In the spring of the second year of King Cheng of Zhou, Wang's troops divided into two routes and launched an attack on the three eunuchs under the leadership of Duke Zhou, Duke Zhaogong and Lü Shang. The first route was led by Duke Zhou, and the route of King Wu marching into Yin Shang went straight to Shao, and the second route was led by Lu Shang and was on standby in Dongyu.

Wu Geng inherited his father's bravery, and he neither ran away nor surrendered, but resisted until death. After the Zhou army captured the Shao State, they waved their troops south, and joined forces with Lu Shangjun to attack the three prisons.

None of the three eunuchs put up a decent resistance, and all three monarchs were soon captured. The final result was that Uncle Guan was sentenced to death, Uncle Cai was exiled, and Uncle Huo was not punished, but Duke Zhou moved Huo Guo to the Hedong region, where Rong and Di were mixed.

Zhou Gong asked Uncle Guan if he had any last words, Uncle Guan still looked unruly, he shook the shackles in his hands and shouted loudly: "Regent, Prince Regent!" If killing your brother can be touted as a great feat, then sacrifice your crown with my blood! Zhou Gong cried and hugged Uncle Guan for the last time and said, "How dare I kill my own brother?" But the law of Zhou stipulates that the rebels must be executed! ”

Song Weizi's loyalty earned him great rewards and honors: he himself achieved the status of a duke; The Song state was elevated from a small state to a grand duchy; The Song State was allowed to continue the sacrifice to the ancestors of the Yin Shang Dynasty in place of the Shao State.

The participation of the Dongyi princes in the rebellion gave the royal family a pretext for a crusade, and the Duke of Zhou wanted to solve the threat from the east once and for all. After quelling the rebellion of the Three Prisons, the royal family began to prepare for war against Dongyi.

In the spring of the third year of King Cheng of Zhou, Duke of Zhou and Lü Shang led a large army to the east, and King Cheng of Zhou went with the army. The battle went smoothly in the early days, but as it penetrated deep into the hinterland of Dongyi, the enemy's resistance gradually became stubborn; Later, every city captured came at a huge cost.

The most tragic battle of the Eastern Crusade was the Battle of Annihilation (present-day Qufu, Shandong). Amyo is known as the number one power in Dongyi, and Amyo was once the former capital of Yin Shang, with high cities and deep pools, strong soldiers and strong horses. Fei Lian's merchant army was also stationed here. After a hard-fought battle, the Zhou army finally captured the city. Regarding the ending of the Western Zhou Dynasty's war against Dying, the history books only use one word "practice" to summarize.

Practice is "remnant", that is, "killing his people, holding his home (becoming a slave), destroying his city, and destroying his worship." The Zhou people have the tradition of "destroying the country and not ending human sacrifices", so for tyrants like King Xu, the Zhou people did not cut off his sacrifices. Therefore, later generations really can't imagine what kind of atrocities the Zhou people committed to the Zhou people, so that the Zhou people carried out the most cruel revenge on them. The survivors of the Amaki Kingdom later fled south to the Changzhou area, where they established the Ancient Flood Kingdom.

Fei Lian led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Pugu (present-day Linzibei, Shandong), which became the last stronghold of the Dongyi rebel forces, and the Zhou division continued to march north after a short rest. Since the expedition to Pugu was fraught with great risks, the Duke of Zhou asked King Cheng to stay in a safe place, while he personally led the army to the north.

The hurricane operation of the Western Zhou army swept through Dongyi, and the small local Fang states and tribes fell to the side of the royal family, and Pugu was isolated.

Under the stubborn attack of the Zhou army and the enthusiastic help of the Dongyi people, Pugu was finally captured. Fei Lian fled in the direction of the sea, and he planned to flee to the south by boat. Jiang Shang led his army in pursuit of the remnants of the old Shang army, and finally surrounded the exhausted enemy before the enemy could board the ship.

That army defended the last dignity of the old merchant soldiers, and none of the sergeants surrendered, and all of them died in battle. After the two great powers of Xian and Pugu were destroyed, the other countries of the Dongyi group bowed down one after another.

It took three years from the rebellion of the Three Prisons to the fall of Dongyi. The Zhou people invested many times more military and financial resources than the shearing merchants in the war of destroying the three prisons and subduing the Dongyi. The "Book of Songs" includes a famous poem called "Broken Axe", which should be written by the soldiers and soldiers of the army to commemorate the Eastern Crusade. The author reflects the cruelty of the battle through the description of the broken weapon, and he is also glad that he can still live to the day of victory.

"Poetry" says: "I am broken with my axe, but I am also lacking in my chop." The Duke of Zhou went on an eastward expedition, and the four kingdoms were emperors. Mourn my people, and I will be the general. Break my axe, but also lack my sword. Zhou Gong's Eastern Expedition, the Four Kingdoms are Xuan. Mourn my people, and also Kong Zhijia. Break my axe, but also lack my hammer. Zhou Gong's Eastern Expedition, the Four Kingdoms are Xuan. Mourn my people, and also take a break. ”
