從史少好騎射，遊澤、潞間，節度使李長榮署為督將。 Congshi in his youth loved riding and archery, wandered between Ze and Lu, and military governor Li Changrong appointed him supervising general.

從史在潞，奸獪得士心，又善附迎中人，會長榮卒，即擢拜昭義節度副大使。 Congshi was at Lu, crafty and cunning in winning the soldiers' hearts and skilled at attaching himself to eunuchs; when Changrong died, he was at once promoted to Zhaoyi deputy military commissioner.
