Story:
During the Five Dynasties period, Liu Zhiyuan, having lost both parents, drifted to Peixian County in Xuzhou. He married the third daughter of Squire Li. Due to his poverty, he was often bullied by his brother-in-law, Li Hong.
The matchmaker, Uncle Li San, informed Liu Zhiyuan that Governor Yue of Taiyuan Bingzhou was actively recruiting soldiers and acquiring horses, suggesting he could enlist to secure a future for himself.
Liu Zhiyuan went to join the army and steadily rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the Pacification Commissioner of Jiuzhou.
