Liu Heita
Liu Heita (died 623) was a general of the rebel leader Dou Jiande in the wars after the fall of the Sui dynasty. After the Tang captured and executed Dou in 621, his former officers rose under Liu Heita, who quickly recovered Dou's lands in Hebei and proclaimed himself Prince of Handong. Tang armies under Li Shimin and then Li Jiancheng defeated him, and he was betrayed and executed early in 623.
