希萼怒，送款於李景，舉兵攻長沙。 Enraged, Xie pledged allegiance to Li Jing of Southern Tang and marched on Changsha.

明年，漢隱帝崩，京師大亂，希萼遂臣於李景，景冊封希萼楚王，希萼悉以軍政事任其弟希崇。 The next year Emperor Yin of Han died and the capital plunged into chaos. Xie then submitted to Li Jing, who enfeoffed him as King of Chu. Xie entrusted all military and civil affairs to his younger brother Xichong.

希崇遣彭師暠、廖偃囚希萼於衡山，師暠奉希萼為衡山王，臣於李景。 Xichong sent Peng Shigao and Liao Yan to imprison Xie at Hengshan. Shigao set Xie up as King of Hengshan under Li Jing.

希崇懼，亦請命於景。 Afraid, Xichong also sought orders from Jing.

景遣邊鎬入楚，盡遷馬氏之族于金陵，時周廣順元年也。 Jing sent Bian Hao into Chu and moved the entire Ma clan to Jinling. It was the first year of Guangshun (951).

已而揚州復入於景，希崇率其兄弟十七人歸京師，拜右羽林統軍，希能左屯衛大將軍，希貫右千牛衛大將軍，希隱、希浚、希知、希朗皆為節度行軍司馬。 Soon Yangzhou returned to Southern Tang control. Xichong led seventeen brothers to the capital. He became commander of the Right Imperial Guard; Xineng, grand general of the Left Palace Guard; Xiguan, grand general of the Right Imperial Bull Lancers; and Xiyin, Xijun, Xizhi, and Xilang received staff appointments under various military commissioners.
