In the same year, he was forced to join the rebel army because of his reputation in Xiliang. In 187, he destroyed the rebel leader and took over the military power. He ruled Xiliang for 32 years. His military and political career was equivalent to Cao Cao's 32 years from his inception to his death, and he lived longer than the heavyweights Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Ma Teng, etc. Who were born in Xiliang. He was a key figure in deciphering the secret of the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
