Liu Tang has been practicing martial arts since childhood, drinking good wine and meat, and he is very brave. In the Water Margin, Liu Tang said: Take a break for three or five people, even if there are thousands of troops, they are not afraid of him holding a gun. In the Water Margin, Liu and Lei Heng fought 50 rounds, showing his extraordinary force.
Because of my father-in-law Cai Jing's birthday, Liang Zhongshu wants to send a birthday program worth100000 yuan to Tokyo. When Liu Tang learned the news, he let heroes and classical businessmen steal his birthday program. As a result, Lei Heng, the head catcher, was arrested as a thief on his way to Lingguan Hall because he was drunk. When passing by the Classical Manor, Classical heard that he had come to defect to himself and told him his wealth, so he asked Liu Tang to pretend that he was his uncle, and Lei Heng let him go. Then Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng also came to the classical village. Under Wu Yong's persuasion, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi also promised to grab the birthday outline together. Together, they finally made an earth-shattering accident. Bai Sheng was arrested and gave up Classical and others. Song Jiang leaked the news to Classical, and Classical, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and Ruan Jinyong defeated the pursuers and went to Liangshan. When Fang La surrendered, Liu Tang was killed by a sluice in the Battle of Hangzhou, and Sung River was very sad. It can be said that it was the appearance of Liu Tang that triggered the great gathering of heroes in Water Margin 108.
Jin Shengtan rated Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Yan Qing, Xu Ning and Dong Ping as upper-middle class figures.
