said last time, Liu Qia (later renamed Liu Xuanzuo) was born without any background, he was dignified when he was young, and he lived out of the bad boy in reality, he had no background and no hard work, and it seemed that he would not have any great prospects in the future. Later, because he was framed for the crime, he was punished by the county order, and almost died, and the "Old Tang Book" recorded "only death"...

Liu Qia fled from his hometown by this change, and since then he has been living in the world, he doesn't know where to go, so he has to wander and beg along the way, this coincides with the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the world begins to be unstable, the crisis is everywhere, and it coincides with the great drought and the people's livelihood is difficult, the people themselves can't eat, where is there extra food for him, Liu Qia had to be hungry for a full meal, all the way to prepare for hardships, in order to be able to eat a full meal no longer hungry, Liu Qia gritted his teeth, decided to risk death to join the army.

Fortunately, Liu Qia was born in a poor family, coupled with his previous wandering experience, so he was particularly able to endure hardships, and his personality was bold and free, light on wealth and righteousness, and he was very comfortable in the army, and soon he was appreciated by his superiors and began to be gradually promoted. In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty (770), Liu Qia was appointed as the general of the Yongping Army (also known as the general) because of his merits, and because he felt that Liu Qia's name was not loud enough, he changed his name to Liu Xuanzuo.

Liu Xuanzuo led by example, sympathetic to the soldiers, he charged forward when fighting, but never kept the military salary, and gave all the money to the soldiers, so he won the hearts of the people. His soldiers fought valiantly and remained loyal to him. At this time, Liu Xuanzuo was already a general and was no longer a fugitive, so he took his mother to his side to fulfill his filial piety. Liu Xuanzuo's mother was very virtuous and often taught Xuanzuo: "You are humble and weak, and the Son of Heaven is rich and noble, and you should repay him with death." Liu Xuanzuo later held a high position and can be called a nobleman. His mother still knits a coarse silk horse every month to show that she has not forgotten the hard life she had lived in the past. Every time Liu's mother saw Liu Xuanzuo handling government affairs in the office, the officials of those counties and counties stood quietly at the bottom of the stairs and did not dare to speak out at all. When he returned, he would advise his son: "When I saw the humility and deference of my subordinates when they presented their official duties to their superiors, I could not help but feel panicked. I think of your father, when he was a minor official in this county, he often broke out in a cold sweat with fear of his superiors. Now, you sit high behind the bookcase in the hall, and treat your subordinates like your father's superiors back then, how can you be at ease?" Therefore, Liu Xuanzuo vowed to live up to the court's favor and entrusted responsibility, devote all his body and mind to government affairs, always be courteous and virtuous, treat people sincerely, and not disgrace the courtier's temperament. Of course, this is a later story, Liu Xuanzuo can become a famous general who saves Datang in the future when life and death are in danger, and the reason is probably this.

It is said that at this time, Liu Xuanzuo was only a tooth general in the Yongping army, and under his diligent management, his troops were disciplined and able to fight well. As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, in order to seize the opportunity that belongs to him, Liu Xuanzuo is ready, he will jump onto a bigger stage, a few years later, the opportunity that Liu Xuanzuo has been waiting for for a long time has finally come...

In the eleventh year of the Great Calendar (776), Li Lingyao, the capital of the Biansong Dynasty, occupied Bianzhou (now Kaifeng, Henan) to rebel, and Liu Xuanzuo was ordered by Li Mian, the superior of the Yongping Army, to lead his troops to quell the rebellion. In the Tang Dynasty, the power of the envoy was very large, and Li Mian was not only the highest local administrator, but also had a heavy army, and the Yongping Army was under his command, and this time Li Lingyao, who was sitting in Bianzhou, rebelled, and Li Mian's first thought was to send his most powerful general Liu Xuanzuo to quell the rebellion.

A big war is about to start, Liu Xuanzuo will fully demonstrate his military talent, and Li Lingyao is destined to become another stepping stone on the road to Liu Xuanzuo's famous general.
