[1] In 319, after Hui forced the Jin's Inspector of Pingzhou, Cui Bi, to flee to Goguryeo, he had Murong Ren appointed General Who Conquers The Caitiffs and stationed him in Liaodong.
During his time in Liaodong, Murong Ren allowed the local officials to keep their posts the same as before, which won him support in the region.
Qidegui abandoned his army and fled, so Huang and Ren sent their light cavalry to pursue them, only turning back once they have chased him a great distance.
Shortly after Huang's ascension, Han felt insecure of his position and fled to the Duan tribe with his sons.
[1] Murong Ren left his post in Pingguo to attend his father's funeral at Jicheng (棘城, in modern Jinzhou, Liaoning).
Murong Ren fought his half-brothers and Dong Shou north of Wencheng (汶城), where he won a great victory.
The generals, Wang Bing (王冰) and Sun Ji (孫機), joined forces with Ren and handed him over Xiangping (襄平, in modern Liaoyang, Liaoning) while others such as Feng Chou (封抽), Yi Yi (乙逸), Han Jiao (韓矯) and Gao Xu (高詡) abandoned their cities and fled to Huang.
Murong Hàn managed to escape and retreat with Feng Yi, who was unable to enter the region.
[5] Almost immediately, Ren received the backing of the Murong's rival Xianbei clans, including the Yuwen and Duan tribes.
In early 334, Ren appointed Zhai Kai (翟楷) and Pang Jian (龐鑒) as his own Colonel of Eastern Yi Tribes and Chancellor of Liaodong.
Zhang killed ten people from the Yuwen while capturing the Duan envoys and bringing them back to Huang.
Ren had been irked by his failure to stop Zhang Ying the previous year, so this time, he wished to rush out in hopes of actually destroying his enemies.
The riders, however, were ordered by Huang to be executed for treachery, while Ren was forced to commit suicide in similar fashion to Murong Zhao.
A number of Ren's partisans were executed while the rest fled east to seek refuge with Goguryeo, some dying to Huang's pursuers in the process.
[9] Ren's defeat allowed Huang to reunify his territory, although he still had to deal with the constant attacks from the Duan and Yuwen for the next few years, both of which he ultimately subjugated.
