大定初，契丹叛，從左副元帥謀衍以本部兵討賊，戰於肇州之長濼。 Early in the Dading era, when the Khitan rose in revolt, Xiang followed the Left Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mouyan with his unit to suppress them and fought at Changpo in Zhaozhou.

謀衍握其手曰：「今日之捷，皆公力也。」 Mouyan took his hand and said: "Today's victory is entirely your doing."

襄謂謀衍曰：「今不乘此平殄，後將有悔。」 Xiang told Mouyan: "If we do not annihilate them now, we will regret it later."

謀衍然之。 Mouyan agreed.

會朝廷遣平章政事僕散忠義代謀衍將，襄複從忠義追賊至嫋嶺西之陷泉，及之，率右翼身先奮擊，賊大潰，人馬相蹂而死，陷泉幾平。 When the court sent Grand Councilor Pusan Zhongyi to replace Mouyan in command, Xiang again followed Zhongyi in pursuit to Xianquan west of Niaoling. He overtook the enemy, led the right wing in a personal charge, and routed them so completely that men and horses trampled one another to death; Xianquan was nearly cleared.
