On the fourth day when Murong Jin led the army into Rong County, Yuan Rui, the defender of Bazhou, led an army of 40,000 from Bazhou, and Li Yanqing's army of 50,000 also arrived unexpectedly.

After Murong Jin's sneak attack on Bazhou failed, there were less than 30,000 people left in the whole army, and the military food could last for a day, they stayed in Rong County for four days, and waited for Chai Shang's reinforcements, but unfortunately, Chai Shang's army has been blocked in Baoding and cannot advance, for this reason, Chai Shang had to let the herald go to Jizhou City and ask Yuan Huan for help...

What is particularly poignant is that when Chai Shang's people asking for help arrived in Jizhou City to report the matter to Yuan Huan, they were directly refused, on the grounds that Murong Jin acted without orders and was fully responsible for the operation; The people who asked for help had to go away, and Ouyang Qing, who learned the news, made his own decisions and ordered his son Ouyang Min to lead 30,000 cavalry, led by the people who asked for help, and went to Rong County in the starry night, in order to be able to rescue Murong Jin...

The reason for this is very simple, Murong Jin is Shangguan Yin Feng's father-in-law, and Shangguan Yin Feng saved Ouyang Qing, and now Ouyang Qing is nominally the second vanguard of the imperial court, in fact, he has attached Shangguan Yin Feng, and privately recognizes Shangguan Yin Feng as the main father, and Deng Yu is also supervising the army in his army, so he has to send people to the rescue with both public and private affairs...

When Yuan Huan learned that Ouyang Qing sent troops to aid Murong Jin, it was already three hours later, and he also turned a blind eye to this, his mind was very simple, that is, to consume Ouyang Qing's men and horses, Ouyang Qing was Shangguan Yin Feng's person It was actually an indisputable fact, but he didn't directly pick it out on the surface...

Since he is Shangguan Yin Feng's person, then he has to keep consuming his strength, after all, Ouyang Qing still has more than 100,000 horses in his hands, which is enough to become a hegemon, but he chose to belong to Shangguan Yin Feng, that is, the potential threat of the Gongsun family, and now that he has the opportunity to consume his strength as much as possible, he will consume it as much as possible, so as not to be constrained when he gets it...

Rong County, Hebei Province

It was already dawn when Murong Jin stood on the urn city, Li Yanqing led the army to storm the east gate, and the casualties on both sides were quite heavy, and the north gate was also fiercely attacked by Yuan Rui...

Rong County is a small county in Hebei, most of the county is made of rammed earth, the tallest urn tower is only eight meters, and the shortest city wall is less than six meters, Li Yanqing's army can attack the city wall every time, but because of the strong counterattack of Murong Jin's soldiers, it will not be broken by the enemy...

The battle between the two sides has passed all night, and now it is just dawn, they are a little sleepy, Murong Jin ordered his soldiers to rest on the spot, today they must break out, otherwise they will be trapped in the city, they have no food in their hands, and most of the people in the city have been evacuated shortly after they entered the city, the food in the granary has long been requisitioned, and the people are hungry, not to mention them who are soldiers...

"Adjutant General, you arrange it, the whole army rests on the spot, cooks and eats the last grain, and prepares to break through from the South Gate..."

The art of war pays attention to putting the place of death and then reviting, so in the siege war, unless there is really so much grain and grass to maintain the duration of the army, it will generally deliberately leave some flaws for the other party, so that the enemy has the opportunity to escape, so that it is easy to defeat and win, after all, the back road is all blocked, people will fight to the death with the enemy in order to survive, so that most of the troops will be lost, even if the battle is won, it is to kill the enemy 1,000 and lose 800...

"Yes, the last general will do it..."The adjutant general immediately went down to the city to arrange the breakout after hearing the order...

At the same time, Li Yanqing camped

"General, the last general was ordered to leave more than a thousand old and weak soldiers at the south gate, just waiting for Murong Jin to lead the army to break through the siege...", a general said after entering the big tent...

"Okay, as long as they break through from the south gate, let Murong Jin completely collapse in this Rong County..."Li Yanqing ambushed 10,000 elite cavalry in the woods a few miles outside the south gate of Rong County, as long as Murong Jin led the army to break through from the south gate, he would definitely pass through that place, and it was also a good source for an ambush battle...

"General, from this point of view, our army is in control of victory..."The faces of the generals under the tent all showed excited looks, this is a rare big victory for them in the past few months...

"You all remember, try to capture Murong Jin alive, don't let him die in our hands, otherwise, it will inevitably cause Shangguan Yin Feng's dissatisfaction, and now we can't offend him..." killed Murong Jin, and the consequence could only be that Shangguan Yin Feng personally led the army to come to conquer in order to take revenge...

That night, Li Yanqing once again ordered the army to attack the city, Yuan Rui also personally commanded the soldiers to attack outside the city, Murong Jin began to implement the plan for the morning, and took the rest of the army out of the south gate, after breaking through the encirclement of the thousand old and weak soldiers, he went to the predetermined place before Li Yanqing, Murong Jin did not think at this time that in that woods, what was waiting for him was the last road...

On the night of October 27, the second year of Tianzhu, Murong Jin was ambushed by Li Yanqing's army in the woods south of Rong County, and the last few thousand men and horses were all wiped out, and the rest of the people either surrendered or abandoned their armor and blended into the fleeing people, Murong Jin drew his sword and killed himself in a desperate situation, and died at the age of fifty-nine...

A generation of famous generals, this fell, when Murong Jin killed himself that night, he had already been injured, the deputy general let him go first, Murong Jin did not allow it, vowed to fight until the last moment, due to the lack of people and horses, the melee was only an hour, all his soldiers were killed, only he was left alive, the pain on his body began to faintly come, Murong Jin was sad and angry at the moment to kill himself with a knife...

When Li Yanqing arrived, his sergeant had just cleaned up Murong Jin's body, Li Yanqing, who saw this scene, shook his head helplessly, the last thing he wanted to see turned out to be happening, so he had to order someone to build a good coffin, decorate Murong Jin's body, and order someone to send it to Baoding and hand it over to Chai Shang...

When Ouyang Min arrived, the battle in Rong County had already ended, and when he led the army back, he passed by the military camp of Chai Shang in Baoding, and happened to meet Chai Shang ordering his men to send Murong Jin's coffin to Anyang, so Ouyang Min took the initiative to take over Chai Shang's action and escorted Murong Jin's body back to Anyang for burial...

The news of Murong Jin's death soon spread to Luoyang, after all, he was a generation of famous generals, and he died for the imperial court. And Murong Jin was buried according to the courtesy of the marquis...

Shangguan Yin Feng learned of Murong Jin's death more than ten days later, the saddest thing was not Murong Xue, crying was dead and alive, and he had to go to Anyang, but he was locked up at home by Shangguan Yin Feng, let the other three sisters comfort her, and also urgently recruited Murong Xuehu to comfort Murong Xue, after all, they are brothers and sisters, needless to say...

Murong Jin has been a general since the Xinmang period, and until now, his prestige can be regarded as known to everyone in the world, so after his death, it also caused a lot of waves, Li Yanqing's name has spread all over the country, and everyone in the entire pass knows Li Yanqing...

It's also a shame that Li Yanqing didn't do it himself, but even if Murong Jin killed himself, Li Yanqing, who forced Murong Jin to death, couldn't get rid of it, although his reputation stinked, but this Li Yanqing was also famous and became a great celebrity, Yuan Jingchu also praised it...

Indeed, Li Yanqing was able to trick a battle-hardened veteran like Murong Jin into his pocket and close the door and beat the dog, which is indeed very powerful...

And said Li Yanqing, the ancestor in the Western Han Dynasty is just a landlord's housekeeper, after the rebellion of Xinmang, the main family died, his father got his family assets, a little success, Yuan Jingchu was appointed as the king of Beiping, recruited Hebei Magi, Li Yanqing took the initiative to go to Beiping with a lot of family wealth to join Yuan Jingchu, because he followed the main child to study private school for a few years when he was a child, his wisdom is also a little successful, under Yuan Jingchu's account is to play steadily, until when the Wuhuan people are fighting, with a disadvantage of less than 300 cavalry to repel 4,000 Wuhuan cavalry, which became famous, The official position soared all the way, during the attack on Zhenfan County, a one-person command post was connected to the eleven counties of Zhenfan, Yuan Jingchu promoted him to the general of the Protector Army, and when he crusaded against Jizhou, he was named the general of Zhengnan...

It can be seen from this that Li Yanqing is indeed a rare general, his wisdom is far higher than that of ordinary people, and he is also a strong opponent after Shangguan Yin Feng...
