Niu Fu , who was a general serving underDong Zhuo . After the death of his Lord, Guo Si occupied the capital ofChang'an with other former Dong Zhuo generals,Fan Chou andLi Jue , on the advice ofJia Xu . The three generals were a powerful force even defeating the mightyLü Bu in the process, with the three generals dividing the city between them. Guo Si and Li Jue wanted to kill the young Emperor Xian but Fan Chou andZhang Ji put them off, eventually deciding to control the Emperor, as Dong Zhuo had done before them. The alliance between the four generals began to wear thin and Fan Chou was executed by Li Jue for lettingHan Sui (Fan Chou's childhood friend) escape.Later
Yang Biao , a court official loyal to Han, came up with a plan to drive Guo Si and Li Jue apart, by making Guo Si's jealous wifeLady Qiong believe that her husband was having an affair with Li Jue's wife, and that Li Jue would kill Guo Si. She made Guo Si believe this himself by poisoning food that Li Jue had given to them and feeding it to the dog. When thedog died, Guo Si believed that Li Jue was attempting to poison him. This drove Guo Si and Li Jue to battle with each other. The situation ended up with Li Jue kidnapping the Emperor and Guo Si kidnapping theImperial court .After Li Jue and Guo Si made peace, the Emperor was rescued by
Yang Feng , who, along withDong Cheng andXu Huang defeated the army of Guo Si, who returned to Li Jue to make a last-ditch effort to recapture the Emperor. Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated by the combined forces of Yang Feng and theWhite Wave Rebels , and then finally defeated byCao Cao , who became the next general to seize control of the Emperor as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si had done before him. Li Jue and Guo Si ran off into the mountains and became bandits.Guo Si was eventually slain by his own officer
