Wu Geng

Wu Geng (Chinese: 武庚, Wǔ Gēng) was an ancient Chinese noble who was the son of Zhou, the last king of the Shang.

After King Wu's death and the ascension of his young son Cheng, Wu Geng joined the failed rebellion of the Three Guards against the regent Duke of Zhou. He in turn was joined by the "Eastern Barbarian" states of Yan, Pugu, and Xu.
