If you did not become auto killed when you fled from assasination it would be very hard to use assasins except on commanders moving with armies. Every player would put all important commanders not currently headed for combat on retreat.

I actually addressed a solution for this within another thread. What should be done is the assassin should be placed on the defenders side of the battlefield and the defender on the attackers side of the battlefield. This means the commander/mage would have to run past the assassin while retreating.
If the commander does successfully retreat it still ends up in a different province if one is available plus any units under its command would have been left behind. This provides an effective assassination while still being logically and historically accurate.
