The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is another period of turmoil and strife after the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the Three Kingdoms, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the historical events of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, "the destruction of liang in the Later Tang Dynasty" can be described as the most important.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the towns of various clans used the name of resisting the Huangchao peasant rebels to support the division of the army. Zhu Quanzhong eliminated many drama cutters and initially unified the Yellow River Valley, Zhu Quanzhong originally participated in the Huangchao Uprising, but was later sentenced to surrender to Tang and was given the title of King of Liang. He forced Emperor Ai of Tang to pass the throne to himself in the form of Zen concessions, and the national name was Liang, who was the Liang Taizu of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Zhu Quanzhong usurped the Tang dynasty as empress, and the greatest threat to him was the separatist forces used by Li Keyong in Hedong. Li Ke used the original Tang Dynasty's Hedong Jiedushi envoy, with a strong cavalry force, and was crowned king of Jin by the Tang Dynasty for his merits in suppressing the Huangchao Rebellion. Li Ke used father and son to spend six years to launch a deadly battle with Liang, in which it was repeated, and some won and some lost. During this period, the battles between Baixiang (southwest of Hezhaobai Township) and Weizhou were two large-scale battles, which played a more important role in the final victory or defeat of Hebei and even Jin and Liang. In 908, the year after Zhu Quanzhong became emperor, Li Keyong died of illness, and his son Li Cunxun succeeded to the throne, holding Taiyuan and fighting with Houliang for many years. Li Cunxun straightened out military discipline, trained soldiers, and personally charged into battle during combat. Soon, Li Cunxun and Houliang won the battle of Luzhou, stabilizing Jin's ruling position, and then taking some political and military improvement measures to create conditions for competing with Houliang for the right to rule the north.
When Li Cunxun's father Li Keyong was alive, he was very worried about Liang's threat, and when the King of Jin was comforted and treated with dignity, he should not be slightly depressed. He said that the husband is the one who is the world, and he does not care about small grievances. As soon as Li Cunxun took the throne, he immediately went straight to Daliang, the army was defeated and the victory was restored, the division was out of his way, consulted the good generals, decided to make up his mind, and carried out the danger, and the front was used. In his early years, he remembered his father's resentment, tasted his courage, and fought with Zhu Quanzhong for twenty years, and finally defeated the Liang zhu army in Shangdang in 923 AD, and was able to avenge the hatred. After the suicide of Emperor Liang, Li Cunxun established himself as emperor, for Emperor Zhuangzong, the state name Of Tang, known to historians as Hou Tang.
