石敬瑭討董璋,思同為先鋒指揮使,兵入劍門,而後軍不繼,思同與璋戰,不勝而卻。
When Shi Jingtang attacked Dong Zhang, Sitong led the vanguard into Jianmen; the rear failed to follow; he fought Zhang, lost, and withdrew.

清泰二年,契丹數犯邊,廢帝以河東節度使石敬瑭兼大同、彰國、振武、威塞等軍蕃漢馬步軍都總管,屯於忻州,屯兵聚噪遮敬瑭呼「萬歲」,敬瑭斬三十餘人以止之。
In Qingtai’s second year Khitan raids multiplied; the Deposed Emperor made Shi Jingtang overall commander of the northern armies at Xinzhou; his troops mutinied, blocked him, and shouted “Long live!”; he beheaded thirty men to quell them.

明年夏,徙敬瑭鎮天平,遂以敬達為大同、彰國、振武、威塞等軍蕃漢馬步軍都部署,敬瑭因此遂反。

Jingtang replied, “You have marched far; the foe is strong—success matters, not haste.”
