How did Liu Heita, the leader of the rebel army, die at the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty?

Liu Heita is a very interesting person. In the early stage of the melee at the end of Sui Dynasty, his appearance was not amazing. He followed Hao Xiaode, Shi Biao, Wang and Dou Jiande. These lean men were cleared up by Tang gaozu, and Liu Heita came out scampering. This jump is still strong. After several generals in the Tang Dynasty were defeated, Luo Shixin died at the hands of Liu Heita. Tang gaozu sent Li Shimin to clean up Liu Heita, and Liu Heita was finished.

When Liu Heita was young, he was a local ruffian and lazy. From time to time, I get financial support from Dou Jiande. Such people have no way out in times of peace and prosperity, but they are different in troubled times. Liu Heita happens to be in troubled times, and peasant uprisings are constantly going on everywhere. Liu Heita voted for Hao Xiaode. At that time, Hao Xiaode gathered about 100,000 people and was also a big rebel. Only when attacking Zhangqiu was defeated by Sui and Zhang Xutuo, the strength was greatly reduced. Then Liu Heita followed Hao Xiaode. In the Battle of Mangshan, Shi Mi was defeated by Wang and defected. Liu Heita was captured by the king and became his subordinate with a group of Waqiu. Liu Heita became a rider.

However, Wang is not a wise master. He can't win the hearts of these brave soldiers. Soon, most Shandong heroes defected to Li Yuan, while Liu Heita defected to Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande can be said to be a noble person in Liu Heita, and Liu Heita finally had a stage to display his talents, became a brave general, and was named Duke of Han Dong County. However, this has reached the late stage of the independent regime. Soon, Dou Jiande was defeated by Li Tang, and Liu Heita returned to his hometown and began to live in seclusion.

However, before long, Dou Jiande was killed, and his old staff was afraid of Tang Yuan's death. Fan Yuan, Gao Yaxian and others decided to call Kibaki to revolt, but no one wanted to be a leader, so everyone came to divination and found that Liu was the most suitable, so everyone found it, but they didn't want to. Everyone killed Keyra Liu and went to Liu Heita. Liu Heita is very happy and happy.

An uprising in Liu Heita brought a chain reaction. Dou Jiande Kibaki killed Tang officials in response to the uprising. Two months later, they defeated the allied forces of Li Shentong and Luo Yi, continued to attack the city, defeated and captured Xue's brother alive. However, half a year later, all the territory of Dou Jiande was recovered, which was unexpected when Tang Gaozu killed Dou Jiande. Tang Jun resisted several times, so Tang Gaozu had to send Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.

So the battle of Mianshui broke out. At the beginning of Mianshuicheng's defense, Li Shimin sent 200 soldiers from Luo Yiling to hold on, but the result was breached by Liu Heita. At this time of heavy snow, Li Shimin reinforcements failed to catch up, and Se was killed.

After the confrontation, Li Shimin tried to bring down Liu Heita, and Li Shimin sent someone to cut off the route for providing foodstuff in Liu Heita and block the rear roads. Two months later, Li Shimin guessed that Liu Heita's army was seriously short of food. Knowing that the war was just around the corner, he ordered people to build a dam and cut off water in the upper reaches of Mingshui. Liu Heita was defeated and ready to cross the river. Li Shimin ordered the soldiers to release water. Thousands of Liu Heita troops were drowned, and then more than 10,000 people died in the confrontation. Liu Heita only managed to escape to Turkey with thousands of people.

Liu Heita successfully persuaded the Turks to send troops to help them fight against the Tang Dynasty. Three months later, Liu Heita made a strong comeback and returned to Shandong with tens of thousands of Turkish troops. With the support of the Turkish army, Liu Heita recovered its lost territory at a faster speed, and Tang Gaozu sent Li Yuanji to send troops to suppress it. As a result, Li Yuanji got scared and sent Prince Li. At this time, the Turkish army has returned, Liu Heita's real power has not been restored, military discipline is lax, and there is not much fighting capacity. Under the command of Li, Liu Heita lost ground, was chased, fled around with hundreds of cavalry, and was soon sent to Li, where he was beheaded.

The rebel army disintegrated in less than two years. Although Liu Heita followed several people in troubled times, he didn't learn their strengths. Although it brought a lot of troubles to the Li Tang regime, it really didn't last long. Besides, at that time, the tide was gone, and a valiant soldier like Liu Heita (just a valiant soldier, really can't be called a rebel leader) could turn the situation around.
