乃詔與郭子儀、僕固懷恩掎角。 He was ordered to coordinate with Guo Ziyi and Pugu Huai'en in mutual support.

嗣業謂子儀曰：「今日不蹈萬死取一生，則軍無類矣。」 Siye told Guo Ziyi, "Unless we risk everything today to win our one chance of survival, this army is finished."

與子儀等圍相州，師耄，諸將無功，獨嗣業被堅數奮，為諸軍冠。 Besieging Xiangzhou with Guo Ziyi and the others, the army was exhausted and the generals accomplished little; Siye alone, in full armor, charged again and again and stood first among all the forces.
