羌虜犯塞，憙因其隙會，不及啟聞，輒以便宜出軍深入，遂大克獲，以功重免譴，時人比之漢朝馮、甘焉。 When Qiang raiders broke through the frontier, Xi seized the moment, moved troops deep into their territory without waiting for court approval, and won a major victory; his merit outweighed any rebuke, and people likened him to Feng Fengshi and Gan Yanshou of the Han.
