When Dong Zhao was young, he was promoted to Xiaolian and became the director of Tao Yong and the county magistrate of Bairen County. Yuan Shao appointed him to join the army. In the third year of Chuping (192), Yuan Shao confronted Gongsun Zan at the border bridge; Shao Li, the satrap of Julu, and Huan, the breeder in the county, both think that Gongsun Zan is very strong and want him. So Yuan Shao asked Dong Zhao to be the giant deer satrap. Yuan Shao asked, "How do you control them?" Dong Zhao replied: "I can't destroy everyone's premeditation on my own." I want to pretend according to the contract, lure them to tell the truth, and then temporarily control them according to the specific situation. " The plan can only be thought of temporarily, and it is impossible to talk about it in advance now. "At that time, Sun Heng of Julu County and other dozens of people were the main planners, encouraging officials and people. When Dong Zhao arrived in the county seat, he forged an obituary of Yuan Shao and told the county: "After getting the confession of Jill Zhang, a spy of the thief army from Anping, they are going to attack Julu, and Sun Heng, a former thief army, and others should be inside. When this obituary reached the county, it was to arrest Sun Heng and others, engage in military law, and only punish them, and his wife and children did not sit together. " Dong Zhao immediately beheaded Sun Heng and others in accordance with the charges and orders. Everyone in the county was frightened and panicked, and Dong Zhao comforted them one by one, so they all settled down. After the incident, Dong Zhao reported to Yuan Shao, who appreciated it very much. Li Pan, the satrap of Wei County, was killed by soldiers, and Yuan Shao asked Dong Zhao to be the satrap of Wei County. At that time, the county was in chaos and there were tens of thousands of thieves. They sent messengers to exchange business with each other. Dong Zhao attached great importance to this situation, looking for opportunities to alienate them, and when they were weak, he sent his troops to conquer, and the thieves and soldiers were defeated. Three good news in two days.

In the first year of Xingping (194), because Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong visited Zhang Miao's army, Zhang Miao had a conflict with Yuan Shao, who listened to rumors and wanted to punish Dong Zhao. Therefore, Dong Zhao asked to find Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and took the opportunity to leave Yuan Shao. On the way, he was left in Hanoi by Zhang Yang, and returned the seal and ribbon to the court through JASON ZHANG, and was awarded the title of riding a captain. At this time, Cao Cao ordered Yanzhou to go to the court to see Emperor Han Xian. At first, JASON ZHANG refused. Dong Zhao advised, "Yuan and Cao are a family, but they don't last long. Although Cao Cao is weak now, he is really a hero in the world. You should be interested in making friends with him. Besides, now there is an opportunity to help him contact the court and recommend him to the table; If this thing can be successful, it will always be a deep affection. " JASON ZHANG informed the court of Cao Cao's situation and recommended the above table. Dong Zhao also wrote letters to Chang 'an generals for Cao Cao, such as Li Jue and Guo Si, expressing hospitality and friendship according to their status. JASON ZHANG also sent envoys to see Mao. Cao Cao gave Ma Jinbo a dog from JASON ZHANG, and from then on he had contacts with the Western Regions. In the second year of Xingping (195), Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty returned to the east and arrived in Anyi. Dong Zhao went to meet him with JASON ZHANG and was worshipped as a negotiator. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), Cao Cao pacified the Yellow Scarf Army in Xu County and sent envoys to Hedong. At this time, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang, and Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was at odds with Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and JASON ZHANG. Dong Zhao, who was short of foreign aid because of the strongest military forces in Yang Feng, wrote to Yang Feng in the name of Cao Cao, saying, "I have been a general for a long time and admire your benevolence and righteousness, so I have confided in you. Now, general, you saved the son of heaven from danger, returned the old capital, and assisted the son of heaven. No one can compare with you in today's times. How beautiful! Now those murderers disturb the Central Plains, and the four seas are restless. The emperor's court is supreme, and our responsibility lies in maintaining and assisting; To rebuild the order of the dynasty, we must rely on many wise men, and it really can't be established by one person. The heart and limbs are interdependent, mutually supportive and indispensable. General, you are the main force in the capital, and I am the peripheral reinforcements. Now that I have food rations and you have an army, all you need is to help each other, share life and death, and share weal and woe. " Yang Feng was very happy after receiving the letter, and said to the generals, "Yanzhou army is stationed in Xu County, and it is just around the corner. They have soldiers and food, and the country should rely on them. " So everyone elected Mao as the general of the town east, inherited his father's title as a fee, and Dong Zhao was transferred to the festival. Cao Cao went to Luoyang to appear before Emperor Han Xian and took Dong Zhao with him. They sat together. Cao Cao asked, "What plan should I take when I come here now?" Dong Zhao said, "The general rebelled and made trouble, and went to Beijing to worship the emperor and assist the royal family. This is comparable to the achievements of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. But the general below, with a heart in mind, may not be willing to obey you. Since you stay here, the situation is not good for you, so you must transfer the Sheng family to Xu County. Of course, the imperial court has just returned from exile and returned to the old capital, hoping that no matter how far or near, it will settle down in one morning. Now, once again, the migration of the holy driving can't satisfy everyone. If you want to do something extraordinary, you have to do something extraordinary. I hope that the general can plan how to do more advantages and less disadvantages. " Cao Cao said, "This is exactly my intention. But Yang Feng is very close, in Liang County. I heard that his team is excellent. Can he not pose a hidden danger to me? " Dong Zhao said: "Yang Feng lacks protective assistance and will submit to it alone. Town east, FeiTing things, are decided by Yang Feng, and heard that he wrote a command to restrain his soldiers, enough to see his honest heart. We should always send a legacy messenger with generous gifts to thank him for his kindness, so as to stabilize his mind. He said,' Beijing is short of food, and I want to temporarily move Shengjia to Luyang, which is closer to Xu County, so that it is more convenient to transport on the way and can avoid the worry of serious food shortage'. Yang Feng is brave and thoughtless, so he won't doubt us. When the envoys of the two sides have contact, it will be enough to determine the plan. Feng became a hidden danger there! " Cao Cao said, "Good." Immediately sent messengers to see Yang Feng, and then moved Emperor Xian of Han to Xu County. Yang Feng, Han Xian Dingling looting harassment. Mao refused to respond, secretly attacked Yang Feng's Liangxian military camp, and immediately put it down. Yang Feng and Han Xianbing were defeated and surrendered to Yuan Shu for eastward advancement.

In the third year of Jian 'an (198), Dong Zhao was promoted to Henan Yin. At this time, JASON ZHANG was killed by Yang Chou of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hong Xue, the commander-in-chief of JASON ZHANG, and Miao Shangjian, the satrap of Hanoi, were guarding the city, waiting only for Yuan Shao to save them. Cao Cao ordered Dong Zhao to enter the city alone, and persuaded Hong Xue, Miao Shang and others to lead the people to surrender to Cao Cao on the same day. Cao Cao appointed Dong Zhao as Jizhou Pastoral. In the fourth year of Jian 'an (199), Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to conquer Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhao advised him: "Liu Bei is brave and ambitious, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are his assistants. I'm afraid Liu Bei's mind is really hard to say! " Cao Cao said, "I have promised him." Liu Bei went to Xiapi, killed Che Zhou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, and declared rebellion. Cao Cao personally conquered Liu Bei and transferred Dong Zhao to Xuzhou as a shepherd. In the fifth year of Jian 'an (200 years), Yuan Shao attacked Yan Liang and went to Dong Jun. Dong Zhao was appointed as the satrap and followed Cao Cao to pacify Yan Liang. In the ninth year of Jian 'an (204), Cao Cao invaded and besieged Yecheng. Yuan Chunqing, a relative of Yuan Shao, is the magistrate of Wei County. He's in town. His father Yuan Yuanchang lives in Yangzhou, and Cao Cao sent someone to meet him. Dong Zhao wrote a letter to Yuan, saying, "I heard that people who honor their parents will not leave their parents to seek benefits. Kind people will never forget that you are selfish. People with lofty ideals do not take advantage of chaos to take advantage of it. Smart people don't do strange things and don't bring danger to themselves. At that time, your father traveled hundreds of miles south to avoid domestic unrest, but he had no intention of alienating his flesh and blood relatives. He will be happy in Wu, and smart people have a deep understanding of this. Maybe this is the only right thing to do. Zuo Zongtang pitied him for sticking to his ambition, being loyal and respectful, and living alone without company, so he specially sent an envoy to Jiangdong, sometimes to greet him and sometimes to accompany him, and now he will arrive soon. Even if you are now in the safest place, obeying a virtuous and righteous master, occupying a site as solid as Mount Tai and living like a fairy, morally speaking, you should abandon there, face here, abandon the people and run to your father. Moreover, my father and I swore an oath before, and Lu people praised him, but they didn't remember his title. It can be seen that if the royal family did not appoint him, the title could not be realized, which is the significance of Spring and Autumn Annals. What's more, you rely on a dangerous and turbulent place today, and you are still receiving some fake orders? If you associate with evil people, but you don't sympathize with your father, then you can't talk about filial piety. Forgetting the dynasty in which our ancestors lived and settling in an unorthodox and treacherous position, it is really hard to say that loyalty and filial piety have been abandoned, let alone wise. Besides, in the past, Zuo Gong respectfully recruited him, but now he is close to the people and alienated his biological father. It takes food as the inside and the royal family as the outside. Unfortunately, it betrayed its bosom friend because of its obsession with improper interests. Instead of pursuing happiness, it approached danger, gave up justice and loyalty, and accepted great shame. If you can repent and turn over a new leaf, change your position, serve the son of heaven, care for your father, and commit yourself to Cao Gong, then you will be loyal and filial, and your glorious name will be famous all over the world. You should pay attention to the discussion and decide an appropriate plan as soon as possible. " After conquering Yecheng, Dong Zhao was appointed as an admonition officer. In the twelfth year of Jian 'an (2007), Cao Cao made an expedition to Wuhuan, and it was difficult to transport grain. At Dong Zhao's suggestion, the second canal of Pinglu and Quanzhou was dug to enter Haitong for transportation, which solved the problem of grain transportation. Cao Cao named Dong Zhao the Millennium Pavilion and turned to the Air Force to offer wine. Later, Dong Zhao suggested: "We should explore the ancient system and establish a fifth-class title." Cao Cao said: "Those who build the five ranks are saints, and it is beyond my power to make them. How can I afford it? " Dong Zhao said: "Since ancient times, ministers have assisted the world, and no one has achieved what you have achieved today. Even with your achievements, no one has lived in the position of a courtier for long. At present, you are ashamed of your shortcomings in virtue. You are not perfect. You are willing to maintain your reputation and integrity, and you have no greater responsibility. The goodness of virtue has surpassed Yi Yin and Duke Zhou, and reached the state of perfection and beauty. However, monarchs like Tai Jia and Zhou Chengwang may never see each other again. Nowadays, people are more difficult to educate, even more difficult than in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. Being a minister, you really have to make others doubt yourself on major issues. Gong Ming, although your prestige and virtue have surpassed those of the previous generation, and you are deeply aware of your statutes, if you can't lay a good foundation at this time and consider for future generations, you still haven't gone home. The foundation lies in the land and people, and it should be gradually established in these two aspects for self-protection and protection. Gong Ming's loyal moral integrity has appeared, and the dignity of the son of heaven has also appeared on his face. When Geng Yan said to Emperor Guangwu under the bed,' The weight of the world is beyond the reach of people with their surnames', he said to Chun,' In an unpredictable era, how can unpredictable people serve the unpredictable Lord?' But you can't hear me. Dong Zhao, I owe you an extraordinary favor, so I dare not tell you the truth. "Later, Cao Cao finally accepted the titles of Gong Wei and Wang Wei, all because of Dong Zhao's suggestion. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an (2 19), Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng, and Sun Quan sent messengers to tell Cao Cao, "I will send troops to attack and seize the territory west of Guan Yu. Jiangling and Gongan counties are very important. If Guan Yu loses these two cities, he will certainly flee automatically, and the siege of Fancheng will be lifted by himself, even though he did not rescue them directly. Please keep the secret of this plan, and don't let it out, so that the customs can be prepared. "Cao Cao asked his ministers what they thought of Sun Quan's request, and they all said to keep it a secret. Dong Zhao said: "The military pays attention to contingency and demands timeliness. On the surface, it should be a promise to Sun Quan to keep secrets for him, but in fact it should be a leak. Guan Yu heard that Sun Quan had sent troops to the West. If he withdraws his troops to protect himself, the siege of Fancheng will be lifted soon, and we can easily gain benefits. We can also let two thieves, Sun Quan and Guan Yu, attack each other like two horses, and we will wait for them to get tired. If we keep it a secret and let Sun Quan's plan come true, it's not the best policy. In addition, if the generals in the besieged city don't know that there are reinforcements outside and think that food is getting less and less, they will have fear. If they have other ideas, the danger will not be small, so it is good for us to disclose the news. Moreover, Guan Yu is a violent person. Relying on Jiangling and the public security, he will definitely not retreat immediately. " Cao Cao said, "Very good. Then he ordered Huang Xu, the general of Coss, to shoot Sun Quan's letters into the city and into Guan Yu's barracks. When people in the besieged city learned the news, their morale doubled. Guan Yu hesitated. When Sun Quan's army arrived in Jiangling and Gongan and got Guan Yu's two cities, Guan Yu was defeated.

In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Cao died, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and Dong Zhao was appointed master. In the same year, Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, and Dong Zhao was promoted to be a great hero, ranking Jiuqing, and was appointed as a native of Youxiang. In the second year (22 1), Dong Zhao was promoted to an auxiliary middle school, and he was appointed as the Hou of Shanhaiguan Pass to visit his younger brother Dong. In the year of Huang San (222), Cao Xiu, the general of the Eastern Expedition, confronted the defenders of the Yangtze River at Dongpukou. I recommend myself in the above table: "I am willing to lead elite troops to pounce on Jiangnan, adding wings to the tiger, defeating the enemy and gaining wealth. This matter is bound to win; If I die at the hands of the enemy, I don't worry. " Worried that Cao Xiuma was crossing the river, Cao Pi sent a post horse to order him to stop. At this time, Dong Zhao was waiting by and remonstrated and said, "Is it just because Cao Xiu wants to cross the river that I secretly saw a worried expression on your face? Now, from the perspective of human nature, people think it is very difficult to cross the river. Even if Cao Xiu has this desire, judging from the situation, he can't do it alone, and he should also have the cooperation of various generals. However, Cang Ba and others have both wealth and dignity, and have no other wishes. They just want to live a stable and prosperous life without losing their wealth. How can they commit themselves to death in a dangerous moment in order to seek a lucky success? If Cang Ba and others don't move forward, Cao Xiu will naturally stagnate in frustration. I'm afraid that even if your majesty has an imperial decree ordering you to cross the river, he may hesitate and not necessarily obey the order! " Soon, the storm blew Wu Jun's ships to the barracks of Cao Xiu and others, some were beheaded by Cao Jun, some were captured, and Wu Jun immediately fled. Cao Pi issued a letter and ordered the whole army to cross the river quickly. Before the troops could March, the ship rescued by Sun Wu arrived. Xelloss went to Nanyang County, Wancheng, and failed to recruit Xia Houshang and others from the south to attack Jiangling. At that time, the Yangtze River was shallow and the river was narrow. Xia Houshang wants to take a boat to lead the infantry and cavalry into the land in the river and build a pontoon bridge, so that the north and south of the bridge can communicate. Most people think that this will definitely conquer Jiangling City. Dong Zhao Shangshu said: "Emperor Wu is smarter and braver than ordinary people. He uses his troops more than the enemy, and he dare not underestimate the enemy so much. Now the troops are stationed in Zhouzhu, which is already deep; It is very dangerous to cross the water through the pontoon bridge; Driving from only one road is very narrow. These three situations are taboo for military strategists, but they have all come true now. If thieves frequently attack the pontoon bridge and our defense is a little negligent, then Zhou's elite troops will no longer belong to Wei, but will be transformed into Wu. I am privately worried about this situation, forgetting to eat and sleep, while people who consider this matter are complacent and not worried. Is it too confusing? Besides, the river has been rising. Once the river surges, what will be used to defend it? If you can't break the thief, you're finished first. Why rely on dangerous terrain, but not afraid? Things will be dangerous. I hope your majesty will examine these situations! " Xelloss understood Dong Zhao's words and immediately ordered Xia Houshang and others to retreat quickly. Wu Jun went forward in two ways, while Wei Juncheng retreated all the way and did not break up from time to time. Generals are only protected from stone masonry and high relocation. Ten days after Wei Jun retreated, the river surged. Cao Pi praised Dong Zhao as knowledgeable as Sean and Chen Ping. In the fifth year of Huang Chu (224), Dong Zhao was renamed as the township head of Chengdu, and worshipped Taichang. In the same year, Dong Zhao was appointed as Dr. Guanglu, in charge of things and following Cao Pi's eastward expedition.

In the seventh year of Huang Chu (226), Dong Zhao returned to the DPRK to worship the teacher. In the same year, Cao Cao succeeded to the throne, Dong Fengle Pinghou, and a thousand households in the food city became Wei. In the fourth year of Taihe (230), Dong Zhao began to represent Stuart. In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Dong Zhao was officially appointed as Situ and Dong Zhaoshu, stating the shortcomings of the last stream, saying: "All those who occupy the world admire sincere, simple and faithful people and hate hypocritical people. Examples in recent years: Wei Yan was executed at the end of Jian 'an and Cao Wei was beheaded at the beginning of Huang Chu. I respectfully noticed the imperial edicts issued before and after the Sagrada Familia, and I hate flashy hypocrisy. I often use gnashing words to break this unfair group. However, those law enforcement officers are afraid of the power of those people, and no one can expose and correct them, which makes corruption and infringement of customs more and more serious. I see that today's teenagers no longer regard knowledge as the foundation of being a man, but make friends everywhere as their profession; Excellent people in junior high school don't take filial piety and incorruptible cultivation as the first priority, and even pursue power and profit as the first priority. Their groups are intertwined, forming a group, touting and admiring each other, punishing and humiliating with slander and belittling, and rewarding with praise. Whoever attaches to them, they admire him, and whoever does not attach to them becomes a shortcoming and a sin. It is said that some people let the secretary of the house slave and his family members with positions use his name to enter and leave the restricted area of the government, exchange letters and documents, and be questioned by detectives. These are not allowed by national laws and cannot be pardoned by punishment. Even Wei's satire on Cao Wei's crimes will not exceed these. " Cao Cao then issued a stern imperial edict, reprimanding and dismissing Zhuge Dan, Deng Kui and others. On May 13th (July 4th) in the fourth year of Qinglong (236), Dong Zhao died at the age of 8 1, and died a natural death.
