Zhao Xin and Han Qing have been fighting many times. This time, they are very familiar with the tactics commonly used by Han Qing, Zhao Xinmenqing. This defensive tactic is a magic weapon used by Han Qing to resist him. Every time Han Qing relies on this all-round defense to block himself, so Zhao Xin sent someone to contact Song Chu's surrendered generals, hoping to break the defense line from within and reduce casualties.

Zhao Xin continued: "I plan to choose a place to conduct a tentative attack. Let's first look at the strength of the Qi army." A large-scale attack is impossible at this stage. After all, the Qi army also has 300,000 troops and has the benefits of a city. I can only test step by step and explore the strength of the Qi army before talking about it.

"Where do the general thinks he attacks?" asked General Li Rengong.

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "The Ge Kingdom is too far away from this place, which is inconvenient. And Leling and Ban County are stationed in the main force of the Qi army, and it is not suitable for tentative attacks. Only Yanci is the best choice. This general's intention is to use General Li Rengong as the main general and General Huang Jue as the deputy general, leading 100,000 troops to attack Yanci."

"Abide by the general's orders!" Li Rengong and Huang Qing said.

Zhao Xin said to Li Rengong and Huang Feng: "The purpose of sending troops this time is to test it. It is good if you have the opportunity to take down the city, but you must not take a strong attack. He Jiong, who is unfair, must be careful. If you can't do anything, you can return it." He Jiong is a veteran general of Qi State. His strength is so good. Zhao Xin already knew it in his mind after several battles. Although he is not as good as himself and Han Qing, his abilities are still above Sima Chong and Zhang Chuan.

"Here!" Li Rengong and Huang Feng replied.

On March 20, 17th year of Qianyuan, Li Rengong and Huang Qing led 100,000 Zhao troops to the city of Yanci. In order to prevent it, Zhao Xin recalled the Zhao army's powerful general Tu Gao from Shangdang and went to Yanci with Li Rengong and others. Tu Gao had a military value of 102 and could hold on at critical moments. If it were not for the Zhao's most powerful general Le Yun who wanted to stay in Leling to deal with the Qi's most powerful general Jia Biao, Zhao Xin would not have to recall Tu Gao at all. Among the 100,000 Zhao troops, there were still 10,000 cavalry.

On the Yanci City, He Jiong looked at the 100,000 Qi troops under the city with a serious look, followed by Shangguan Qingyang, He Ji, Guan Jun and other generals of Qi. Guan Jun was also the former general of the Song State. Since he discovered that the Zhao army advanced eastward, He Jiong retreated all his troops into the city and defended the city with the order of Han Qing. Although this was not He Jiong's wish, as a long-time opponent, He Jiong also recognized Li Rengong, Huang Feng, Tu Gao and others. With his own ability, He Jiong believed that even if the Zhao army had a population of 100,000, he would not be his opponent, but his military orders were as good as a mountain.

Han Qing was scared by Zhao Xin. When he met Zhao Xin, when his troops were at a disadvantage, Han Qing would choose this kind of passive defense to resist Zhao Xin. Life is so wonderful. This kind of play that He Jiong thought was very negative is precisely the best way to deal with Zhao Xin. Every time Han Qing used this tactic, Zhao Xin returned in vain.

"General He, all the defensive materials in the city are ready, and all the food and grass can support our army for a year, but do we really have to defend this way? The members of the city all knew us, and there is not a chance of winning in a fight. Why don't we go out of the city to fight with the Qi army?" Shangguan Qingyang, who was standing beside him, said to He Jiong, and Shangguan Qingyang was also unwilling to defend himself and wanted to go out of the city to fight with the Qi army.

But He Jiong shook his head and said, "No, General Han has an order. Without his military orders, no one can leave the city to fight."

"But..." Shangguan Qingyang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by He Jiong.

"There is nothing, military orders are like mountains, and no one can go to war without the general's military order." He Jiong shouted.

"Here!" the generals had no choice but to answer in unison.

However, Li Rengong, Huang Feng, Tu Gao and others under the city were motionless and had no intention of attacking.

"Report to the three generals, no trace of the Qi army was found within a radius of five miles!" At this time, a scout came to Li Rengong and the other two.

Li Rengong nodded and signaled to the scout to go down. After the scout left, Huang Qing said to Li Rengong: "General Li, it seems that all the Qi troops near He Jiong have retreated into Yanci City and planned to defend the city to the death. If the attack is strong, there will be too much casualties."

Li Rengong replied: "It's true. It's not advisable to attack forcefully, but it doesn't matter. The task given to us by the general is to test. Don't worry, observe it for a while."

"General Li, General Huang, since the Qi army does not come out, why not let me go down to challenge the city and try the strength of the Qi army general?" At this time, Tu Gao, who was standing beside him, proposed to fight the generals at the city.

Li Rengong thought about it and thought that this idea was quite good. Tu Gao's strength was at the forefront of the entire Zhao State. There were very few people who could defeat Tu Gao in Qi State, let alone killing Tu Gao. So he nodded and said, "Well, since the Qi army refused to come out, please ask General Tu to go to the city to challenge. If he could kill several Qi generals, it would be best. But once things were not done, General Tu must retreat quickly and must not act recklessly."
