Later, King Zhou became increasingly tyrannical, and Marquis Hu of Chong helped him to do evil. King Wen was determined to overthrow Chong and Shang. After a fierce battle, King Wen's troops finally reached the capital of Chong, which was surrounded by deep moats and strong walls, making it very difficult for them to conquer.

As he was considering whether or not to withdraw his troops, the residents of Chong rebelled against Marquis Hu of Chong. The army also rebelled,because they hated to see Marquis Hu of Chong using the residents as human shields against the troops of King Wen.

With inside help, Zhou finally defeated Chong, laying a solid foundation for King Wu of Zhou to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty of grand unification.
