Dong Jue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dong Jue (董厥; 204 – ?), courtesy name Gongxi (龔襲), was a court official and general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He is the descendant of one of the founding statesment of the Eastern Han dynasty, Dong Yu.

Along with Fan Jian, he served as a secretary under Zhuge Liang during Zhuge Liang's Southern Campaign and Northern Expeditions, and attained the rank of "General Who Upholds the State" and "Marquis of Nanzhang".

Dong Jue subsequently assisted Jiang Wei in the defense of Jian'ge, and attempted to counsel Liu Shan along with Zhuge Zhan and Fan Jian, though he was unable to mitigate the influence of Huang Hao, and was ultimately relegated to record keeping. Dong Jue served the Jin Dynasty after the collapse of Shu, where he tended after the former citizens of Shu.
