What did Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of Hou Liang, do to destroy the Tang Dynasty?

Between the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, there was a troubled time that lasted for half a century, called Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The first dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty was Hou Liang, and the great ancestor of Hou Liang was Zhu Wen.

There are two cancers that destroyed the Tang Dynasty, one is the eunuch dictatorship, and the other is the separatist regime of the buffer region. Later, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were all established by the leaders of the original buffer regions, large and small. Who killed the eunuch? It was this Zhu Wen who destroyed it.

In the last few years of the ninth century, Zhu Quanzhong (Tang Xizong's name, with wonderful irony) and Zhu Quanzhong in the Central Plains were Zhu Wen, which have replaced Li Keyong in the east of the river and become the most powerful warlords in the world.

His ambition is also expanding. After the first year of Wende (AD 888), Zhu Quanzhong launched a large-scale expansion.

First, he led his troops to the east. First, in the second year of Jingfu (AD 893), Shipu was destroyed and Xuzhou was occupied, and then in the fourth year of Ganning (AD 897), Yunzhou and Yanzhou were annexed.

Subsequently, Zhu Quanzhong turned his attention to the three towns of Heshuo in the north. Began the battle with Li Keyong.

For example, in October of the third year of Guanghua (AD 900), Zhu Quanzhong attacked Dingzhou and forced King Yiwu to stand on his own feet. Liu Rengong sent troops to save him, but Zhu Quanzhong defeated him. More than sixty thousand people were killed, and Liu Rengong was defeated, so he had to surrender to Zhu Quanzhong.

In the first month of the Day Recovery Year (90 1 year), Zhu Quanzhong suddenly attacked Jiangzhou and Jinzhou in the east of the river. In February, Kelly had to surrender to Zhu Quanzhong because he was beaten unsuspecting in the river. Zhu Quanzhong immediately moved Kelly's family to Daliang and killed them soon.

In March, the general's uncle Cong was sent to lead the troops of 50,000, and the soldiers pointed to Li Keyong's lair, Taiyuan.

After that, Li Keyong was seriously injured. In the next few years, he can only shrink the front, rest, and then dare not directly confront Zhu Quanzhong easily, let alone have the ability to compete with it.

According to the report, after the existence of the river, Zhu Quanzhong contained Hedong in the north and threatened Guanzhong in the south, and its power grew unprecedentedly, which was unparalleled in the world.
