Defeating them in the field (so to speak) might be the most desirable solution, but open combat might prove too costly for everyone involved. Player characters might have a role to play in determining the susceptibility of warlords to co-option and possible execution of said co-option.

Just like back in the days of feudalism, various leaders/armed factions/groups will fall in and out of favour with the "authorities" and will at times be considered to have legitimacy while at other times will not.
