The Later Liang Dynasty controls most of northern China, though much of Shaanxi (controlled by the Qi) as well as Hebei (controlled by the Yan state) and Shanxi (controlled by Shatuo Turks) remains largely outside Later Liang control.

The Later Liang maintains a tense relationship with the Shatuo Turks, due to the rivalry between Zhu Quanzong and Li Keyong, a relationship that had begun back in the time of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Keyong’s death, his son, Li Cunxu, has continued to expand his State of Jin.

Li is able to destroy the Later Liang in 923 and found the Later Tang Dynasty, which he refers to as the “Restored Tang”.
