 King Huan himself was wounded in the shoulder by an arrow, and was forced to back down and negotiate peace with Duke Zhuang.This destroyed any remaining prestige and authority the Eastern Zhou royal court had over its vassals, and confirmed the "de facto" independence of the feudal states.The Zhou court was so impoverished after that defeat that, when King Huan died in 697 BC, it took the court seven years to get enough funding for a fitting royal funeral.
