當聲桓叛時，李成棟以廣東應之，南昌圍急，成棟赴援。 When Shenghuan rebelled, Li Chengdong rose in Guangdong; as Nanchang tightened, Chengdong marched to its aid.

譚泰師將至贛州，聞成棟入信豐，譚泰遣諸將乘勝襲擊，成棟兵潰，溺水死，克信豐。 Near Ganzhou Tan Tai learned Chengdong was at Xinfeng; he sent generals in pursuit, Chengdong's force broke, he drowned, and Xinfeng was taken.

命佐譚泰定江西，擊破金聲桓、王得仁、李成棟，事具譚泰傳。 He was ordered to aid Tan Tai in pacifying Jiangxi, defeating Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, and Li Chengdong—as recounted in Tan Tai's biography.
