The "Song Book" records that Emperor Wu of Song from the Southern Dynasty, Liu Yu, had two very impressive achievements in his life.
First, he was one of the few military strategists in the entire ancient history of Dongxia who successfully led Northern Expeditions from the south to the north, fighting with fierce intensity.
This excludes the special case of Zhu Yuanzhang, who transformed from a beggar to an emperor.
Like his ancestor Liu Bang, who evolved from a street thug into an emperor, Liu's class leap in his lifetime was so significant that, if not in the top three in history, it was likely still in the top ten. The words in Xin Qiji's poetry "Common streets, people say Jinu once lived here" refer to this figure.
Secondly, Liu not only had talents in warfare, but also remarkable skills in fathering daughters.
His daughters were all extremely beautiful and alluring.
