從周德威攻劉守光於幽州，守光將單廷珪、元行欽以驍勇自負，魯奇每與二將鬥，輒不能解，兩軍皆釋兵而觀之。 With Zhou Dewei he besieged Liu Shouguang at Youzhou; Shouguang’s generals Shan Tinggui and Yuan Xingqin boasted of valor; Luqi duelled each in turn without decision, both armies watching.

思同事仁恭為銀胡錄指揮使，仁恭為其子守光所囚，思同奔晉，以為飛勝指揮使。 Sitong served Rengong as Silver Hu Record commander; when Shouguang imprisoned his father, Sitong fled to Jin as commander of the Flying Victory Army.
