When Zhang Yang led his army to meet Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Dong Zhao accompanied him and worshipped him as Yilang. After meeting Cao Cao in Luoyang, he suggested that Cao Cao welcome Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to Xuchang. From then on, Dong Zhao became Cao Cao's counselor.

Life of the characters
From the yuan family
When Dong Zhao was young, he was promoted as Xiaolian, and he was appointed as the head of Yingtao and the magistrate of Bairen county. Yuan Shao appointed him to join the army.
In the third year of Chuping (1922), Yuan Shao met Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao, while Li Shao, the prefect of Julu, and the officials of Junzhong thought that Gongsun Zan was powerful and wanted to belong to him. So Yuan Shao let Dong Zhao concurrently serve as the grand prefect of Julu. Yuan Shao asked, "how can you control them?" Dong Zhao replied: "I can't eliminate people's premeditation with my own small power. I want to pretend that I should agree with them, lure them to tell the truth, and then control them with temporary contingency according to the specific situation. Strategies can only be worked out on the spur of the moment, and can't be discussed in advance now. "
At that time, dozens of people, such as sun and his wife, were the main planners, who encouraged officials and the people. When Dong Zhaowen and his wife were about to be arrested, they told him that they would not be punished Dong Zhao beheaded sun and his wife immediately according to the complaint and order of the address. Dong Zhao comforted all the people in the county one by one, so they all settled down. After the event, Dong Zhao reported to Yuan Shao, who praised him very much.
When Li pan, the governor of Wei County, was killed by soldiers, Yuan Shao let Dong Zhao be the governor of Wei county. At that time, the whole county was in chaos, and the number of thieves was tens of thousands. They sent envoys to communicate with each other to trade. Dong Zhao attached great importance to this situation and found an opportunity to alienate them. When they were weak, he sent out troops to fight and defeat the thieves. Three wins in two days.
Help Cao Ying Emperor
In 193, because Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong visited Zhang Miao's army, Zhang Miao had a conflict with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao believed the slander and wanted to punish Dong Zhao. Therefore, Dong Zhao asked to meet Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and took the opportunity to leave Yuan Shao. On the way, Zhang Yang left the seal and ribbon in Hanoi, and sent them back to the imperial court through Zhang Yang. He was granted the title of riding captain.
At this time, Cao Cao led Yanzhou and wanted to go to court by way of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Zhang Yang refused at first. Dong Zhao advised: "although yuan and Cao are still in the same family, their trend will not continue for a long time. Although Cao Cao is weaker now, he is really a hero in the world. You should make friends with him intentionally. What's more, now that he has a chance, we should help him to contact the imperial court and recommend him. If this can be successful, it will always be a deep feeling. " Only then did Zhang Yang inform the court of Cao Cao's situation, and then he recommended it. Dong Zhao wrote letters for Cao Cao to the generals of Chang'an, such as Li Xi and Guo Si. According to their status, they expressed their hospitality and friendship. Zhang Yang also sent envoys to see Taizu. Cao Cao gave Zhang Yang dogs and horses gold and silk, and from then on had contacts with the western region.
In 195, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty returned to Anyi. Dong Zhao followed Zhang Yang to meet him and was worshipped as Yilang.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao pacified the Huangjin army in Xu county and sent envoys to Hedong. At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang. Han Xian, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang had different opinions. Dong Zhao wrote to Yang Feng in the name of Cao Cao because Yang Feng's troops were the strongest and he lacked external assistance, saying, "I've long been known to the general, and I admire your righteousness, so I'll meet you sincerely. Now, general, you have rescued the emperor from his difficulties, returned him to the old capital and helped him. No one can compare with you. How beautiful and good it is! Nowadays, the central plains are disturbed by a group of murders, the whole world is restless, and the emperor's court is extremely important. Our responsibility is to maintain and assist. We must rely on all the sages to rebuild the order of the dynasty, which is really not something that one person can establish alone. The heart and limbs depend on and support each other. General, you should be the main force in the capital, and I will be the external reinforcement. Now I have military provisions, and you have an army, which can help each other, share life and death, and share weal and woe. " After receiving the letter, Yang Feng was very happy and said to the generals, "Yanzhou's troops are stationed in Xu county. They have soldiers and food. The country should rely on them." So they went up to the table to recommend Taizu as Zhendong general, inherit his father's title as FeiTing Marquis, and Dong Zhao was transferred to Fu Jie Ling.
Cao Cao went to Luoyang to meet Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. He took Dong Zhao and they sat together. Cao Cao asked, "what strategies should I take when I come here now?" Dong Zhao said: "the general's uprising soldiers killed the rioters, went to Beijing to worship the emperor and assisted the royal family, which is comparable to the achievements of the five lords in the spring and Autumn period. But the generals below have different hearts and may not be willing to obey you. Now you stay here, Kuang Bi, the emperor. The situation is not good for you, so you have to transfer the saint driver to Xu county. Of course, after the exile, the imperial court just returned to the old capital, hoping to settle down in the morning. Now it's moving Shengjia again, which can't satisfy everyone. To do extraordinary things, we have to take measures that go beyond the routine. We hope that the general can plan how to do it with less advantages and less disadvantages. "
Cao Cao said, "this is exactly what I meant. But Yang Feng is very close. He's in Liang county. I heard that his team is excellent. Can he not be my hidden danger? " Dong Zhao said: "Yang Feng is short of protection and assistance, and will submit himself. Yang Feng determined everything about Zhendong and FeiTing. He also heard that he wrote a letter to order his soldiers to be restrained, which was enough to show his sincerity. We should always send messengers to send generous gifts to thank him for his kindness, so as to stabilize his mind. It is said that "the capital city is short of food. If you want to move Shengjia to Luyang for a while, Luyang is closer to Xu county, so it is easier to transport by phase, so you can not worry about serious food shortage.". Yang Feng is brave and thoughtless. He will not doubt us. When the envoys of the two sides have contacts, they will be able to determine the plan. Where can Yang Feng become a hidden danger Cao Cao said, "good." Immediately sent envoys to Yang Feng there, and then the Han Xiandi moved to Xu county. Yang Feng was dissatisfied and harassed Dingling with Han Xian. Taizu didn't respond. He secretly attacked Yang Feng's army camp in Liang County, and immediately calmed down. Yang Feng and Han Xian lost their troops and surrendered to Yuan Shu to the East.
Thanks for the tiredness
In 198, Dong Zhaosheng was appointed Yin of Henan Province. At this time, Zhang Yang was killed by Yang Chou, the commander of Zhang Yang, Xue Hong, and Miao Shang, the prefect of Hanoi, held the city and waited for Yuan Shao to rescue him. Cao Cao ordered Dong Zhao to enter the city alone and advised Xue Hong, Miao Shang and others to surrender to Cao Cao that day. Cao Cao appointed Dong Zhao as the herdsman of Jizhou.
In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to fight against Yuan Shu. Dong Zhao admonished him: "Liu Bei is brave and ambitious. 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 chezhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and declared a rebellion. Cao Cao personally denounced Liu Bei and transferred Dong Zhao to Xuzhou.
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Yuan Shao attacked Dongjun County, and Dong Zhao was appointed as the governor of Weijun County, following Cao Cao to attack Yan Liang.
In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao besieged Yecheng. Yuan Chunqing, a member of Yuan Shao's family, was the prefect of Wei county. In the city, his father Yuan Yuan lived in Yangzhou for a long time. Cao Cao sent someone to pick him up.
Dong Zhao wrote a letter to Yuan Chunqing, saying: "it is said that people who respect their parents will not leave their parents to seek benefits, benevolent people will not forget that the king will go up for favoritism, people with lofty ideals will not take advantage of the turmoil to take advantage of it, and wise people will not lead themselves to danger by strange ways. In the past, your father swam southward to Baiyue to avoid civil unrest. He didn't mean to alienate his flesh and blood relatives, so he didn't return to Wu huile. Wise people deeply understand this, and maybe only in this way can he be right. Cao Gong pitied him for sticking to his ambition, being honest and respectful, living apart from others, and having no partner, so he specially sent envoys to Jiangdong, sometimes to greet him, sometimes to accompany him, and now he is coming. Even if you are now in the safest place, following the virtuous and righteous master, occupying the same solid territory as Mount Tai and living the same life as an immortal, morally speaking, you should still turn your back on that side, face here, abandon the common people and run to your father. Moreover, in the past, when Ying Yi's father made an oath with Lu Yin Gong, the people of Lu praised it, but there was no record of his title. It can be seen that if the royal family did not appoint him, the title could not be respected, which is the purport of the spring and Autumn Annals. What's more, what you are relying on today is a place of crisis and turmoil, and what you are receiving are some false orders? If you are with those who do evil
