Is “In the novel, Zhang Ji followed Dong Zhuo to personally guard Hulao Pass, while the selected passage from the official history records that after Dong Zhuo's defeat, he wanted to disband and return to his hometown.” true?

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chapter 5, it is written that he was brought by Dong Zhuo: 'Dong Zhuo personally led 150,000 troops, together with Li Ru, Lü Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, etc., to guard Hulao Pass.' In Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Biographies of Xun Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu, it records his later cowardice: 'When Dong Zhuo was defeated and Li Jue died, the troops were fearful. The commandants Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and others wanted to disband and secretly return to their hometowns.'
