中和中，僖宗在蜀，有賊首孫喜者，聚徒數千人慾入武當，刺史呂煜惶駭無策略。 During Zhonghe, while Emperor Xizong was in Shu, a bandit leader named Sun Xi gathered several thousand followers and tried to enter Wudang. Prefect Lü Yu panicked and had no plan.

行襲伏勇士於江南，乘小舟逆喜，謂喜曰：「郡人得良牧，眾心歸矣，但緣兵多，民懼擄掠。 Xingxi met Xi on the river and told him, "The people have a good shepherd and their hearts have turned to him, but your troops are many and the people fear plunder.

喜然之。 Xi agreed.

既渡江，軍吏迎謁，伏甲奮起，行襲擊喜仆地，仗劍斬之，其黨盡殪，賊眾在江北者悉奔潰。 Across the river Xingxi ambushed and beheaded Xi; his band fled.
