祿山又以親將徐歸道為節度使，希逸率兵與安東都護王玄誌斬之，遣使上聞，詔拜玄誌平盧節度使。 Lushan then installed his favorite Xu Guidao as military governor; Xiyi joined Andong protector Wang Xuanzhi in killing him, reported to the court, and Xuanzhi was appointed military governor of Pinglu.

玄誌卒，副將李正己殺其子，共推希逸，有詔就拜節度使，兼御史大夫。 When Xuanzhi died, deputy Li Zhengji killed his son and the army acclaimed Xiyi; he was appointed military governor on the spot and made grand censor as well.
