In order to win the hearts and minds of the people www.biquge.info he also implemented a series of policies for the common people in the area under his rule, such as cutting the rich and helping the poor, reducing taxes, etc., so that the people's lives were gradually improved, and the country gradually became rich and strong.

In 2108 BC, in order to strengthen the offensive against the Han Kingdom, the Shang Marquis was given the post of Xiangtu riding a horse, and the Shang Marquis was granted the right to conquer the princes without asking for instructions. The Shang Marquis Xiangtuju clan moved into the former capital of the emperor (hn Shangqiu ZY district to strengthen the defense of Xiayi (Liyi, hn Shangqiu XY County, because there is a hill of the ancestor of the Shang clan in Z County, so later generations also called it Shangqiu, and the mound is the meaning of the ancestral tomb. Xiangtu is the third king of Shang, from Qi, Zhaoming to Xiangtu, Shang has passed on to the third generation.

As mentioned earlier, Qi and Yu were contemporaries, Xia Yu was a descendant of the Gaoyang clan, and the Shang clan was a descendant of the Emperor Gaoxin.

In BC2104 (the 11th year of Han Xun, that is, the 19th year of the Xia Dynasty), Han Xun, with the support of his two sons, launched a surprise attack on the territory of the Xia Dynasty. Due to the unpreparedness of the Xia Hou clansmen, the attack was very successful, not only plundering a large amount of property, but also capturing many civilians. Han Xun gave all these people of the Xia Dynasty to his ministers as slaves. This battle strengthened Han Xun's determination to destroy Xia, and he made a lot of preparations in terms of military preparations, and decided to choose the right time to launch a full-scale attack on the Xia Dynasty's ruling area.

In 2103 BC (the twelfth year of Han Xun and the twentieth year of Xia Wangxiang), the first decisive battle between Han and Xia broke out. Han Xun adopted the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, and he and his second son Han Xi each led an army to bluff and feint to attack the Guanguan (Diqiu, HN Shangqiu Z County and Shen Shu (SD Weifang), so that they did not dare to reinforce, and sent the eldest son Han Dou, who had the most military talent, to lead the main force to capture the Xia vassal state Yi (between Hn Taikang and Z County) between Shangqiu and Kaifeng. As a result, the connection between Xia Du and the west of HN and SX was all cut off, and Xia's backup was cut off. Han Xun sent Han Xi to guard Yiyi.

Although the Han Kingdom won this war, it also damaged a lot of troops, and many young and middle-aged people died on the battlefield. Han Xun decided to temporarily suspend the army and make a truce to recuperate and recharge his strength in order to fight again. Xia Wang Jixiang had enough ability to fight back at this time, but he was frightened by the powerful offensive of the Han State, and did not dare to organize an army to attack, but ordered to strengthen the defense of the border cities, which left a good opportunity for the Han State to recuperate.

In the eighteenth year of Han Xun (BC2097), the army of Han was stronger than before after six years of rest. Han Xun once again mobilized his army and launched a second decisive battle with the Xia Dynasty. He ordered Han Dou to lead the main force to launch a surprise attack, attacking the Guan clan, the leader of the Guan clan, Ji Kaijia led the Xia army and the princes to meet the enemy, Han Dou deliberately pretended to be invincible, pretending to retreat, but in fact secretly set up an ambush, Xi Kaijia lightly advanced the enemy, hit the ambush of Han Shui, ambushed the soldiers in all directions, surrounded the Xia army on all sides, Xi Kaijia led the soldiers to break through desperately, and finally all died.

Subsequently, the Han army directly took the summer capital and poured irrigation (Diqiu, hn Shangqiu Z County Xia Wang Xiang led the army and people in the city to resist desperately, and finally because of the weak situation, they could not stop the strong offensive of the Han army. The Han army broke through the city, and all the subjects were captured. Xia Wangxiang and his concubines were placed under house arrest in the palace.

At this point, the Xia dynasty's rule in hn had collapsed.

Shang Hou saw that the situation was not good, and did not contribute to the death. took the initiative to dedicate Xiayi City to Han Xun, Han Xun ignored his previous suspicions, and still guarded the Shang clan (hn Shangqiu ZY District is not to blame. The basis here is that if he dies and Shang is on the front line, I am afraid that he will be wiped out, and there will be no future rule over the world.

After the defeat of the Xia Dynasty, the only opposing force was the vassal state of Weifang.

In the nineteenth year of Han Xun (BC2096), Han poured the victory and marched to attack the country. When he heard that he had been killed in battle, he was about to raise an army to avenge him, but now he learned that the Han army had invaded his territory again, and he was furious and immediately led his army to meet him. The two sides took a boat on the Wei River (SD Weifang territory) and engaged in a fierce battle.

At that time, the Wei River was deep and rapid, and the water surface was wide, and Han Dou sent dozens of sailors to dive under the water and scuttle through Xi Muding's warship. The Xia army was very panicked when they saw the warship leaking, and the Han army took the opportunity to attack and kill, and the Xia army's large tribe drowned, and the survivors were also killed. He was also killed by the Han army in the melee. The main force of the country was wiped out, the people were scattered, and the country was immediately destroyed. SD declared peace.

In the twentieth year of Han Xun (BC2095), after destroying all the princes loyal to the Xia Dynasty, Han Xun ordered to kill the queen minister, exterminate the clan, and destroy the city.

The Han army brutally slaughtered the soldiers and civilians in the city and the ministers of the Xia Hou clan, and the Xia Wang Xiang and his clansmen were killed by the Han army, and the blood inside and outside the palace was like a river. The city was reduced to ruins.

At this point, King Xia reigned for a total of 28 years, the Xia Dynasty officially died, and the ruling area of the Xia Dynasty was all controlled by Han Xun. Han Xun made his two sons kings, the eldest son's fief was in Guoyi (SD Laizhou), responsible for monitoring the Wei River valley and preventing the resurgence of the Wei River Valley, and the second son Han Xi's fief was in Yiyi, the hometown of Yi (between Hn Taikang and Z County), and was responsible for monitoring the boundary of Hn territory. This is the beginning of the surname Guo and the surname Yi, and the surname Han is the same clan and family.

Xia's old minister Bo Mi fled to the Youqi tribe (SD Han Xun of Py County, Texas thought that he had killed all the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, but he never expected that Xia Wangxiang was already pregnant with his concubine Hou Xuan, and unknowingly climbed out of the water hole under the city wall.

Shaokang grew up in his grandfather's house, pseudonym Du Kang, and became the Mu Zheng (official in charge of animal husbandry) of Youyouguo, during which Shaokang was good at winemaking, and later called Du Kang Wine Saint.

In the fortieth year of Hanxun (BC2075), Shaokang's identity was leaked, and the news spread to Dou there, and Pour Pepper chased him. When it was about to be Youyi's clan, Shaokang heard the news and fled to the same clan of the Yu clan (hn Shangqiu YC County Youyu State is a vassal state that inherited Emperor Shun's incense, and is the descendant of the son of Zhuan Xuan, and the Xia Hou clan's Kun and Yu are the non-descendant of Zhuan.
