Liú Qí 劉錡 (1098–1162), zì Xìnshū 信叔. Native of Déshùn 德順 commandery (mod. Gānsù, Jìngníng). Son of the Northern-Sòng general Liú Zhòngwǔ 劉仲武. One of the four great Southern-Sòng recovery-era generals, alongside 岳飛 Yuè Fēi, 韓世忠 Hán Shìzhōng, and 張俊 Zhāng Jùn. Famous above all for the victory at Shùnchāng 順昌 in 1140, where his army of fewer than twenty thousand “Eight-Word” troops (bāzì jūn 八字軍) decisively defeated the Jīn heavy cavalry of Wūzhū 兀朮 (Wányán Zōngbì), one of the most celebrated military feats in Sòng history. Held high commands during the Shàoxīng recovery campaigns; was distrusted and partially marginalized by 秦檜 Qín Huì in the post-peace settlement. Rehabilitated in his last years and given posthumous title Wǔmù 武穆 (the same title later given to Yuè Fēi). His campaigns are recorded in KR3l0048 Sānzhāo běiméng huìbiān and discussed warmly in KR3l0073 Dúxǐng zázhì and other recovery-faction bǐjì.
