《后汉书·列传·董卓列传》
后来回家种地，众头领有来投奔他的，董卓为他们宰杀耕牛，和他们一块饮宴作乐，头领们感谢他的情意，回去后收罗到各类牲畜干余头来赠送他，从此他以勇健侠气知名。
后归耕于野，诸豪帅有来从之者，卓为杀耕牛，与共宴乐，豪帅感其意，归相敛得杂畜千余头以遗之，由是以健侠知名。
Later, he returned home to farm. When the leaders came to join him, Dong Zhuo killed the farm cattle and feasted with them. The leaders were grateful for his kindness and went back to collect more than a thousand livestock to give to him. From then on, he became known for his bravery and chivalry.
