At this time there was a very powerful aristocrat by the name of Zhao Sheng, who refused to pay any land tax.
The Qin forces were approaching E Yu (閼與, in present-day Heshun county (和順縣), Shanxi province), which was very far from the Zhao capital of Handan.

Zhao He equipped his troops with light armour for mobility and reached the Qin forces' rear.
He was succeeded by his son Zhao Kuo, who was the commander of the catastrophic Battle of Changping.
