Story:

Towards the end of Wang Mang's reign, Nanyang was in a state of unrest. Li Tong discussed with his cousin, Li Yi, that their best prospect was to pledge allegiance to Liu Xiu.

Thus, they went to visit Liu Xiu. Li Tong spoke eloquently and demonstrated exceptional strategic wisdom. Liu Xiu, possessing foresight and a keen eye for talent, felt an instant rapport with Li Tong, regretting they hadn't met sooner. They parted ways cheerfully, shaking hands.

Several years later, Li Tong and Liu Xiu reunited in Jiyang County and together successfully defeated the Nanyang commandery.
