Liu Heita, whose date of birth and death is unknown, was cunning and arrogant when he was young, addicted to alcohol and gambling, and did nothing all day long, but Dou Jiande, a fellow countryman, thought Liu Heita was extraordinary and often supported him. Later, when the world was in chaos, Liu Heita unsurprisingly embarked on the road of rebellion and went to Hao Xiaode, Shi Biao and others.
In 6 18, the wagang army was defeated and Liu Heita was captured by the king. Wang thought Liu Heita was brave, and appointed him as a riding general to guard Xinxiang. However, Liu Heita looked down on Wang, and soon led his troops back to Hebei and defected to his friend Dou Jiande. So the road to the rise of Liu Heita officially began.
Under the command of Dou Jiande, Liu Heita was reused and made a duke, while Liu Heita didn't live up to Dou Jiande's trust. The invasion of things made great contributions to the Xia regime. It's a pity that Dou Jiande was defeated and captured in front of Hulao Pass in order to rescue the king, and the Xia regime collapsed, while Liu Heita was unwilling to work for the Tang Dynasty and lived in seclusion in the countryside.
Later, Dou Jiande was executed by the Tang Dynasty, and Hebei was shaken. Ministries loyal to Dou Jiande rose up in succession to avenge their benefactor Dou Jiande. Liu Heita, as the most trusted ministry in Dou Jiande, undoubtedly undertook the important task of anti-Tang leader. The rebels had a smooth journey and recovered their lost land again and again. Later, they defeated Li Shiji, a famous Zuo Wuhou in the Tang Dynasty, in Songzhou, and captured Xue's brother alive. At that time, the troops were strong. The whole country was shocked in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin, the first famous soldier, was immediately sent to Liu Heita.
On the one hand, the insurgents who wanted to avenge Dou Jiande, and on the other hand, Li Shimin, the king of Qin who put down the rebellion, were particularly jealous when their enemies met, and the two armies fought in Mianshui. During this period, Liu Heita not only killed Luo Shixin, a valiant soldier in the Tang Dynasty, but also set up a diversion plan, and almost captured Li Shimin alive. It was only because of Wei Chijingde's desperate struggle that Li Shimin was able to escape. It's just a pity that Liu Heita was ambushed because of poor food and grass and insufficient logistics, which led to his first failure against the Tang Dynasty. Liu Heita and his elite troops fled to Turkey.
In 622 AD, Liu Heita borrowed Turkish troops to fight the Tang Dynasty again. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang County, was appointed as the chief officer of Hebei Road to crusade against Liu Heita with former lord protector Stone. However, Liu Heita Lien Chan won a winning streak and attacked Tang Jun. Within a month, most of the lost land was recovered. Feng Bing only refers to Chang 'an. In the Tang dynasty, the army quickly dispatched, and Sanyi was the commander in chief. In the end, Prince Li led a great army to fight against Liu Heita. In the decisive battle, Li commanded properly, listened to the advice of advisers and others many times, and finally defeated Liu Heita, which completely solved the catastrophe.
And a generation of lean Liu Heita came to the end of his life in Mianzhou at the end of December of Wude five years.
