The news previously sent back to the capital only stated that after Jing Renyi arrived in Liangcheng and took over the military camp, the barbarians from outside the border launched a surprise raid under the cover of night. Unlike previous encounters, that battle suddenly erupted near the mountain range.
Since Jing Renyi had just arrived in Liangcheng and was unfamiliar with the terrain, he led his men into a fierce skirmish with the enemy. In the heat of the battle, he and the enemy leader both plunged into the turbulent river, and all news of him ceased thereafter.
According to reports from spies planted among the enemy, the barbarian leader was found and brought back to the tribe a few days after going missing, but there was no sign of Jing Renyi.
