The people rushed to watch, but Huaizhen ignored him. Fengbo was very different. He said to his family: "My family will be prosperous from now on." When he grew up, the governor of this state was appointed as the chief official.
In the twenty-eighth year of Yuanjia in the Liu Song Dynasty (451), Sima Shun of the Jin clan gathered a crowd to rebel in Dongyangzhou. Emperor Wen Liu Yilong sent Huaizhen to lead his troops to attack him. The bandits were wiped out and returned in triumph. Emperor Wen summoned him to ask about breaking the thief, but Huaizhen refused to take credit. Relatives asked about it strangely, and Huaizhen said: "In the past, Guo Zini (Guo Zini: named Yuan, was from Le'an during the Three Kingdoms period). He once escaped from the chaos in Liaodong with Guan Ning and others, and later served as Cao Cao's Sikong Tu. He was upright. Tian Yin, When Su Bo rebelled in Hejian, he was defeated. Zini asked Cao to pardon his followers, and more than a thousand people survived. The document used to count one as ten, but Zini reported the truth truthfully. Cao asked, Zini said: "I captured it with a cut." For his great martial arts, Yuan Pi was ashamed of him. "Cao Da Yue, the post-official Taipu) shamed the leader of Chen Hejian. How can I talk about the success of the country?" For this reason, everyone at that time praised him as a virtuous person.
Once, Liu Yigong, the king of Jiangxia, was ordered to guard Xuyi. He met Huaizhen on the way and valued his talents. He was appointed as the chief escort officer, Mo Caoxing, general Zhenwu, and prefect of Changguang. At the beginning of Xiaojian's reign (454), he was promoted to Grand Sima of Yigong and joined the army, General of Zhige, and Dazai to join the army.
In the second year of the Ming Dynasty (458), Emperor Xiaowu, soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded Qingkou (Qingkou: the mouth where the ancient Wenshui River entered Jiji, southeast of Liangshan Mountain in present-day Shandong). Yan Shibo, the governor of Qingji and Hebei Provinces, was captured. In an emergency situation, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun sent Liu Huaizhen to lead thousands of infantry and cavalry reinforcements.

A wealthy man in this county, Wang Bi, came to Huaizhen's house and persuaded him to join Liu Dan's rebellion. Huaizhen was furious and said: "I am an official who is loyal to the court and cares for the people. How can I associate with the rebels?" He then beheaded Wang Bi and sent his head to the court. Emperor Xiaowu commended him for his loyalty and awarded him the title of King of Yuzhang, Liu Zishang, who joined the army as a chariot and cavalry officer, and was promoted to General Longxiang.
At the end of the Liu Song Dynasty, the deposed emperor Liu Ziye was rebellious and cruel, killing innocent people indiscriminately, which led to the decline of the government and the chaos in the country. When Emperor Ming Liu came to the throne, turmoil continued everywhere. In the second year of Taishi (466), Jin'an King Liu Zixun established a separate court in Xunyang to confront the Ming Emperor's court, and many people responded. Emperor Ming was so frightened that he worshiped Huaizhen as General Ningshuo, governor of Dong'an and Dongguan counties, and led troops to conquer. In April of this year, Huaizhen led Longxiang generals Wang Jingze, Jiang Chan and others with five thousand infantry and cavalry to attack Liu Daowei, the main army of Liu Zixun in Shouyang and Lujiang. Liu Daowei built three cities in Jianwu River and stationed five thousand troops to defend the Song army. Huaizhen used a trick to attack his main camp with 300 elite soldiers and killed Liu Daowei. Then Huaizhen led the main force to break through three cities in a row and wipe out the rest. Immediately, he led his troops to Jinyang to annihilate Liu Zixun's Jinyang guard Yan Zhan, and set up an ambush of 3,000 troops at Moye Mountain.

Taking advantage of the victory, he led his army to the north and stationed troops at Changluo Gate in Shouchun (Shouchun: the name of the ancient city, the seat of governance is now Shouxian County, Anhui Province). Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty praised his merits and made Huaizhen the Yulin Supervisor and the Tunqi School Lieutenant General. Huaizhen first defeated the thieves and refused to give in. At this time, King Liu Xiuren of Jian'an had been locked in a stalemate with the rebel general Liu Hu at Nongnong Lake for many days without victory. Emperor Ming ordered Huaizhen to return to the capital, worshiped him as a former general and general of the auxiliary state, and led his army to Qingshan to help Liu Xiuren attack Liu Hu. . When things went smoothly, the imperial court awarded Huaizhen the title of guerrilla general and general of auxiliary to the country. In August, the Song army captured Xunyang and beheaded Liu Zixun. At this point, Liu Zixun's rebellion was basically put down. Only Xue Andu, the governor of Xuzhou, and Shen Wenxiu, the governor of Qingzhou, refused to surrender. Emperor Ming immediately sent champion general Shen Youzhi and general Zhang Yong to attack Xue Andu. He ordered Wen Bing, Shen Wenxiu's younger brother, to recruit Wenxiu to surrender, and ordered Huaizhen to lead three thousand horse steps to accompany Wen Bing. Before they arrived, Shen Youzhi and Zhang Yong were defeated by Xue Andu's troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Ming immediately ordered Huaizhen to lead his troops from Xuyi to Huaiyin to rescue him, but the Song army had been driven away by the Wei soldiers and fled. Huaizhen's lone army was so small that he led the army back, and ordered Quan to suppress Shanyang (the name of the county, where it is now governed). Huaian, Jiangsu).
In the spring of the third year of Taishi (467), the imperial court ordered the governor of Qingzhou, Ming Seng Hao, to conquer Shen Wenxiu in the north, but Wenxiu was defeated soon after. Emperor Ming sent Huaizhen to lead Longxiang general Wang Guangzhi and lead 500 cavalry and 2,000 infantry across the sea to rescue him. When they arrived at the East China Sea, Seng Hao had withdrawn to Donglai, so Huaizhen marched alone to occupy Qucheng (Qucheng: the ancient name of the county).
The administrative seat was located on the side of Jinping Mountain southwest of present-day Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province) and was surrounded by enemies on all sides. He also heard that Wenxiu led Wei soldiers to attack together, and Huaizhen's troops were frightened. The people on the left and right advised Huaizhen to protect Yuzhou (there is a large state in the northeast sea of ??Qucheng, called Yuzhou) and wait for reinforcements. Huaizhen said: "Wenxiu wants to use Qingzhou to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and asks for the help of the Wei people. The people of Qi are willing to do so. Today it is appropriate Raise your troops forward and declare your might, and the cities can fly down, but if you stay here and don't advance, you will be frustrated." Then he led the army to attack Qianzou (the name of the ancient county. Its former location is in today's Jiao County), and attacked the outside world. Threatened that the Song army would arrive. Shen Wenxiu, the governor of Gaomi and Pingchang counties, was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled. Huaizhen led his army to Juyangshui and sent soldiers to send Wen Bing to Qingzhou to persuade Wenxiu to surrender, but Wenxiu refused. On the left and right, Huaizhen said: "Wenxiu has a large number of soldiers and horses, and they are wandering around the territory. We have few soldiers and generals, so we should wait for the opportunity to attack them." Huaizhen said: "We have a small army and a small amount of food. We are hanging the army in depth. It is time to advance quickly with our best troops. Only by concealing his unpreparedness can we win." Then Wang Guangzhi sent hundreds of troops to attack the city (the name of the ancient county, where it was governed in the northwest of today's Laoshan County, Shandong Province). Liu Taogen, the prefect of Wenxiu Changguang, was unable to defend the city. Although he had thousands of soldiers, he was defeated without defense and abandoned the city and fled. Huaizhen also sent General Ningshuo Ming Qingfu and Wang Guangzhi to defeat Ju Yanseng, the prefect of Wenxiu Donglai, and escorted the Korean tribute envoy to the capital. at this time. When Shen Wenxiu heard that all the cities were defeated, he sent envoys to ask for surrender. Huaizhen defeated many with less, subdued Wenxiu, quelled the rebellion, pacified the people, and returned in triumph.
In the first year of the Ming Dynasty (477), Shen Youzhi raised troops in Jingchu, directly targeting the Prime Minister Xiao Daocheng. After Liu Huaizhen heard the news, he immediately sent his envoy Zhicheng Xiao Daocheng to come up with suggestions. He also sent Zi Lingzhe to lead thousands of troops to guard the capital. Shen You sent an envoy to make a close alliance with Huaizhen. Huaizhen angrily beheaded the envoy Xu Tianbao and offered his head to Xiao Daocheng. The imperial court commended him for his loyalty and granted Huaizhen the title of Marquis of Zhongsu County, adding 600 households to the town and giving him the title of General Zuo.
Shen You’s troops surrounded Yingcheng (Yingcheng: the name of an ancient city, the administrative seat is northeast of Jiangling in present-day Hubei Province). Huaizhen sent Zhang Mo, the prefect of Jianning, and Pei Zhongmu, the guerrilla general, to lead ten thousand Han troops out of Xiyang.

At the beginning, when Huaizhen was the Zhige and Xiao Dao was the Sheren, the two of them had a deep affection for each other and a deep friendship. One day, Huaizhen returned to Duchang to visit his family. Daocheng gave Huaizhen a white Congma that bit people and could not be ridden, and Huaizhen reciprocated with a hundred pieces of brocade. Someone asked Huaizhen: "Xiao Gong failed to ride this horse before sending it to you. Isn't it too many if you report a hundred pieces of brocade?" Huaizhen said: "Xiao Jun is so impressive that he would rather be defeated by others. I will give you this brocade." If you want to trust him with your name, you don't care about the money and material." When Daocheng assisted the government, Huaizhen's family assets were not much, so he changed his position to the governor of the capital and led the former general. His fourth son, Xiao Huang, replaced Huaizhen as the governor of Yuzhou. Some people suspected that Huaizhen would not be replaced, so Xiao Daocheng said: "Huaizhen has been a good friend of me since I was a commoner. How would we be different today?" Huaizhen returned to Beijing and was appointed Prime Minister's Right Sima. ”
In 479 AD, Xiao Daocheng established the Qi Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. He became emperor, that is, Qi Gaodi.

After working hard to get a job, Emperor Gao succeeded and was transferred to the official Guanglu. In the winter, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded Qushan. The court appointed General Huaizhen Chijie Anbei to lead the rescue. Before he arrived, things went smoothly and he returned to Jian.
