Liu Guangshi

Liu Guangshi commanded Song forces that defeated a Jin army at Yancheng, using combined infantry and cavalry tactics. The victory boosted Song morale but was not followed up due to peace negotiations.

Liu Guangshi was a key negotiator in the Shaoxing Treaty between the Southern Song and Jin dynasties. The treaty established the Huai River as the border and required Song to pay annual tribute, ending active warfare.

After the Shaoxing Treaty was ratified, Liu Guangshi retired from military service, possibly due to court politics. His retirement marked the end of active Song resistance against the Jin for decades.
