却说纪灵起兵(bing)长(zhang)驱大进,已到(dao)(dao)沛县(xian)东南(nan),扎下营寨(zhai)。昼(zhou)列旌旗(qi),遮(zhe)映山川;夜(ye)设(she)火鼓,震明(ming)天地。玄(xuan)德县(xian)中(zhong)(zhong),止有五千余人(ren),也只得(de)勉强出(chu)县(xian),布(bu)(bu)(bu)阵(zhen)安营。忽报吕布(bu)(bu)(bu)引兵(bing)离县(xian)一里、西南(nan)上扎下营寨(zhai)。纪灵知吕布(bu)(bu)(bu)领(ling)兵(bing)来救刘备,急令(ling)人(ren)致书(shu)于吕布(bu)(bu)(bu),责(ze)其无信。布(bu)(bu)(bu)笑曰(yue)(yue):“我有一计(ji),使袁、刘两家都不(bu)(bu)(bu)怨我。”乃发(fa)使往(wang)纪灵、刘备寨(zhai)中(zhong)(zhong),请二人(ren)饮宴。玄(xuan)德闻布(bu)(bu)(bu)相请,即便欲往(wang)。关(guan)、张曰(yue)(yue):“兄长(zhang)不(bu)(bu)(bu)可(ke)去。吕布(bu)(bu)(bu)必有异(yi)(yi)心(xin)。”玄(xuan)德曰(yue)(yue):“我待彼(bi)不(bu)(bu)(bu)薄,彼(bi)必不(bu)(bu)(bu)害(hai)我。”遂上马而行。关(guan)、张随(sui)往(wang),到(dao)(dao)吕布(bu)(bu)(bu)寨(zhai)中(zhong)(zhong),入见。布(bu)(bu)(bu)曰(yue)(yue):“吾今(jin)特解(jie)公之危。异(yi)(yi)日(ri)得(de)志,不(bu)(bu)(bu)可(ke)相忘!”玄(xuan)德称谢。布(bu)(bu)(bu)请玄(xuan)德坐(zuo)。关(guan)、张按(an)剑立于背后。人(ren)报纪灵到(dao)(dao),玄(xuan)德大惊,欲避之。布(bu)(bu)(bu)曰(yue)(yue):“吾特请你(ni)二人(ren)来会议,勿得(de)生疑(yi)。”玄(xuan)德未知其意,心(xin)下不(bu)(bu)(bu)安。

次(ci)日(ri)(ri),三处(chu)军马都散。不说(shuo)玄德入小(xiao)沛,吕布归徐州(zhou)。却(que)说(shuo)纪灵回淮南见袁术,说(shuo)吕布辕(yuan)门射(she)就(jiu)解和之(zhi)事,呈上书信。袁术大怒曰:“吕布受吾许(xu)多粮米,反以(yi)此儿戏(xi)之(zhi)事,偏护刘(liu)(liu)备(bei)(bei)。吾当(dang)自(zi)提重兵,亲(qin)征(zheng)刘(liu)(liu)备(bei)(bei),兼讨吕布!”纪灵曰:“主(zhu)公(gong)不可造次(ci)。吕布勇力过(guo)人(ren),兼有(you)徐州(zhou)之(zhi)地(di);若(ruo)布与(yu)备(bei)(bei)首尾(wei)相连,不易(yi)图也。吴闻布妻严氏有(you)一女(nv)(nv),年已及笄。主(zhu)公(gong)有(you)一子,可令人(ren)求亲(qin)于布,布若(ruo)嫁(jia)女(nv)(nv)于主(zhu)公(gong),必杀刘(liu)(liu)备(bei)(bei):此乃疏不间亲(qin)之(zhi)计也。”袁术从之(zhi),即日(ri)(ri)遣韩胤为媒,赍礼物往徐州(zhou)求亲(qin)。
胤(yin)到徐州见布(bu)(bu),称说:“主(zhu)公仰慕将军,欲(yu)求令爱为(wei)(wei)儿妇,永结(jie)秦晋之好(hao)。”布(bu)(bu)入(ru)谋于(yu)妻(qi)严(yan)氏。原(yuan)来吕(lv)布(bu)(bu)有(you)二妻(qi)一(yi)妾:先娶(qu)(qu)严(yan)氏为(wei)(wei)正(zheng)妻(qi),后娶(qu)(qu)貂蝉为(wei)(wei)妾;及居小沛时,又娶(qu)(qu)曹(cao)(cao)豹之女(nv)为(wei)(wei)次妻(qi)。曹(cao)(cao)氏先亡无出(chu),貂蝉亦无所出(chu),惟严(yan)氏生一(yi)女(nv),布(bu)(bu)最钟爱。当(dang)下严(yan)氏对布(bu)(bu)曰(yue):“吾(wu)闻袁(yuan)公路(lu)久(jiu)镇(zhen)淮南,兵多粮广(guang),早晚将为(wei)(wei)天子。若成(cheng)大(da)事(shi)(shi),则吾(wu)女(nv)有(you)后妃之望。只不知他有(you)几(ji)子?”布(bu)(bu)曰(yue):“止(zhi)有(you)一(yi)子。”妻(qi)曰(yue):“既如此,即当(dang)许之。纵不为(wei)(wei)皇(huang)后,吾(wu)徐州亦无忧矣(yi)。”布(bu)(bu)意遂决,厚款韩(han)胤(yin),许了(le)亲事(shi)(shi)。韩(han)胤(yin)回(hui)报袁(yuan)术(shu)。术(shu)即备聘礼,仍令韩(han)胤(yin)送至(zhi)徐州。吕(lv)布(bu)(bu)受了(le)、设席相待,留于(yu)馆驿安(an)歇。

分(fen)军(jun)三路而行(xing),以(yi)夏侯惇(dun)为先锋。军(jun)马至淯水下(xia)寨。贾诩(xu)劝张绣(xiu)曰:“操(cao)兵(bing)势大,不可与敌,不如(ru)(ru)举众(zhong)投降(jiang)。”张绣(xiu)从(cong)之,使贾诩(xu)至操(cao)寨通款。操(cao)见诩(xu)应对如(ru)(ru)流,甚爱(ai)之,效用为谋士。诩(xu)曰:“某(mou)昔从(cong)李(li)傕,得罪天下(xia);今从(cong)张绣(xiu),言听(ting)计从(cong),不忍弃(qi)之。”乃辞去。次日(ri)引绣(xiu)来见操(cao),操(cao)待之甚厚。引兵(bing)入(ru)宛城(cheng)屯扎,余军(jun)分(fen)屯城(cheng)外,寨栅联络十(shi)余里。一(yi)住数日(ri),绣(xiu)每日(ri)设宴请操(cao)。
一(yi)日操(cao)醉,退入寝所,私(si)问(wen)左右曰(yue)(yue):“此(ci)城中(zhong)有妓(ji)女否(fou)?”操(cao)之(zhi)(zhi)兄子(zi)曹安(an)民(min),知操(cao)意(yi),乃密对(dui)曰(yue)(yue):“昨(zuo)晚小侄(zhi)窥见馆舍(she)之(zhi)(zhi)侧,有一(yi)妇(fu)人(ren)(ren),生得十分(fen)美(mei)丽(li),问(wen)之(zhi)(zhi),即绣叔张济(ji)(ji)之(zhi)(zhi)妻(qi)也。”操(cao)闻言,便令安(an)民(min)领五十甲兵往(wang)取之(zhi)(zhi)。须臾,取到军中(zhong)。操(cao)见之(zhi)(zhi),果(guo)然(ran)美(mei)丽(li)。问(wen)其姓,妇(fu)答曰(yue)(yue):“妾乃张济(ji)(ji)之(zhi)(zhi)妻(qi)邹(zou)(zou)氏(shi)也。”操(cao)曰(yue)(yue):“夫(fu)(fu)人(ren)(ren)识(shi)吾(wu)(wu)否(fou)?”邹(zou)(zou)氏(shi)曰(yue)(yue):“久(jiu)闻丞相(xiang)威名,今(jin)夕幸得瞻拜。”操(cao)曰(yue)(yue):“吾(wu)(wu)为(wei)夫(fu)(fu)人(ren)(ren)故(gu),特纳张绣之(zhi)(zhi)降(jiang);不然(ran)灭族(zu)矣。”邹(zou)(zou)氏(shi)拜曰(yue)(yue):“实感(gan)再生之(zhi)(zhi)恩(en)。”操(cao)曰(yue)(yue):“今(jin)日得见夫(fu)(fu)人(ren)(ren),乃天幸也。今(jin)宵(xiao)愿同(tong)枕席(xi),随吾(wu)(wu)还都,安(an)享富贵,何(he)如?”邹(zou)(zou)氏(shi)拜谢。是夜,共宿于帐中(zhong)。邹(zou)(zou)氏(shi)曰(yue)(yue):“久(jiu)住城中(zhong),绣必生疑,亦恐(kong)外(wai)人(ren)(ren)议(yi)论(lun)。”操(cao)曰(yue)(yue):“明日同(tong)夫(fu)(fu)人(ren)(ren)去(qu)寨(zhai)中(zhong)住。”次日,移于城外(wai)安(an)歇,唤典韦就中(zhong)军帐房(fang)外(wai)宿卫。
他人非奉呼唤(huan),不(bu)许辄入。因此(ci),内外不(bu)通。操每日与邹氏(shi)取乐,不(bu)想归期。
张(zhang)绣(xiu)(xiu)家人(ren)(ren)密报绣(xiu)(xiu)。绣(xiu)(xiu)怒(nu)曰(yue)(yue):“操(cao)(cao)贼(zei)辱我(wo)太(tai)甚!”便请贾诩(xu)商议(yi)。诩(xu)曰(yue)(yue):“此事(shi)不(bu)(bu)可(ke)泄漏。来(lai)日等操(cao)(cao)出帐(zhang)(zhang)议(yi)事(shi),如(ru)此如(ru)此。”次日,操(cao)(cao)坐帐(zhang)(zhang)中(zhong)(zhong),张(zhang)绣(xiu)(xiu)入(ru)(ru)告曰(yue)(yue):“新降兵(bing)(bing)多有逃亡者(zhe),乞移屯(tun)中(zhong)(zhong)军(jun)。”操(cao)(cao)许之(zhi)(zhi)。绣(xiu)(xiu)乃(nai)移屯(tun)其军(jun)。分(fen)为四寨(zhai)(zhai),刻期举事(shi)。因畏典(dian)(dian)韦(wei)(wei)勇猛,急(ji)切难近(jin),乃(nai)与偏将胡车儿商议(yi)。那故(gu)车儿力(li)能负五(wu)百斤,日行七百里(li)(li),亦异人(ren)(ren)也。当下献计(ji)于绣(xiu)(xiu)曰(yue)(yue):“典(dian)(dian)韦(wei)(wei)之(zhi)(zhi)可(ke)畏者(zhe),双(shuang)铁戟耳。主公(gong)明日可(ke)请他(ta)来(lai)吃酒,使(shi)尽醉(zui)(zui)而(er)(er)归。那时某便混入(ru)(ru)他(ta)跟来(lai)军(jun)士数(shu)(shu)(shu)内,偷入(ru)(ru)帐(zhang)(zhang)房(fang),先盗其戟,此人(ren)(ren)不(bu)(bu)足畏矣。”绣(xiu)(xiu)甚喜,预先准备(bei)弓箭(jian)、甲(jia)兵(bing)(bing),告示各寨(zhai)(zhai)。至期,令(ling)贾诩(xu)致意请典(dian)(dian)韦(wei)(wei)到(dao)寨(zhai)(zhai),殷勤待酒。至晚(wan)醉(zui)(zui)归,胡车儿杂在(zai)众人(ren)(ren)队(dui)里(li)(li),直入(ru)(ru)大(da)寨(zhai)(zhai)。是(shi)夜曹(cao)操(cao)(cao)于帐(zhang)(zhang)中(zhong)(zhong)与邹氏饮酒,忽听帐(zhang)(zhang)外人(ren)(ren)言马(ma)嘶。操(cao)(cao)使(shi)人(ren)(ren)观之(zhi)(zhi)。回(hui)报是(shi)张(zhang)绣(xiu)(xiu)军(jun)夜巡,操(cao)(cao)乃(nai)不(bu)(bu)疑。时近(jin)二(er)(er)更,忽闻寨(zhai)(zhai)内呐喊,报说草车上(shang)火起(qi)。操(cao)(cao)曰(yue)(yue):“军(jun)人(ren)(ren)失火,勿得惊动。”须臾,四下里(li)(li)火起(qi)。操(cao)(cao)始着(zhe)忙,急(ji)唤典(dian)(dian)韦(wei)(wei)。韦(wei)(wei)方醉(zui)(zui)卧,睡(shui)梦(meng)中(zhong)(zhong)听得金鼓喊杀之(zhi)(zhi)声,便跳起(qi)身(shen)来(lai),却寻不(bu)(bu)见了双(shuang)戟。时敌兵(bing)(bing)已到(dao)辕门,韦(wei)(wei)急(ji)掣步卒腰刀在(zai)手。只见门首无数(shu)(shu)(shu)军(jun)马(ma),各抵长(zhang)枪,抢(qiang)入(ru)(ru)寨(zhai)(zhai)来(lai)。韦(wei)(wei)奋(fen)力(li)向前,砍死二(er)(er)十余人(ren)(ren)。马(ma)军(jun)方退,步军(jun)又到(dao),两边枪如(ru)苇列。韦(wei)(wei)身(shen)无片甲(jia),上(shang)下被数(shu)(shu)(shu)十枪,兀自死战。刀砍缺不(bu)(bu)堪(kan)用(yong),韦(wei)(wei)即(ji)弃(qi)刀,双(shuang)手提(ti)着(zhe)两个军(jun)人(ren)(ren)迎敌,击死者(zhe)八九人(ren)(ren),群贼(zei)不(bu)(bu)敢近(jin),只远远以箭(jian)射(she)之(zhi)(zhi),箭(jian)如(ru)骤雨。韦(wei)(wei)犹死拒寨(zhai)(zhai)门。争奈寨(zhai)(zhai)后贼(zei)军(jun)已入(ru)(ru),韦(wei)(wei)背上(shang)又中(zhong)(zhong)一枪,乃(nai)大(da)叫(jiao)数(shu)(shu)(shu)声,血(xue)流满地(di)而(er)(er)死。死了半晌,还无一人(ren)(ren)敢从前门而(er)(er)入(ru)(ru)者(zhe)。
却(que)说曹(cao)操赖典韦当住寨(zhai)门(men),乃(nai)得(de)(de)(de)从(cong)寨(zhai)后上马逃奔,只有曹(cao)安民(min)(min)步随。操右臂中了一(yi)箭(jian)(jian),马亦中了三箭(jian)(jian)。亏(kui)得(de)(de)(de)那马是大(da)宛良(liang)马,熬(ao)得(de)(de)(de)痛,走得(de)(de)(de)快。刚(gang)刚(gang)走到清水(shui)河边,贼(zei)兵(bing)追至,安民(min)(min)被砍为肉泥。操急骤马冲波过河,才上得(de)(de)(de)岸,贼(zei)兵(bing)一(yi)箭(jian)(jian)射来,正中马眼(yan),那马扑(pu)地倒了。
操(cao)长子曹(cao)昂(ang),即以(yi)己所乘之马(ma)奉操(cao)。操(cao)上马(ma)急(ji)奔。曹(cao)昂(ang)却被乱(luan)箭射死。操(cao)乃走脱。路逢诸将,收(shou)集残兵(bing)(bing)。时夏(xia)侯惇所领青(qing)州之兵(bing)(bing),乘势下乡(xiang),劫掠民(min)家,平虏校尉于(yu)禁(jin),即将本部军于(yu)路剿(jiao)杀,安(an)抚(fu)乡(xiang)民(min)。青(qing)州兵(bing)(bing)走回,迎操(cao)泣拜于(yu)地,言于(yu)禁(jin)造反(fan),赶杀青(qing)州军马(ma)。操(cao)大惊。
