劉方，京兆長安人也．性剛決，有膽氣．仕周承御上士，尋以戰功，拜上儀同．高祖為丞相，方從韋孝寬破尉迥於相州，以功加開府，賜爵河陰縣侯，邑八百戶．高祖受禪，進爵為公．開皇三年，從衛王爽破突厥於白道，進位大將軍．其後歷甘、瓜二州刺史，尚未知名． Liu Fang came from Chang’an in Jingzhao. Firm and resolute by nature, he had real courage. Under Zhou he was senior attendant of the imperial carriage and soon, for battle merit, director with equal standing of the first rank. When Gaozu was chancellor, Fang followed Wei Xiaokuan in defeating Yuchi Jiong at Xiangzhou, was given the rank of director of the bureau, and enfeoffed as marquis of Heyin with eight hundred households. When Gaozu took the throne he was advanced to duke. In the third year of Kaihuang he followed Prince Shuang of Wei in defeating the Turks at Baidao and was promoted to grand general. He later served as governor of Gan and Gua but was not yet widely known.
