When Tang learned that Ge Bo had no sacrifice, he sent a messenger to Ge again to ask why he didn't make a sacrifice? Ge Bo said: "We can't grow grain in our fields, and we don't have wine and rice to pay tribute, so of course we can't hold a sacrifice." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tang learned that Ge Bo was a person who did not care about the people's production and only knew pleasure, so he sent people from the district of Bo Di (hn Shangqiu) to Ge Di to help grow crops.

Under the rule of Ge Bo, the faint king, the people of Ge were living in great misery, and they could not be self-sufficient in food and clothing, and of course they could not provide food for the people. The people from the Tang Pai Shang border sent wine and rice to the Gedi to feed the people who helped with farming.

The people who delivered the wine and food were all old and weak and children. Every time Ge Bo sent people to wait for the people who brought the wine and food in Gedi, he snatched the wine and food, and threatened to kill him if he didn't give it. Once, when a child went to deliver food and drink, he was killed by Gerber's men for resisting the robbery.

Tang saw that Ge Bo was desperate and an enemy of Shang, and he could no longer use the method of help to fight for it. So he led his troops to Ge and killed Ge Bo. Because Ge Bo was unkind, the people of Ge had long been resentful, and when they saw that Tang had killed Ge Bo, they expressed their willingness to return to Shang. Tang took possession of all the land, people, and materials of Gedi, and organized the people of Gedi to engage in agriculture and develop production.

Tang exterminated Ge's action, not only did no one oppose it among the princes, but also accused Ge Bo of being unkind, and he was killed at his own expense. Some princes and the people of Fang State resented Xia Wei's tyranny, and also hoped that Shang Tang would go to conquer, and were willing to free themselves from the rule of the Xia Dynasty and return to Shang Tang. There were also some princes and Fang Guo who voluntarily submitted to Tang, and Tang gave the princes and Fang Guo jade strings and jade gui with jade beads as crowns respectively. Apparently in the position of a vassal alliance and exercising the power of the king. In this way, Shang Tang started from the country of Ge and gradually removed Xia's wings and weakened Xia's power, so there is a saying that "nine expeditions and the world is invincible".

In 1692, Yi Yin made a plan to Tang, and he personally went to the Xia royal capital to live for a period of time to observe the situation of the Xia Dynasty. Tang prepared Fangwu (local products) and tribute, and sent Yi Yin as an envoy to pay tribute to the Xia king's capital. Yi Yin came to the Xia royal capital with his entourage, driving a carriage, carrying things, and tribute.

Meixi's has always been resentful of being snubbed, and Yiyin took the opportunity to associate with him and gain Meixi's trust. Yi Yin joins the side of the Meixi clan and guides the Meixi clan to adopt the method of seducing the king and doing what he likes, so that the Meixi clan regains the trust of the Fulfillment. Since then, in order to gain favor, the three princesses have competed with each other to offer the methods of poverty and luxury.

His rule was thus even more precarious.

One day in 1689 BC, Meixi said to Yi Yin that he had a dream in which he dreamed that two days in the sky were rising together, fighting each other, winning one day and not winning the other. Yi Yin thought that the time had come to destroy Xia, so he quickly returned to Shangdu and told Shang Tang. Ancient witchcraft divination and dream revelation are considered major events, "only Rong and ritual", military and sacrifice are the two major events of the country, and the pre-military divination is even more essential. SenseTime stepped up its expansion.

In 1688 BC, Shang Shi conquered Luo's (Luoshui, probably hn Luoyang), and then conquered Jing (HBYD City Jing State surrendered to Shang State.

In 1687, among the princes and Fang States of the Xia Dynasty, although there were many defectors, there were still many who supported the Xia Dynasty, and it was not without those who were loyal to the Xia Dynasty. In the eastern region, there are four subject states that are loyal to Xia Wei: one is Feng Wei (Peng, Wei, Xu, can be), HNH County is Gu (surname, HN Puyang F County, one is Kunwu (surname, HN Xuchang), one is Wen (surname, HN Jiaozuo W County), these four Xia subject states are not small, and the area where they are located is close to Shang. After Tang destroyed Ge, he conquered some princes and Fang countries who did not return to Shang, the so-called "nine conquests and the world is invincible". However, these four Fang states insisted on making Shang their enemies, and they monitored Shang Tong's activities and often reported to them.

Tang and Yi Yin and Zhong Yu are determined to get rid of these four wings. Just when he was preparing to attack Fengwei, he learned that Tang was still continuing to conquer the princes and expand the power of Shang, so he sent envoys to Shang to summon Tang into the court, Tang knew that the strength was not as strong as Xia, so he led his entourage to the capital of Xia without refusing. When Hou Lugui learned that Tang had arrived, he ordered Tang to be imprisoned in Xiatai.

In 1686, when Yi Yin and Zhong Yu learned that Lu Gui had imprisoned Tang, they collected many treasures, toys, and beautiful women to give to Lu Gui, and asked for Tang to be released. He was a money-greedy and womanizer, and he was very happy to see the many treasures, toys and beauties sent by Shang, so he ordered Tang to be released back to Shang.

The matter of Hou Zhu imprisoning Tang caused even greater panic among the princes and Fang Guo, and they all defected to Shang, willing to help Tang destroy Xia, and on the same day, 500 princes went to Tang to form an alliance.

After Tang returned to Shang, the painful experience of being imprisoned strengthened Tang's determination to destroy Xia. After consulting with the minister, it was decided to keep the light in obscurity for the time being, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the minister.

In 1683 BC, after three years of recuperation, the Shang army launched a surprise attack and destroyed the Wen State (HN Jiaozuo W County In 1681 BC, Xia Bo, the king of Kunwu, relied on his ability and led his army to attack Shang. Yi Yin saw that Kunwu was desperately loyal to Lu Gui and was bent on being an enemy of Shang, so he asked Tang to lead his army to meet Kunwu. In the first battle, the Kunwu army was defeated, and the Kunwu army retreated.

Subsequently, Shang and the princes met in Bo (hn Shangqiu ZY District, and jointly conquered the state of Feng Wei (hn Anyang h county Shang Shi then captured the state of Feng Wei. After that, he recruited Gu Guo (hn Puyang F County Taishi Ling Zhonggu gave the divination omen to Xu, crying and sending it to Xu, who disdained it. Zhonggu defected to the Shang state, causing great repercussions among the princes and expanding the influence of Shang.

In 1680, the Shang and the princes allied forces captured the state of Gu.

In order to show his determination to conquer Xia, not to occupy territory, but also to show goodwill to the Great Peng State that had taken refuge in him, Tang agreed that the children surnamed Peng would continue to be in charge of the Fenwei Kingdom, so the Fenwei Kingdom also became a member of the princes who crusaded against the Xia Dynasty.

At this time, there was another great drought in the world. Tang took Yi Yin's advice and stopped paying tribute to the Xia Dynasty in order to test the strength of the Xia Dynasty.

When the news reached the Xia capital, Shang Tang saw that he could still mobilize the forces of the Jiuyi clan, and knew that Xia's power was still very strong. Shang Tang knew that the time was not coming, so he immediately pleaded guilty to Lu Gui, humbly expressed his submission, resumed the tribute, removed the mustard in Lu Gui's heart, and won the time to wait for the opportunity.

Fei Bochang defected to Shangguo.

In the winter of October, Hou Lugui mobilized the people to dig mountains and build water conservancy to alleviate the drought.

In 1679, during the construction of water conservancy, Qushan Mountain collapsed, which was considered a bad omen in ancient times. The virtuous minister Guan Long wanted to admonish more moral politics in the morning, and this landslide Guan Longfeng seemed to be a warning from God, so he wrote many times. Lu Hui was very angry and put Guan Longfeng to death.
