Li Hao
After Wang Yan's surrender, he and his family, as well as Former Shu officials, were ordered to report from Chengdu to the Later Tang capital Luoyang. However, on the way, with Later Tang's own realm overrun by mutinies, Li Cunxu became concerned about Wang Yan, and had Wang Yan and his family put to death. The procession of Former Shu officials, presumably including Li Hao, eventually reached Luoyang after Li Cunxu himself was killed in a mutiny at Luoyang and succeeded by his adoptive brother Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan allowed the Former Shu officials to either remain at Luoyang or return to the Shu lands, and Li Hao apparently chose to return to the Shu lands, even though he had been given the title of acting "Bingbu Langzhong" (兵部郎中, a supervisory official at the ministry of defense (兵部, "Bingbu")). Li Siyuan ordered Meng Zhixiang the military governor of Xichuan Circuit (西川, headquartered at Chengdu) and the financial surveyor of the region, Zhao Jiliang, to find Li Hao a suitable governmental position in the matter of finances. However, upon his arrival at Chengdu, Li Hao was not initially given any positions. It was not until Li Hao then met Meng and requested to return to Luoyang that Meng made Li Hao a secretary to himself in his role as governor (觀察使, "Guanchashi").
