後為郭子儀朔方節度留後，大將孫守亮擁重兵，驕蹇不受制，嗣恭因稱疾，守亮至，即殺之，一軍皆震。 Later, as acting commissioner under Guo Ziyi's Shuofang command, he faced the arrogant general Sun Shouliang, who held a large force and refused obedience. Sigong feigned illness; when Shouliang came to call, he had him killed at once, and the whole army was shaken.
