克融少為幽州軍校，事節度使劉總。 In his youth Kerong served as a military officer in Youzhou under the military governor Liu Zong.

總將歸朝，慮其有變，籍軍中素有異志者，薦之闕下，時克融亦在籍中。 When Liu Zong prepared to return to court, fearing unrest he drew up a list of men in the army who had long harbored rebellious designs and sent them to the capital; Kerong was among them.

前時劉總向化，以土地歸闕，朝廷約用錢八十萬貫，而未嘗得范陽尺布鬥粟上供天府； When Liu Zong submitted and returned his territory, the court agreed to pay eight hundred thousand strings of cash — yet Fanyang never sent so much as a foot of cloth or a peck of grain to the imperial storehouses.
