A year later Dong Zhuo was killed in a coup d ' etat by Wang Yun and Lü Bu.

Dong Zhuo, confident in his success, was slain by his follower Lü Bu and minister Wang Yun.

Lü Bu, in turn, was attacked by Dong Zhuo's subordinates: Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.

Lü Bu fled to Zhang Yang, a northern warlord, and remained with him for a time before briefly joining Yuan Shao, but it was clear that Lü Bu was far too independent to serve another.

However, Cao Cao received word that Lü Bu had seized Yan Province in his absence, and accordingly he retreated, putting a halt to hostilities with Tao Qian for the time being.

A year later, in 195, Cao Cao managed to drive Lü Bu out of Yan Province.

Sun Ce complied, but first convinced Cao Cao to form a coalition against Yuan Shu, of which Liu Bei and Lü Bu were members.

Afterwards, Lü Bu betrayed Liu Bei and seized Xu Province, forming an alliance with Yuan Shu's remnant forces.

Soon, preparations were made for an attack on Lü Bu, and the combined forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei invaded Xu Province.

Dong was killed by his adopted son Lü Bu ( d. 198 CE ) in a plot hatched by Wang Yun ( d. 192 CE ).

That year, he also recognized how his head secretary Lü Yi ( 呂壹 ) had been falsely accusing his officials, and had Lü executed ; he then further confirmed his trust in the high level officials by personally writing an emotional letter to Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, Zhu Ran, and Lü Dai, blaming himself for the recent problems with his administration while urging them to speak out honestly whenever they saw faults in him.

Guan Yu fled his hometown at the age of 23, after slaying a local despot named Lü Xiong ( 呂熊 ).

Zhang Liao fled with Lü Bu, and joined Yuan Shao temporarily.

Lü Fan decisively defeated Chen Yu, and as a result, Chen fled to Yuan Shao in the north, never to be heard from again.

The Wai family, being the largest family, is thought to be the direct descendants of the famous founder general of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, who purportedly fled there to escape executions ordered by Emperor Gao of Han's empress Empress Lü Zhi.

Lü Jia and Zhao Jiande realized Panyu was lost and fled the city by boat, heading west before the sun rose.

Lü Bu's men deserted him, Yuan Shu's forces never arrived as reinforcements, and he was bound by his own subordinates Song Xian and Wei Xu and executed on Cao Cao's order.

In 194, Lü Bu was welcomed by Chen Gong of Yan Province, while the warlord of the province, Cao Cao, was dwelling on causing calamities in Xu Province ( 徐州 ).

There, Lü Bu joined the Xu Province warlord, Liu Bei, who would be betrayed by Lü and lost the province to him.

Zhang Liao was made a county minister of Lü Bu when the latter gained Xu Province.

Despite initial success on the invasion, Cao Cao's subordinate Zhang Miao rebelled and allowed Lü Bu to take over Cao's base in Yan Province ( present day western Shandong ), forcing Cao to retreat from Xu Province.

Liu Bei seized the opportunity to kill Che Zhou, the Governor of Xu Province who was appointed by the imperial court after Lü Bu's defeat.

In an unprecedented move, in 184 BC, Lü Zhi also granted her younger sister Lü Xu ( 呂須 ) the title of Marquise of Lingguang, in a separate fief from that of the latter's husband Fan Kuai.

** Lü Xu ( 呂嬃 ), younger sister, Fan Kuai's wife, instated as Marquise of Linguang ( 臨光侯 ) in 184 BC.

With subordinate generals Xianyu Dan ( 鮮于丹 ), Xu Zhong ( 徐忠 ), and Sun Gui ( 孫規 ), Lü Meng's army of 20, 000 marched to southern Jing Province.

Sun Quan had plans to invade Cao Cao's Xu Province instead, but Lü Meng dissuaded him, saying that although it would be easy to take Xu Province, it would be hard to defend Xu Province from being retaken by Cao Cao again.

Hereafter Xu Huang participated in every major campaign Cao Cao undertook, including offensives against Lü Bu, Yuan Shao, Tadun, Sun Quan, and Ma Chao.

They meet again when Xu led Cao Cao's army against Guan while Lü Meng was attacking Jing Province.

In 194, when Cao Cao was away on a campaign against Tao Qian in Xu Province, his subordinates Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled and allowed Lü Bu's forces to take over Yan Province.

After abandoning Puyang, Lü Bu headed for Xu Province to seek refuge under the new governor, Liu Bei.

In 196, Lü Bu turned against Liu Bei and seized the city of Xiapi, effectively taking over governorship of Xu Province, forcing Liu Bei to move to the nearby town of Xiaopei ( 小沛 ; present-day Pei County, Anhui ).

In 199, after Cao Cao eliminated Lü Bu, Liu Bei wheedled Cao Cao to send him back to Xu Province.

Guan Ping met Xu Huang in battle, but was demoralized by Xu Huang's claim that Lü Meng had made his move and seized Jingzhou.
