夏人寇環慶，种諤拒之，詔河東出師為援，克行請往。 When the Tangut raided Huanqing and Chong Shi held them off, the court ordered Hedong to send reinforcements; Kexing volunteered.

諤使以兵三千護餉道，戰於葭蘆川，先登，斬級四百，降戶千，馬畜萬計。 Chong Shi gave him three thousand men to guard the supply line; at Jialu River he led the assault, took four hundred heads, received the surrender of a thousand households, and captured tens of thousands of horses and livestock.

從种諤出塞，遇敵馬以少年易之，可適索與鬥，斬其首，取馬而還，益知名，米脂之役，與夏人戰三角嶺，得級多，又敗之於蒲桃谷東。 On campaign with Chong Shi beyond the border, he met enemy horsemen who mocked his youth; Keshi challenged one to single combat, cut off his head, seized his horse, and rode back to growing fame; at Mizhi he fought the Tangut at Sanjiao Ridge with many kills and routed them again east of Putao Valley.
