Zhou Wang The second year after he ascended the throne, he showed his muscles to the Shang Dynasty King Zhou , which ruled by King Zhou , but the princes who should come did not arrive. Instead, many little kings came, but did not play a role in responding to the whole world. This matter was left unresolved.
Zhou was originally a small country located in the border during the Shang Dynasty, but during the reign of Zhou Wenwang, he had good governance. During his reign for more than 50 years, he implemented many new policies and his national strength gradually became stronger. When King Wen of Zhou passed away, Zhou's territory had already accounted for two-thirds of the Shang Dynasty, laying a solid foundation for the future Wuwang defeat of Zhou .
Wu Wang succeeded to the throne and invited famous officials all over the world. Later, I found Taigong Wang, that is, Jiang Ziya . When King Wu was actively planning the plan to destroy Shang, King Zhou suddenly used troops to the south. Although the Shang Dynasty was already very corrupt at that time, the military strength should not be underestimated.
Because of this, King Wu decided to test the ideas of the princes and kings, whether they would defeat Zhou with him. So a military parade was held in Mengjin, and nearly 800 princes came. Unfortunately, several relatively powerful princes did not arrive. King Wu was worried, so he retreated his troops to Zhou and sent troops to fight when the time was right.
The following year, King Zhou became even more foolish and killed the good ministers Bigan and Jizi (two of the three heroes of the Yin Dynasty). King Wu and Taigong believed that the time was ripe for destroying Shang, so they launched a large number of troops.
