With Zu Lang in charge of this matter, Liu Zheng didn't care, he continued to take the people and horses to drink a little wine by the river, look at the scenery, and wait for the results brought back by Zu Lang.

In just half a day, Zu Lang went and returned, bringing him news from Pan Lin.

is similar to Zu Lang's expectation, Liu Zheng's status is no longer the same, he opened his mouth to persuade him to surrender, naturally he was able to catch it, a water thief like Pan Lin, if he went against Liu Zheng, he would definitely not end well.

Therefore, Pan Lin, who was knowledgeable, naturally joined Liu Zheng's command.

As soon as Zu Lang spoke, Pan Lin agreed without the slightest hesitation.

After all, in front of those officials and soldiers in Poyang County, Pan Lin has always been a thief, and it is impossible to become a group of people with them, but he is different on Liu Zheng's side, he only needs to surrender to Liu Zheng, and he can immediately change his birth, from a group of water thieves to a regular army under Liu Zheng and Zulang.

It was precisely because Zu Lang came to personally persuade him to surrender that Pan Lin would agree so quickly.

Pan Lin is also very familiar with Zu Lang, they are both one of the four major water thieves in Poyang Lake, the strength of Zu Lang in the past is not even as good as Pan Lin, but now Zu Lang is about to dominate the entire Poyang Lake waters, and his status is so strong because Zu Lang took refuge in Liu Zheng.

And Pan Lin also wants to change his situation, so it is not surprising that he takes refuge in Liu Zheng.

With Pan Lin's surrender, dealing with those people in Poyang County was naturally not difficult for Liu Zheng, and they quickly discussed the plan.

Let Pan Lin's people infiltrate the city first, and when Liu Zheng's army comes, kill the guards defending the city, and directly open the city gate to welcome Liu Zheng's army into the city.

In this way, we will be able to lay down this kind of county seat in the fastest time.

Just when Liu Zheng and his own men were discussing how to enter Poyang County.

At this time, in the Xiliang area. A big war is also going on.

The Xiliang region, which is now the top priority of the imperial court, sent more than 100,000 troops here in order to quell the Qiang unrest in Xiliang as soon as possible.

At the beginning, when Huangfu Song was still dealing with these things in Xiliang, because of the strength of the Xiliang rebels, they did not deal with the turmoil in Xiliang in a short period of time, but made the turmoil in Xiliang evolve more and more fiercely.

But later, after Huangfu Song was killed, Lu Zhi replaced Huang Fu Song to suppress the rebels in Xiliang, and his strength was revealed, Lu Zhi first asked Dong Zhuo to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to Longxi to recover the lost territory.

Then he ordered Ding Yuan, who came to support from Bingzhou, to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, starting from Anding County and gradually approaching Jincheng.

Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses intercepted the Qiang soldiers and horses from south to north, while Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses intercepted the Qiang soldiers and horses from east to west, and Lu Zhi's own army led 50,000 horses and horses to reduce the defense line step by step from Tianshui County, and recaptured the city occupied by the Qiang people little by little.

The rebellion of the Qiang people, because of the huge involvement, if the imperial court does not deal with it, and when it evolves into something that cannot be cleaned up, it will be bad, after all, once something happens in Xiliang, the cavalry of the rebels can directly attack the land of Sanfu, and it only takes a day or two to be able to kill directly under Luoyang City.

This is not a headache for those adults in Luoyang City, so the rebellion in other places can be put aside for the time being, but Xiliang must be managed.

On the Jincheng side, the rebel forces are divided into three parts.

The leader of the Qiang people, Beigong Boyu.

The Liangzhou Overseer was engaged in Bian Yun, which was later renamed Bian Zhang.

Liangzhou engaged in Han Yue, and later changed its name to Han Sui.

Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, the three of them occupy most of Xiliang today, and they have more than 100,000 troops under their command, among which the Qiang people under Beigong Boyu have the largest number.

In fact, at the beginning, only a group of Qiang people led by Beigong Boyu rebelled against the imperial court, when Beigong Boyu led his own soldiers and horses, cavalry to resist the imperial court, quickly captured the Xiliang Mansion, and then killed the assassin at that time, leaving only two big officials, Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui, the official position is not the biggest, but the status is very high, the reason why Beigong Boyu did not kill them was to encourage them to rebel with him.

Because Beigong Boyu himself was unknown, so after arresting Bian Zhang and Han Sui, he supported Bian Zhang as the leader, and used Bian Zhang's identity as the overseer of Liangzhou to rebel, and in the name of fighting, it was to attack the imperial court and kill relatives.

At this time, the imperial court was successively controlled by the two brothers He Jin and He Miao, and these two brothers have always been unfriendly to Xiliang, so Beigong Boyu wanted to rebel and oppose the imperial court.

Originally, Bian Zhang and Han Sui had no intention of rebelling, and were coerced by Beigong Boyu to join them, and the court actually issued a wanted warrant for them, and in a fit of anger, they really rebelled with Beigong Boyu.

That's what comes next.

"General, Lu Zhi's men and horses have passed Tianshui and will soon come to Jincheng, if we don't try to fight back, as soon as Lu Zhi's men and horses arrive in Jincheng, we will be attacked on three sides."

In the Taishou Mansion of Jincheng, there are rebels such as Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou.

Li Wenhou is the general of Beigong Boyu, who led the soldiers and horses to fight with Dong Zhuo's men and horses in Longxi County for a long time, although Dong Zhuo was not repulsed, but he also blocked Dong Zhuo's people in Longxi County and could not enter Jincheng County.

In the past few months, they have fought with Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and others, large and small, and there have been more than a dozen battles, but these dozen battles have their own victories and defeats.

They also rarely directly confronted Lu Zhi's army, but only occupied their own cavalry advantage, plundering towns and fighting field encounters at the same time, so that Lu Zhi's men and horses were tired of running around, and they couldn't catch these rebels at all.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhi will divide his troops into three routes, form three lines of defense, and gradually reduce the scope of these rebels' activities in order to achieve the situation of encirclement, and take some time to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop.

"Come on, come on, they think that the soldiers can contain us in three ways, but in fact, on the contrary, this gives us the opportunity to break through gradually, when the time comes, we will gather an army of 100,000 and attack one of the three soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and kill one of the men and horses with lightning speed, I want to see if Lu Zhi will vomit blood in anger!"

The corners of Bian Zhang's mouth showed a hint of pride, he was the nominal leader of these rebels, even if he was the most powerful Beigong Boyu, he had to give the current Bian Zhang some face.

Because Beigong Boyu wants to rely on Bian Zhang's reputation to win over the Han people in Xiliang, so that it will not be so difficult to rule Xiliang.
