What was the time and place when King Wu conquered Zhou?

King Wu conquered King Zhou in 1046 B.C. At this time, King Wu and Jiang Ziya thought that the time had come. They united the vassal states and led the army across the Yellow River from Mengjin to Muye, the outskirts of Zhaoge, to start the decisive battle. This war was regarded as a war that would topple the entire country, because King Zhou of Shang had already exhausted all his national strength, while King Wu of Zhou had obtained the support of all the vassal states. In the Battle of Muye, the Shang army was defeated, and King Zhou set himself on fire in Lutai. The Shang Dynasty was finally destroyed. Therefore, it could be said that the timing of King Wu's attack on King Zhou of Shang was under the circumstances where King Zhou's national strength was weak and all the vassal states joined forces to support him.
