Shang Tang told the princes about this, and the leaders of Jiuyi also saw that the Xuqi would not last long, so they did not listen to the dispatch and rebelled one after another, greatly weakening the power of the Xuqi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Shang Tang decided to take advantage of this favorable opportunity to send troops to Kunwu. The Kunwu people, the hardcore supporters of the Shang and the princes' alliance to conquer Xia, made Lu Gui see that the form was not good, and sent the main force to join forces with the Kunwu people.

In 1678, before the Xia Dynasty army supported the alliance of Shang and the princes, they attacked Kunwu, destroyed Kunwu, killed Xia Bo, the lord of Kunwu, and entered the land and people of Kunwu.

By the end of the summer, there were originally five kingdoms of the descendants of the Kunwu clan, including Wen (hn Jiaozuo W County Kunwu (hn Xuchang), Gu Guo (hn Puyang F County Wei Guo (hn Puyang) and Yousu State (Hblz County After the battle of Tang Zhengxia, only two countries remained: Wei Guo and Yousu State.

Subsequently, Shang Tang swore an oath in Bo (hn Shangqiu) and declared the crime of performing the crime. Shang Tang officially launched an army to fight Xia. Tang Hezhongyu and Yi Yin led an army of seventy chariots and 5,000 foot soldiers to the west. The two armies of Luoyang ZS City **** met in the field of Narujo (hn Xinxiang FQ County) and launched a general battle.

Before the battle began, in order to boost morale, Tang summoned the Shang army who participated in the battle and the princes and the troops of the Fang State who came to help Shang and Xia, and read an oath of the war, that is, the "Tang Oath". After the mobilization of the Shang army, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all expressed their willingness to fight to the death with the Xia army. The morale of the Xia army was low and people were resentful. On the day when the two armies fought, it was just in time for the weather of heavy thunderstorms, and the Shang army did not avoid the thunderstorms and fought bravely, and the Xia army was defeated and retreated.

Seeing that the defeat was out of control, Xia Yi did not even dare to return to the capital, so he led 500 remnants of the army to flee east to Sanshu (SD Dingtao), and Xiayi was captured by the coalition army. Seeing that Xia Ji's troops were defeated and fled, Sanshu Bo immediately deployed troops to protect Xia Wei, and threatened to fight to the death with Tang. Tang and Yi Yin saw Xia Wei defecting to Sanyu, that is, they waved their troops eastward. The Shang army and the Sanshu army fought at Yu (left to right) (now Shangbei of Wen, SD), and as a result, the Shang army defeated the Sanshu army, killed Sanshubo, and seized Sanshubo's treasure and property.

Xia Wei saw that Sanyu was destroyed by Tang again, so he still fled south with the five hundred remnants. Tang and Yi Yin led the army urgently, and Xia Wei fled to Nanchao (AHS County defected to the Nanchao clan, which is an ally tribe of Xia and a descendant of the ancient Youchao clan. Later, Nanchao gradually became the common name of the nest-dwelling people in the land of Jingchu.

The merchant army chased to Nanchao, and Xia Wei wanted to escape from Nanchao again, but he was caught by the merchant army as soon as he walked to the city gate. The soup placed Xia Jiliu in the Pavilion Mountain of the South Nest.

In order to completely wipe out the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, Tang and Yi Yin led their armies westward. Because some of the more powerful and loyal Fang states such as Wei, Gu, Wen, Kunwu, and Sanshu were destroyed by Shang Tang, the Shang army did not encounter major resistance on the way west, and soon occupied the capital of the Xia Dynasty. After Tang and Yi Yin pacified the subjects of the Xia Dynasty, they held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Zhuxun, indicating to the subjects of the Xia Dynasty that they were punishing the guilty Ji according to the will of the heavens, and that the "number of successions" of the Xia Hou clan (the number of successive emperors) had come to an end. This officially announced the end of the Xia Dynasty.

From Yu to the seventeenth generation, there are kings and no kings, with the age of 471 years, the beginning of the son, the end of the people. The "Bamboo Book Chronicle" records 471 years, which is wrong, because the difference between the Renzi and Renxu years is 490, not 470, so the actual age should be 491 years. (BC2168-1678)
