When he was in power, the Qiang side rose again in Shaanxi and Gansu, and repeatedly committed crimes against commerce, which often caused great losses to the Shang garrison and became the focus of the Shang Dynasty's desire to use troops. In view of the strong armed forces of Qiang people, Shang Wang made comprehensive plans and arrangements before the war. He ordered the garrison to temporarily avoid the enemy's front and stand by, and at the same time organized elite troops to reinforce the Qiang people in time to fight against foreign invasion. As a result of adopting the strategy of active defense, Kangding won the final victory in the war against Qiang, captured and killed Qiang Fangbo, occupied part of the land of Qiang people, and sent five tribes closely related to the royal family to defend. The Qiang side has not been attacked and destroyed, which has become a hidden danger.
