自莊宗經略河朔，與鎔連衡，常令習率師從莊宗征討。
Once Zhuangzong began his campaigns in the Hebei north and allied with Wang Rong, he regularly ordered Fu Xi to lead Zhao troops on Zhuangzong's campaigns.
習雨泣訴於莊宗曰：「臣本趙人，家世事王氏，故使嘗授臣一劍，俾臣平蕩凶寇。
Fu Xi wept bitterly before Zhuangzong and said, "I am a man of Zhao. For generations my house served the Wang family. The late lord once gave me a sword and charged me to crush the murderers.
莊宗曰：「爾既懷舊君之愛，可復仇乎？
Zhuangzong said, "If you still love your old master, will you take revenge?
習等舉身投地，號慟感激，謝曰：「王必以故使輔翼之勞，雪其冤恥，臣不敢期師旅為助，但悉本軍可以誅其逆豎。」
Fu Xi and his officers prostrated themselves, wept in gratitude, and said, "If Your Majesty will honor our late lord's service and avenge his death, I do not ask for a great host—only let my own Zhao troops strike down the traitor."
莊宗即令閻寶、史建瑭助習討文禮，乃以習為成德軍兵馬留後。
Zhuangzong at once ordered Yan Bao and Shi Jiantang to aid Fu Xi against Wenli and made Xi acting military governor of the Chengde army.
及文禮誅，將正授節鉞，習不敢當其任，辭曰：「臣緣故使未葬，又無嗣息，臣合服斬縗，候臣禮制畢聽命。」
After Wenli was killed, Zhuangzong was ready to grant Fu Xi the full commission, but Xi declined. "My late lord is still unburied and left no heir," he said. "I ought to wear the deepest mourning. When those rites are finished I will await your command."
及莊宗兼領鎮州，乃割相、衛二州置義寧軍，以習為節度使。
When Zhuangzong also took charge of Zhenzhou, he carved out Xiang and Wei to form the Yining command and made Fu Xi its military commissioner.
習有器度，性忠壯，自莊宗十年沿河戰守，習常以本軍從，心無顧望，諸將服其為人。
Fu Xi was broad-minded and steadfast. For ten years along the Yellow River he marched with Zhuangzong at the head of his Zhao troops, never wavering, and the other commanders respected him for it.
