In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, he exiled him to the north of Jing and Luo (present-day Jing river and Luo River in Shaanxi) and ordered him to pay tribute on time. Later, due to the Zhou army's suppression of the Rebellion of the Three Prisons and the attack on Zhunyi in the east, and loosening its control of the northwest, the Ghost Fang tribe took the opportunity to take the opportunity to travel from the west of Qizhou (present-day Qishan, Shaanxi) and between Long (present-day Ganyang and Longxian, Shaanxi), and often invaded the northwestern border of Western Zhou, threatening the Zhou capital Hojing (present-day Western Xi'an, Shaanxi). In the twenty-fifth year of King Kang of Zhou, in order to eliminate the border troubles, King Kang of Zhou ordered Lu to lead a large army to attack the ghost side.

The ghost side also mobilized troops to meet the battle. After two large-scale battles, the Zhou army killed more than 4,800 people from the ghost side, captured its four leaders and more than 13,000 people below, and also captured many carriages and horses and a large number of cattle and sheep. The Zhou army expelled the ghost fang to the west of Qilong and Qizhou, far away from Hojing. The northwestern border of Zhou is temporarily secure.
