太祖平荆州，以芝爲菅長。時天下草创，多不奉法。郡主簿劉節，舊族豪侠，賓客千餘家，出爲盗賊，入亂吏治。顷之，芝差節客王同等爲兵，掾史据白：『節家前后未嘗给繇，若至時藏匿，必爲留负。』芝不聽，與節書曰：『君爲大宗，加股肱郡，而賓客每不與役，既眾庶怨望，或流聲上聞。今（条）同等爲兵，幸時发遣。』兵已集郡，而節藏同等，因令督郵以軍兴诡责縣，縣掾史穷困，乞代同行。芝乃馳檄濟南，具陳節罪。太守郝光素敬信芝，即以節代同行，青州號芝『以郡主簿爲兵』。遷广平令。征虏將軍劉勛，貴寵骄豪，又芝故郡將，賓客子弟在界數犯法。勛與芝書，不著姓名，而多所属讬，芝不報其書，一皆如法。后勛以不轨誅，交关者皆獲罪，而芝以見稱。〈《魏略》曰：勛字子臺，琅邪人。中平末，爲沛國建平長，與太祖有舊。后爲庐江太守，爲孫策所破，自歸太祖，封列侯，遂從在散伍議中。勛兄爲豫州刺史，病亡。兄子威，又代從政。勛自恃與太祖有宿，日骄慢，數犯法，又誹謗。爲李申成所白，收治，並免威官。〉

Liu Jie was a commandery clerk in Jing Province during the Cao Wei period and belonged to a prominent local clan known for its chivalrous retainers. He does not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Deeds
Liu Jie had more than a thousand retainers. When they went out, they turned to banditry; when they returned, they disrupted the administration. Sima Zhi requisitioned Liu Jie’s retainers, including Wang Tong, for military service. Liu Jie hid Wang Tong and the others. Later, after Sima Zhi sent out an urgent proclamation detailing the charges, the commandery governor Hao Guang ordered Liu Jie to serve in Wang Tong and the others’ place. This led people in Qing Province to say that Sima Zhi “used a commandery clerk as a soldier” (as recorded in the histories).
