Dong Xi
}}
Dong Xi (died 217),〔 courtesy name Yuanshi, was a military general serving under the warlords Sun Ce and Sun Quan in the late Eastern Han dynasty.
==Service under Sun Ce==
Dong Xi was from Yuyao County (餘姚縣), Kuaiji Commandery, which is in present-day Yuyao, Ningbo, in Zhejiang. He was eight ''chi'' tall (approximately 184-190 cm) and was described to be ambitious, generous and highly skilled in combat.〔(董襲字元代，會稽餘姚人，長八尺，武力過人。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕〔(謝承後漢書稱襲志節慷慨，武毅猛烈。) Xie Cheng's ''Hou Han Shu'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕 In 196, after Sun Ce occupied Kuaiji during his conquests in the Jiangdong region, Dong Xi welcomed him at Gaoqian Village (高遷亭). Sun Ce was impressed with Dong Xi at first sight and recruited the latter to serve him. Dong Xi became a Chief Constable (賊曹) under Sun Ce. At the time, the bandits Huang Longluo (黃龍羅) and Zhou Bo (周勃) had gathered thousands of followers in Shanyin (山陰; in present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Sun Ce led his army to attack the bandits. Dong Xi participated in the campaign and he personally slew the two bandit chiefs in the midst of battle. For his achievements, he was promoted to "Major of Separate Command" (別部司馬), placed in charge of thousands of troops, and appointed as "Commandant Who Spreads Martial Might" (揚武都尉). He also joined Sun Ce in the campaigns against Liu Xun at Xunyang (尋陽) and Huang Zu at Jiangxia (江夏; around present-day Yunmeng County, Xiaogan, Hubei).〔(孫策入郡，襲迎於高遷亭，策見而偉之，到署門下賊曹。時山陰宿賊黃龍羅、周勃聚黨數千人，策自出討，襲身斬羅、勃首，還拜別部司馬，授兵數千，遷揚武都尉。從策攻皖，又討劉勳於尋陽，伐黃祖於江夏。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕
After Sun Ce was assassinated in 200 CE, Lady Wu (the mother of Sun Ce and Sun Quan) was worried that Sun Quan, who had succeeded his elder brother, would be too young to handle the precarious situation in Jiangdong. She consulted Dong Xi about her incertitude, and Dong emboldened her by saying, "The lands in Jiangdong enjoy natural barriers from mountains and rivers, while the good government and virtue of Sun Ce have already won the hearts of the people. The young lord can build on these foundations so that everyone can follow his commands. Zhang Zhao can take charge of internal affairs, while others like me can serve as 'claws and teeth' (a euphemism for military servicemen). With both geographical advantage and popular support, there is certainly nothing to worry about." His sanguine speech was applauded by many.〔(策薨，權年少，初統事，太妃憂之，引見張昭及襲等，問江東可保安不，襲對曰：「江東地勢有山川之固，而討逆明府恩德在民。討虜承基，大小用命，張昭秉衆事，襲等為爪牙，此地利人和之時也，萬無所憂。」衆皆壯其言。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕
