶，尋長流思安於崖州，賜死。）〉
In the first month of the second year, dingmao day, at Huojia he recalled Si'an's short rations the year before, demoted him to Liuzhou registrar, then exiled him to Yazhou and ordered his death.)
