↑ The Sanguozhi recorded that Dong Xi drowned when his ship sank due to a storm during a battle against Cao Cao's forces at Ruxu. There were more than one battle fought at Ruxu between Sun Quan and Cao Cao during that period. Dong Xi's biography did not state the year in which he died, and lacked details on the battle, so it cannot be accurately determined which Battle of Ruxu he died in.^[1] Rafe de Crespigny estimated in his A biographical dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23–220 AD) that Dong Xi died in 217.^[2]
