熙州兵千人失道盡死，文振歸罪於可適，楶即下之吏，宰相章惇欲按軍法，哲宗不許，猶削十三官而罷。
A thousand Xizhou troops lost their way and perished; Wenzhen blamed Keshi, and Jie had him arrested; Chancellor Zhang Dun wanted him executed under military law, but Zhezong refused, though he still stripped thirteen ranks and removed him from command.
帝為御文德殿受賀，以其地為西安州，遷可適東上閤門使、洺州防禦使、涇原鈐轄、知州事，真拜和州防禦使，進明州觀察使，為副都總管。
The emperor received congratulations in the Wende Hall and made the region Xi'anzhou; Keshi was promoted to eastern upper gate envoy, defense commissioner of Mingzhou (Hebei), Jingyuan commander, and prefect, then confirmed as defense commissioner of Hezhou and observation commissioner of Mingzhou (Zhejiang), and made deputy overall commander.
詔使人覲，帝以傳策訪焉，對曰：「得之易，守之難，當先侵弱其地，待吾藩籬既固，然後可圖。」
Summoned to court, he was asked about Chuan's plan and answered, "It is easy to take but hard to hold; we should first wear down their territory and only when our frontier defenses are solid plan a full conquest."
帝曰：「卿言是也。」
The emperor said, "You are right."
