Hou Ying was over 70 years old. He and his family were very poor, and he himself was an official of low rank who was in charge of the city gate of Daliang, the Wei capital.

Then Hou Ying advised Lord Xinling： "If only you had the Commander's Seal , which is bestowed only by the king himself , you could take Jin Bi's place and lead his troops to the help of Zhao."

侯嬴给信陵君出主意说：“只要派人偷取大王的兵符，便可假传命令，要晋鄙出兵了。”
