During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei and Shu Han s Dong He struggled for power and loyalty

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

During the Three Kingdoms period, single-character names such as Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were commonplace. However, the situation of the same name and surname is inevitable, just as both Eastern Wu and Shu Han had a military general named Ma Zhong. And today's "Dong He", who we want to be the first, has also encountered such a dilemma of renaming.

During the Cao Wei period, Dong He began to follow Cao Cao, but he was not reused. In 214 AD, Dong He became the commander of Zhu Guang, the Taishou of Lujiang, and his geographical location involved him in the war between Cao Wei and Eastern Wu. Sun Quan led his army to attack the city of Anhui and captured Zhu Guang and Dong He. In order to avoid a two-front battle, Sun Quan sent the captives back to Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei, after killing Guan Yu. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Dong He became Cao Ju's assistant, but due to Cao Ju's decision-making, Dong He fell into an unknown whereabouts.

Shu Han Donghe was from Jingzhou, was appointed by Liu Zhang, and became the Taishou of Yizhou. Due to Dong He's frugal style, he changed the local luxury atmosphere and was appreciated by Liu Bei. In 214 AD, Liu Bei captured Yizhou, and Dong He became his left general, Zhonglang General, and jointly managed affairs with Zhuge Liang. The two formed a deep friendship and made many meritorious contributions to Shu Han. After Dong He's death, Zhuge Liang once took him as a model, saying that if everyone was like Dong He, the country would be at fault.

Dong He's son, Dong Yun, is equally outstanding. After Liu Bei became emperor, in order to ensure that Liu Chan could succeed to the throne, Liu Bei hired Dong Yun and other talents. Dong Yun became the deputy of the general Fei Yi after the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and eventually died in 246 AD. Because of his talents and contributions, Dong Yun and Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi are known as the four phases of Shu and Han.
