Biography

李彦韬,太原人。
旧五代史卷八十八(晋书) 列传三:
  李彦韬,太原人也。少事邢州节度使阎宝为皂隶,宝卒,高祖收于帐下。及起义,以少帝留守北京,因留彦韬为腹心。历客将、牙门都校,以纤巧故,厚承委用。及少帝嗣位,授蔡州刺史,入为内客省使、宣徽南院使。未几,遥领寿州节度,充侍卫马军都指挥使、检校太保,俄改陈州节度使,典军如故。每在帝侧,升除将相,但与宦官近臣缔结,致外情不通,陷君于危亡之地。尝谓人曰:“朝廷所设文官将何用也。”且欲澄汰而除废之,则可知其辅弼之道也。及契丹犯阙,迁少帝于开封府。一日,少帝遣人急召彦韬,将与计事,彦韬辞不赴命,少帝怏恨久之,其负国辜君也如是。及少帝北迁,戎王遣彦韬从行,洎至蕃中,隶于国母帐下。永康王举兵攻国母,以伟王为前锋,国母发兵拒之,以彦韬为排阵使,彦韬降于伟王,伟王置之帐下,其后卒于幽州。
