左宗棠西征，檄湜率五營出固原，斷漢伯堡賊南趨河州之道，殲餘彥祿餘黨於羅家嶮。 On Zuo Zongtang's western campaign, Shi led five battalions from Guyuan to block the road south from Hanbobao toward Hezhou and wiped out Yu Yanlu's remnant band at Luojiaxian.

十年，進規河州，宗棠令湜盡護諸將渡洮進攻。 In 1871, in the advance on Hezhou, Zongtang had Shi escort the generals across the Tao for the attack.

湜陽置酒高會，密令總兵沈玉遂急搗之，馬占鼇窮蹙乞降，縛悍酋狗齒牙子等以獻。 Shi gave a lavish banquet while secretly ordering Brigadier Shen Yusui to strike; Ma Zhan'ao, cornered, surrendered and sent the fierce chief Gou Chiya and others bound as captives.

十二年，叛酋馬桂源、馬本源踞巴燕戎格，湜率軍進討，二酋敗遁。 In 1873 rebel chiefs Ma Guiyuan and Ma Benyuan held Bayan Rongge; Shi advanced against them and they were beaten and fled.

湜善視其孥，遂因佔鼇來降，數其罪誅之，並斬馬五麻諸悍目，賜號奇車伯巴圖魯。 He treated their families well; when Zhan'ao surrendered he listed their crimes and executed them, beheaded fierce leaders including Ma Wuma, and was awarded the Manchu title Qichebo Batulu.

湜深入其阻，群回縛悍目馬十八、沈五十七等二十餘人獻軍前，繳械受約束。 He penetrated their strongholds; the communities bound fierce leaders Ma Shiba, Shen Wushiqi, and more than twenty others and brought them in, surrendering arms and accepting terms.

湜規地勢，修城設官，分營扼駐，與西寧、碾伯、河州聲息相通焉。 He surveyed the ground, rebuilt walls, posted officials, garrisoned key points, and linked communications with Xining, Nianbo, and Hezhou.

湜從曾國荃最久，後屢蹶，仕久不進。 Shi had served Zeng Guoquan longer than anyone, but later suffered repeated setbacks and advanced slowly despite long service.

世稱為宿將，光緒中，命繪中興功臣於紫光閣，徵集諸將之像，湜與焉。 He was known as a veteran commander; in the Guangxu era, when portraits of restoration heroes were painted in the Hall of Purple Splendor, his was included.
