The Jin–Later Liang War, or simply the Jin–Liang War (晉梁爭霸), was a prolonged war fought in North and Central China between 884 and 923 during the late Tang dynasty and early Five Dynasties period. The initial belligerents were the warlords Li Keyong and Zhu Wen (then known as Zhu Quanzhong), whose territories were respectively called Jin and Later Liang (then known as Liang) after Zhu Wen overthrew the Tang dynasty in 907. After their deaths, their sons Li Cunxu and Zhu Youzhen continued the hostility, which also involved other quick-to-change-allegiance warlords mainly in modern Hebei. The war ended with the demolition of Zhu Youzhen's Later Liang by Li Cunxu's Later Tang in 923, after four decades of bloodshed that left much of the fertile Zhongyuan region destitute.
