Afterwards, Xiong Qu led his troops along the Han River to drive him southward to drive him into the Jianghan Plain and pursued him eastward, occupying the entire Jianghan Plain. Later, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Zhou emperor to conquer the E Kingdom and marched to Hubei, and included the Jiangnan area of ​​Wuhan into the territory of Chu. The ambitious Xiong Qu was unscrupulous and directly imitated the Zhou emperor to be crowned with his three sons, the eldest son Xiong Kang as King Jutan, the second son Xiong Hong as King E, and the youngest son Xiong as King Yuezhang, becoming the first to usurp the king of the Zhou vassal states.

However, after Zhou Wang Li ascended the throne, Xiong Qu was worried that he would be attacked by the Zhou Dynasty and canceled their king's name

Li Wang succeeded to the throne

King Li of Zhou was very happy to see this, and took pride in telling Duke Zhao Mu to show off to the people of Zhao Mu's rebellion. But King Li's tyranny eventually brought disaster to him. In the first year of the Republic (841 BC), the people rose up to rebel and attacked King Li of Zhou, and King Li of Zhou had to flee to the land.

At that time, the prince of King Li of Zhou Ji Jing was hiding in the house of Zhao Gong. After the people knew about it, they surrounded Zhao Gong's family. In order to protect the prince Ji Jing, Zhao Gong used his son to replace Ji Jing, and was rescued.
