Having eastern [[Shandong]] as his defense area, he became known as the "King of Shandong East" and was unpopular for levying heavy taxes. In autumn 1932, he was attacked and evicted from Shandong by its governor [[Han Fuju]] because Liu had refused to obey his orders. After his defeat, [[Nanjing]] transferred him and his 21st Division south to [[Wenzhou]], [[Zhejiang|Zhejiang Province]] at the end of 1932. There his troops, removed from their familiar surroundings, suffered from sickness and became mutinous. Despite his appeal to [[Chiang Kaishek]] in January 1933, his Division was sent to participate in the [[Fourth Encirclement Campaign against Jiangxi Soviet]] in [[Jiangxi|Jiangxi Province]]. He soon resigned from the army, but was arrested in May by [[Li Duping]] for disobeying Chiang's order to attack the [[People's Liberation Army|Chinese Red Army]] and was executed as a consequence in 1935.
