From a criminal in white to a founding father of the country, Liu Rengui engraved the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with his whole life. He cultivated his character in a humble life, and even after being demoted, he still cherished the ambition to serve the country. When he was in danger, he was ordered to guard Baekje. His words "Heaven will make this man rich and noble" showed his heroic spirit.
In the third year of Longshuo, the Battle of Baijiangkou shocked the world. Faced with a Japanese-Japanese coalition force that was four times his own, with thousands of enemy ships pressing down on the enemy, Liu Rengui calmly deployed his formation and faced it with a hundred and seventy Tang ships. After four battles and four victories, 400 enemy ships were burned, and the smoke and flames dyed the sea red. The Japanese army was defeated and they did not dare to look westward at China for thousands of years.
He was both civil and military, governed Baiji to appease the people, guarded Chang'an and Anjingji, and remained loyal through three dynasties. In his later years, he used his old age to satirize and admonish the empress Wu and strive to protect the foundation of the country. In his eighty-four years of life, from a warrior on the battlefield to an auxiliary prime minister, he protected the sea with iron and blood, and stabilized the country with sincerity. He used his life to interpret the iron-blooded responsibility of the soldiers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and became an immortal legend that will last forever in history.
