Subsequently, Liu returned to his stronghold Quan Prefecture (泉州, in modern Quanzhou, Fujian) and forced the Southern Tang forces there to leave—thus, while he remained formally a Southern Tang subject, the modern southern Fujian region, which he controlled, was in effect semi-independent from that point on.
Selanjutnya, Liu kembali ke markasnya di Prefektur Quan (泉州, Quanzhou modern, Fujian) dan memaksa pasukan Tang Selatan di sana untuk pergi—dengan demikian, sementara dia tetap secara resmi menjadi seorang subyek Tang Selatan, wilayah Fujian selatan yang modern, yang dia kendalikan, adalah berlaku semi-independen sejak saat itu.
