If King Da Liang had not occupied Han Zhong Prefecture, Yang Mingzhao's first target would have been Han Zhong Prefecture. But because King Da Liang occupied Han Zhong Prefecture first, Yang Mingzhao settled for Baoning Prefecture instead.
Once they occupy Baoning Prefecture, they will block most of the roads for King Da Liang to move south into Bashu.
Although both sides are rebels, Yang Mingzhao doesn't want to mix with the bandits like King Da Liang.
Therefore, he actively moved to occupy Baoning Prefecture, intending to block King Da Liang, preventing him from moving south.
Apart from this, King Da Liang will also serve as a shield for them, helping him resist the northern imperial army.
Everyone discussed the details of the deployment, and then they began their busy preparations.
