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, thought that Gongsun Zan was very strong and wanted 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, dozens of people, including Sun Heng of Julu County, 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 confessions of the scouts Anping and Jill Zhang of the thief army, he will attack Julu, and the former thief army Xiaolian Sun Heng and others will serve as insiders. 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 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.
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 prohibited 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.
