Guzhu was a vassal state of the Shang and Zhou dynasties located in the vicinity of modern Tangshan, Hebei province. It was a Dongyi state[1] and had close relations with King Tang of Shang. During the Western Zhou dynasty, the Lichi and Shanrong tribes rose up in the north-west and north-east respectively, causing concerns to Guzhu's southern neighbors, the states of Qi and Yan. In 664 BC, the monarch of an already-weakened Guzhu was killed by a Qi-Yan coalition during an expedition against the Shanrong. Finally, in 660 BC, Qi and Yan annexed Guzhu.[2]
