History vs. fiction
The fictional King Wu Cheng of Shang and the vanguard against Shang
In volume 030 of "Investiture of the Gods" (Fengshen Yanyi), it is recorded: 「周纪见飞虎愧色，在马上大呼：‘纣王失政，君欺臣妻，大肆狂悖！’纵马使斧，来取纣王。」 In the novel, Huang Feihu is portrayed as the majestic and awe-inspiring Zhenguo Wucheng Wang of the Shang Dynasty. Because King Zhou of Shang was dissolute and tyrannical, driving his wife Jia and sister Huang Fei to death, he angrily led his family generals to rebel against the capital Zhaoge, enduring numerous hardships to defect to Xiqi. However, in historical records such as the "Records of the Grand Historian" (Shiji) and other pre-Qin official histories, there is no mention of Huang Feihu in the list of military generals. His title carries the flavor of later dynasties' official systems, and his character and deeds are purely fictional creations of Ming Dynasty novelists.
