Was it the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or the Western Zhou Dynasty that King Wu conquered Zhou?

After King Wu conquered Zhou, he established the Western Zhou Dynasty.

King Wu conquered King Zhou and established the Western Zhou Dynasty in 1046 B.C. This conclusion was based on the inscriptions of the Western Zhou Li Gui and the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. The inscription on the Li Gui recorded that " King Wu conquered Shang, only during the Jiazi period, the year of the tripod, and the Shang Dynasty was conquered." The research on the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties also speculated that King Wu conquered Zhou in 1046 B.C.

The dividing line between Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou was the incident of King Ping of Zhou moving eastward. After King Ping of Zhou decided to move the capital to Luoyi, it marked the end of Western Zhou and the beginning of Eastern Zhou. This move not only had a major impact on the development of the Zhou royal family, but it also brought new opportunities and challenges to the vassal states. King Ping of Zhou's move to the east led to a major reshuffle between the Zhou royal family and the feudal lords, marking the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.

There was no definite answer about the marching route of King Zhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, I don't know the route of King Zhou's army.

The source of King Wu's crusade against King Zhou can be found in Shangshu·Wucheng: " Move forward and change sides, attack the north of the rear." This passage described the background and process of the war when King Wu conquered Zhou.
