According to the
Bamboo Annals, his capital was moved from Mou () to
Yin (). In the second year of his reign, his vassal
Jili of Zhou attacked the
Yanjing Rong (), but they defeated him. During his third year, the
Huan River () dried up. In his fourth year, Jili attacked the Yuwu Rong () and was victorious, making Yuwu into a Zhou client. In his fifth year, Jili established
Chengyi () in the lands he had previously annexed from
Cheng. In his seventh year, Jili attacked the Shihu Rong () and was again victorious. Several years later, Jili defeated the Xitu Rong () and captured three of their generals. Worried that Zhou was growing too powerful, Wen Ding sent Jili to a rural storehouse and had him starved to death there. ==References==
