Li Ting
In 829, when Shi Xiancheng the military governor of Weibo, who had governed his circuit in "de facto" independence from the imperial government, offered to surrender control of Weibo, the imperial government commissioned Li Ting () as the new military governor of Weibo. However, Shi's soldiers opposed, and they mutinied, killing Shi. When Li Ting subsequently arrived, the Weibo soldiers, under the leadership of He Jintao, launched a surprise attack on him, inflicting much casualties and forcing him to flee. Liu Congjian launched an army and saved Li Ting. For this achievement, Liu was created the Duke of Pei.
