In the first year of the Heqian Dynasty, the national power of the Shang Dynasty had declined a lot at this time, and the country was troubled and contradictory inside and outside the country. In order to alleviate the contradictions, He qijia decided to move the capital from Huan to Xiang.

In the three years of Heqijia, the national situation has been restored to a certain extent, and Heqijia joined forces with the State of Peng to attack the State of Pi, and the State of Pi was defeated and had to submit to the Shang Dynasty.

In the fourth year of the HeqiangJia, the Shang Dynasty sent troops to conquer the Eastern tribe Lanyi. In the fifth year of Heqijia, Heqijia sent Peng Bo and Weber to lead an army to conquer the Banfang, and the Banfang was defeated and had to return to the Shang Dynasty. Seeing this, the Ban fang's allies, feared that Heqijia would also send troops to attack them, so they had to submit to Heqijia.
