Biography[]

Liu He served as a minor official under his father, Liu Yu. When Gongsun Zan defeated Liu Yu, Liu He fled south. He spent some time roaming across China with a small retinue until being abducted by Yuan Shu, who put him up for ransom. The problem was that with Liu Yu dead, nobody cared about actually paying this ransom.

Facing execution, Liu He managed to escape, joining the court of Yuan Shao alongside many of his father's former officials, such as Xianyu Yin and Wei You. Here he became little more than a puppet under Shao, who later defeated Gongsun Zan with the aid of Liu He's subordinates, the most important of which was Xianyu Fu.

However, Liu He wasn't restored to power as Shao took the territory of both Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan for himself. At this point, he just disappears from history, as he becomes more or less irrelevant to Chinese politics at the time.
