董义 / 董翳 / Dong Yi (Qin)
董义 / 董翳 / Dong Yi enters the wiki through Qinji 129-3 as one of the Qin figures 胡亥 / 秦二世 sends to assist 章邯 against the rebels. The supplied Qinji 129-3 transcript writes the name as 董义; Hanji 139 uses 董翳. This page keeps both source forms on one canonical page rather than splitting the person.
Like 司马欣, Dong Yi is not developed as an independent decision-maker in this episode. He matters because his appointment shows Qin adding named support around Zhang Han while 陈胜 and 张楚政权 are running out of reliable forces near Chen County.
Hanji 139 gives Dong Yi / 董翳 a post-surrender endpoint. When 项羽 decides to kill the surrendered Qin soldiers at 新安坑降, Dong Yi is named with 章邯 and Sima Xin as one of the senior surrendered Qin figures spared from the massacre.
Hanji 143 gives Dong Yi / 董翳 his settlement title. Because he had persuaded 章邯 to surrender, 项羽 makes him Di king over the Shang commandery area. He therefore joins Zhang Han and 司马欣 in 三秦压制, converting a surrendered Qin official into a territorial blocker against 刘邦.
Hanji 147 uses Dong Yi / 董翳 as part of the same unstable Three Qin layer. In 韩信’s 汉中对, the issue is not Dong Yi’s individual policy but the collective reputation of Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi among Qin people after years of losses and 新安坑降. His Di kingship therefore marks containment by title without secure local support.
Hanji 148-1 completes that weak-title arc. After 章邯 is beaten at 陈仓 and Haozhi, Dong Yi / 董翳 surrenders together with 司马欣, showing that the Three Qin arrangement cannot survive once Zhang Han’s field defense collapses.
Hanji 152 part 2 shows the next turn after 彭城之战. Dong Yi / 董翳 and Sima Xin again leave Liu Bang’s side and submit to 项羽, making the earlier surrender look like a power-contingent choice rather than a settled allegiance.
