→Joining Liangshan
When the imperial general [[Huyan Zhuo]] is fleeing to Qingzhou after being beaten in his military mission to stamp out the [[Liangshan Marsh]], he passes by Mount Peach Blossom and puts up in an inn. That night Zhou Tong's men steal his horse, a gift from [[Emperor Huizong]], from the stable. Mad at the loss, Huyan suggests to Qingzhou's governor Murong Yanda that he would help him wipe out all the local bandits to redeem his defeat at Liangshan.
As they are no match for Huyan, [[Li Zhong ]] and [[Zhou Tong]] turn to the outlaws of the nearby Mount Twin Dragons led by Lu Zhishen for help. Finding Huyan a formidable warrior, the two strongholds conclude that it is better to seek help from Liangshan. [[Song Jiang]] leads troops to Qingzhou, where he captures and wins over Huyan. [[Li Zhong ]] and Zhou Tong are absorbed into Liangshan along with the bandits of Mount Twin Dragons.

==Campaigns and death==
Zhou Tong is appointed as one of the leaders of the Liangshan cavalry after the [[108 Stars of Destiny]] came together in what is called the Grand Assembly. He participates in the campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces in Song territory following amnesty from [[Emperor Huizong]] for Liangshan.
