At Dong Zhuo's invitation, she persuaded him to move the capital to Chang'an, giving Dong Zhuo the determination to do so and providing Bingzhou with room to grow. After establishing a foothold, she joined the Yellow Turbans in killing Liu Dai. Later, in Bingzhou, she reformed the military, rectified its conduct, and led the army to become a strong force.
