How to Beat Ming General Liu Cheng'en
Stack Frostbite Resistance
Almost all of Liu Cheng'en's attacks cause strong Frostbite buildup. Equipping armor with high Frostbite resistance, along with using consumables to alleviate the status buildup will help significantly.
Wear Armor that Mitigates Stabs and Slashes
Liu Cheng'en wields a polearm for stab attacks, then switches to a sword for slashes when his health drops to around 50%. Equipping armor with high mitigation against these damage types will help you survive longer.

He seems to be vulnerable to longsword charged heavy attack (not sure of other weapons). I was able to quickly beat him once I realized I could do a charge heavy after his attacke sequence which would stagger him almost everytime.
