十二年，從莊宗入魏，擊劉鄩有功，轉天雄軍都指揮使。 In the twelfth year he followed Zhuangzong into Wei, fought Liu Xun with distinction, and was made overall commander of the Tianxiong army.

劉鄩之北趣樂平也，嗣恩襲之，倍程先入晉陽。 When Liu Xun marched north toward Leping, Si'en struck at him, forced the pace, and entered Jinyang ahead of him.

時城中無備，得嗣恩兵至，人百其勇，鄩聞其先過，乃遁。 The city was unprepared. When Si'en's troops arrived, every man fought as if he were worth a hundred. Xun, hearing that Si'en had passed him, fled.
