细作探知虚实,报至官(guan)渡(du)。曹(cao)军(jun)新(xin)到,闻(wen)之皆惧。曹(cao)操与众(zhong)谋士(shi)(shi)商议。荀(xun)攸(you)曰(yue):“绍军(jun)虽多,不(bu)足惧也。我军(jun)俱(ju)精锐之士(shi)(shi),无不(bu)一以(yi)当十。但利在急战。若(ruo)迁延日月,粮(liang)草不(bu)敷,事可(ke)忧(you)矣。”操曰(yue):“所言正(zheng)合(he)吾意(yi)。”遂传令军(jun)将鼓噪而进。绍军(jun)来迎,两边排成阵势。
审配拨弩(nu)手一万,伏(fu)于(yu)两翼;弓箭手五(wu)千(qian),伏(fu)于(yu)门(men)旗内:约炮(pao)响齐发。三通鼓罢,袁(yuan)绍金(jin)盔金(jin)甲,锦袍玉带,立(li)马(ma)阵前(qian)。左右排列着(zhe)张(zhang)郃、高览(lan)、韩猛、淳于(yu)琼等诸将。旌(jing)旗节钺(yue),甚是(shi)严(yan)整。曹(cao)(cao)阵上门(men)旗开(kai)处,曹(cao)(cao)操出马(ma)。许诸、张(zhang)辽(liao)、徐晃(huang)、李典等,各持兵(bing)器,前(qian)后(hou)拥卫(wei)。
曹(cao)(cao)(cao)操(cao)以鞭(bian)指袁(yuan)绍(shao)(shao)曰:“吾(wu)于(yu)(yu)天(tian)(tian)子之前(qian),保奏(zou)你为(wei)大将军(jun)(jun),今(jin)何故谋(mou)反?”绍(shao)(shao)怒曰:“汝托名汉相,实为(wei)汉贼(zei)!罪恶弥天(tian)(tian),甚于(yu)(yu)莽、卓(zhuo),乃反诬人造反耶!”操(cao)曰:“吾(wu)今(jin)奉诏讨汝!”绍(shao)(shao)曰:“吾(wu)奉衣(yi)带诏讨贼(zei)!”操(cao)怒,使(shi)张(zhang)(zhang)辽出战。张(zhang)(zhang)邰跃马来(lai)迎。二将斗了(le)四五十合(he),不分胜负(fu)。曹(cao)(cao)(cao)操(cao)见了(le),暗暗称奇。许褚挥刀纵马,直出助战。高览挺枪(qiang)接住(zhu)。四员将捉对(dui)儿厮杀。曹(cao)(cao)(cao)操(cao)令夏(xia)侯惇、曹(cao)(cao)(cao)洪,各(ge)(ge)引三(san)千军(jun)(jun),齐冲彼(bi)阵(zhen)(zhen)。审配见曹(cao)(cao)(cao)军(jun)(jun)来(lai)冲阵(zhen)(zhen),便令放(fang)起(qi)号炮:两下(xia)万弩并发,中军(jun)(jun)内(nei)(nei)弓箭手(shou)一齐拥出阵(zhen)(zhen)前(qian)乱射(she)。曹(cao)(cao)(cao)军(jun)(jun)如何抵(di)敌,望南急走。袁(yuan)绍(shao)(shao)驱兵掩杀,曹(cao)(cao)(cao)军(jun)(jun)大败,尽退至官(guan)(guan)(guan)渡(du)。袁(yuan)绍(shao)(shao)移军(jun)(jun)逼近(jin)官(guan)(guan)(guan)渡(du)下(xia)寨(zhai)。审配曰:“今(jin)可拨兵十万守(shou)官(guan)(guan)(guan)渡(du),就曹(cao)(cao)(cao)操(cao)寨(zhai)前(qian)筑(zhu)(zhu)起(qi)土(tu)(tu)山(shan),令军(jun)(jun)人下(xia)视寨(zhai)中放(fang)箭。操(cao)若弃此而去,吾(wu)得此隘口,许昌可破(po)矣。”绍(shao)(shao)从(cong)之,于(yu)(yu)各(ge)(ge)寨(zhai)内(nei)(nei)选精壮军(jun)(jun)人,用铁(tie)锹(qiao)土(tu)(tu)担,齐来(lai)曹(cao)(cao)(cao)操(cao)寨(zhai)边,垒(lei)土(tu)(tu)成山(shan)。曹(cao)(cao)(cao)营内(nei)(nei)见袁(yuan)军(jun)(jun)堆(dui)筑(zhu)(zhu)土(tu)(tu)山(shan),欲(yu)待出去冲突,被(bei)审配弓弩手(shou)当(dang)住(zhu)咽喉(hou)要路,不能前(qian)进。十日之内(nei)(nei),筑(zhu)(zhu)成土(tu)(tu)山(shan)五十余座,上(shang)立高橹,分拨弓弩手(shou)于(yu)(yu)其(qi)上(shang)射(she)箭。曹(cao)(cao)(cao)军(jun)(jun)大惧,皆顶着遮箭牌(pai)守(shou)御。土(tu)(tu)山(shan)上(shang)一声梆(bang)子响处,箭下(xia)如雨(yu)。曹(cao)(cao)(cao)军(jun)(jun)皆蒙(meng)楯伏地(di),袁(yuan)军(jun)(jun)呐喊而笑。
曹(cao)操(cao)(cao)(cao)见(jian)军慌乱,集众谋(mou)士问计。刘(liu)晔(ye)进曰(yue):“可作(zuo)发(fa)石车以(yi)破之。”操(cao)(cao)(cao)令晔(ye)进车式,连夜造(zao)发(fa)石车数百乘(cheng),分布营(ying)墙内,正(zheng)对着土(tu)山上云(yun)梯。候(hou)弓箭手射箭时,营(ying)内一齐拽(zhuai)动石车,炮石飞空,往上乱打。人无躲处,弓箭手死者(zhe)无数。袁军皆号(hao)其车为(wei)(wei)“霹雳车”。由是(shi)袁军不(bu)敢(gan)登高射箭。审配又献一计:令军人用铁锹(qiao)暗打地道(dao),直(zhi)透(tou)曹(cao)营(ying)内,号(hao)为(wei)(wei)“掘(jue)(jue)(jue)(jue)子军”。曹(cao)兵望(wang)见(jian)袁军于(yu)山后掘(jue)(jue)(jue)(jue)土(tu)坑(keng),报知曹(cao)操(cao)(cao)(cao)。操(cao)(cao)(cao)又问计于(yu)刘(liu)晔(ye)。晔(ye)曰(yue):“此(ci)袁军不(bu)能(neng)攻明而攻暗,发(fa)掘(jue)(jue)(jue)(jue)伏(fu)道(dao),欲(yu)从地下透(tou)营(ying)而入(ru)耳。”操(cao)(cao)(cao)曰(yue):“何(he)以(yi)御(yu)之?”晔(ye)曰(yue):“可绕营(ying)掘(jue)(jue)(jue)(jue)长堑(qian)(qian),则彼(bi)伏(fu)道(dao)无用也。”操(cao)(cao)(cao)连夜差军掘(jue)(jue)(jue)(jue)堑(qian)(qian)。袁军掘(jue)(jue)(jue)(jue)伏(fu)道(dao)到堑(qian)(qian)边(bian),果不(bu)能(neng)入(ru),空费(fei)军力。
却说(shuo)曹(cao)操(cao)守官渡,自八(ba)月(yue)起(qi),至(zhi)(zhi)九月(yue)终,军(jun)(jun)力渐乏,粮草不继。意欲(yu)弃官渡退(tui)回许昌,迟疑未决(jue)(jue),乃作书遣人赴许昌问荀彧。彧以书报之(zhi)(zhi)。书略曰:“承尊命,使决(jue)(jue)进(jin)退(tui)之(zhi)(zhi)疑。愚以袁绍悉众聚于官渡,欲(yu)与(yu)明公(gong)(gong)决(jue)(jue)胜负(fu),公(gong)(gong)以至(zhi)(zhi)弱(ruo)当至(zhi)(zhi)强,若不能(neng)制,必为所乘:是(shi)天下之(zhi)(zhi)大机也。绍军(jun)(jun)虽(sui)(sui)众,而不能(neng)用(yong);以公(gong)(gong)之(zhi)(zhi)神武明哲,何向(xiang)而不济!今(jin)军(jun)(jun)实(shi)虽(sui)(sui)少(shao),未若楚、汉在荥阳(yang)、成皋间也。公(gong)(gong)今(jin)画地而守,扼(e)其喉而使不能(neng)进(jin),情见势(shi)竭,必将有(you)变(bian)。此用(yong)奇之(zhi)(zhi)时,断(duan)不可失。惟(wei)明公(gong)(gong)裁察焉。”曹(cao)操(cao)得书大喜,令将士效力死守。
绍军(jun)约退三十余(yu)里,操遣将(jiang)(jiang)出营巡(xun)哨。有徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)部将(jiang)(jiang)史(shi)涣(huan)获得袁(yuan)军(jun)细作,解见徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)。晃(huang)(huang)问其军(jun)中虚实(shi)。答曰(yue)(yue):“早晚(wan)大将(jiang)(jiang)韩(han)猛(meng)运粮(liang)至军(jun)前接(jie)济,先令我等探路(lu)。”徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)便(bian)将(jiang)(jiang)此事(shi)报知曹(cao)操。荀(xun)攸(you)曰(yue)(yue):“韩(han)猛(meng)匹夫之勇耳。若遣一人引(yin)轻骑数(shu)(shu)千,从半路(lu)击(ji)之,断其粮(liang)草,绍军(jun)自乱。”操曰(yue)(yue):“谁人可往?”攸(you)曰(yue)(yue):“即遣徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)可也。”操遂差徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)将(jiang)(jiang)带史(shi)涣(huan)并所部兵先出,后使张辽、许褚(chu)引(yin)兵救应。当夜韩(han)猛(meng)押粮(liang)车数(shu)(shu)千辆(liang),解赴绍寨。正走之间,山谷内徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)、史(shi)涣(huan)引(yin)军(jun)截住去路(lu)。韩(han)猛(meng)飞马来战,徐(xu)晃(huang)(huang)接(jie)住厮杀。史(shi)涣(huan)便(bian)杀散人夫,放火(huo)焚烧(shao)粮(liang)车。

却(que)说张(zhang)(zhang)郃、高(gao)(gao)览攻(gong)打曹(cao)(cao)营(ying)(ying),左边夏侯(hou)(hou)惇(dun)、右边曹(cao)(cao)仁,中(zhong)路(lu)曹(cao)(cao)洪,一齐冲出:三下(xia)攻(gong)击(ji),袁军(jun)(jun)大败(bai)。比及(ji)接应(ying)军(jun)(jun)到,曹(cao)(cao)操又(you)从背后杀来,四(si)下(xia)围住掩(yan)杀。张(zhang)(zhang)邰(tai)(tai)、高(gao)(gao)览夺(duo)路(lu)走脱。袁绍(shao)(shao)(shao)收(shou)得乌(wu)巢败(bai)残军(jun)(jun)马(ma)归寨(zhai),见(jian)淳(chun)于(yu)琼耳鼻(bi)皆无,手足(zu)尽落。绍(shao)(shao)(shao)问:“如(ru)何(he)(he)失(shi)了乌(wu)巢?”败(bai)军(jun)(jun)告说:“淳(chun)于(yu)琼醉卧(wo),因此(ci)不(bu)(bu)能抵敌。”绍(shao)(shao)(shao)怒,立斩之。郭图(tu)恐张(zhang)(zhang)邰(tai)(tai)、高(gao)(gao)览回寨(zhai)证对(dui)是非,先于(yu)袁绍(shao)(shao)(shao)前谮曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“张(zhang)(zhang)邰(tai)(tai)、高(gao)(gao)览见(jian)主公兵败(bai),心(xin)中(zhong)必喜(xi)。”绍(shao)(shao)(shao)曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“何(he)(he)出此(ci)言?”图(tu)曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“二(er)(er)人(ren)素(su)有(you)降(jiang)曹(cao)(cao)之意,今遣击(ji)寨(zhai),故意不(bu)(bu)肯(ken)用力,以致损(sun)折士卒。”绍(shao)(shao)(shao)大怒,遂(sui)遣使(shi)急召二(er)(er)人(ren)归寨(zhai)问罪。郭图(tu)先使(shi)人(ren)报二(er)(er)人(ren)云:“主公将(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)杀汝矣(yi)。”及(ji)绍(shao)(shao)(shao)使(shi)至,高(gao)(gao)览问曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“主公唤我(wo)等为(wei)何(he)(he)?”使(shi)者曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“不(bu)(bu)知何(he)(he)故。”览遂(sui)拔剑斩来使(shi)。邰(tai)(tai)大惊。览曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“袁绍(shao)(shao)(shao)听信(xin)谗言,必为(wei)曹(cao)(cao)操所擒(qin);吾等岂可坐而(er)待死?不(bu)(bu)如(ru)去(qu)投(tou)曹(cao)(cao)操。”邰(tai)(tai)曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“吾亦(yi)(yi)有(you)此(ci)心(xin)久矣(yi)。”于(yu)是二(er)(er)人(ren)领本(ben)部(bu)兵马(ma),往曹(cao)(cao)操寨(zhai)中(zhong)投(tou)降(jiang)。夏侯(hou)(hou)惇(dun)曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“张(zhang)(zhang)、高(gao)(gao)二(er)(er)人(ren)来降(jiang),未知虚实。”操曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“吾以恩遇之,虽有(you)异心(xin),亦(yi)(yi)可变矣(yi)。”遂(sui)开营(ying)(ying)门命二(er)(er)人(ren)入。二(er)(er)人(ren)倒戈卸甲(jia),拜伏(fu)于(yu)地(di)。操曰(yue)(yue)(yue):“若使(shi)袁绍(shao)(shao)(shao)肯(ken)从二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)(jun)之言,不(bu)(bu)至有(you)败(bai)。今二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)(jun)肯(ken)来相投(tou),如(ru)微子去(qu)殷,韩(han)信(xin)归汉也(ye)。”遂(sui)封张(zhang)(zhang)邰(tai)(tai)为(wei)偏将(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)(jun)、都亭侯(hou)(hou),高(gao)(gao)览为(wei)偏将(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)(jun)、东(dong)莱侯(hou)(hou)。二(er)(er)人(ren)大喜(xi)。
却说袁(yuan)绍(shao)既去了许(xu)攸,又去了张(zhang)邰(tai)、高览,又失了乌巢粮,军(jun)心(xin)皇(huang)皇(huang)。许(xu)攸又劝曹操(cao)作速进兵;张(zhang)邰(tai)、高览请为先锋;操(cao)从之(zhi)。即令张(zhang)邰(tai)、高览领兵往劫绍(shao)寨。当夜三(san)(san)更(geng)时分(fen),出(chu)军(jun)三(san)(san)路劫寨。混(hun)战(zhan)到(dao)明(ming),各自收兵,绍(shao)军(jun)折(zhe)其大半。
荀攸献(xian)计(ji)曰(yue):“今可扬(yang)言调拨人马,一路取(qu)酸枣(zao),攻邺郡;一路取(qu)黎阳,断袁(yuan)兵归路。
袁(yuan)绍(shao)闻之,必(bi)然惊(jing)惶,分(fen)兵(bing)拒我;我乘其(qi)兵(bing)动时击之,绍(shao)可破也(ye)。”操用其(qi)计,使(shi)大(da)小三军,四远(yuan)扬(yang)言。绍(shao)军闻此信,来寨中报(bao)说:“曹操分(fen)兵(bing)两路:一(yi)路取邺(ye)郡,一(yi)路取黎阳(yang)去也(ye)。”绍(shao)大(da)惊(jing),急遣袁(yuan)谭(tan)分(fen)兵(bing)五(wu)万救(jiu)邺(ye)郡,辛明分(fen)兵(bing)五(wu)万救(jiu)黎阳(yang),连夜起行(xing)。
曹操探知袁(yuan)绍(shao)(shao)兵(bing)动,便分(fen)大队军(jun)(jun)马,八(ba)路齐出,直冲绍(shao)(shao)营(ying)。袁(yuan)军(jun)(jun)俱无斗志,四散奔走(zou),遂大溃。袁(yuan)绍(shao)(shao)披甲不(bu)(bu)迭,单衣幅(fu)巾上马;幼子袁(yuan)尚后随。张辽、许褚、徐晃、于禁四员将,引军(jun)(jun)追赶袁(yuan)绍(shao)(shao)。绍(shao)(shao)急渡河,尽弃图书车(che)仗金帛,止引随行(xing)八(ba)百余骑而(er)去。操军(jun)(jun)追之(zhi)不(bu)(bu)及,尽获(huo)遗下之(zhi)物。所(suo)杀八(ba)万(wan)余人(ren),血(xue)流盈沟(gou),溺水死(si)者不(bu)(bu)计其数。
操(cao)(cao)获全胜,将(jiang)所得金宝(bao)缎匹,给赏军士。于图书中(zhong)检(jian)出书信一束,皆(jie)许都及军中(zhong)诸人(ren)与绍暗通之(zhi)书。左右曰(yue):“可逐一点对姓名,收(shou)而杀之(zhi)。”操(cao)(cao)曰(yue):“当绍之(zhi)强,孤亦不(bu)能自保,况他人(ren)乎?”遂命尽焚(fen)之(zhi),更不(bu)再问。
却说袁绍兵败而奔,沮(ju)授(shou)(shou)因被(bei)囚禁(jin),急走不(bu)(bu)(bu)脱(tuo),为曹军(jun)所(suo)获,擒(qin)见曹操(cao)。操(cao)素(su)与(yu)授(shou)(shou)相识。授(shou)(shou)见操(cao),大呼(hu)曰(yue)(yue):“授(shou)(shou)不(bu)(bu)(bu)降也(ye)!”操(cao)曰(yue)(yue):“本初无谋,不(bu)(bu)(bu)用君(jun)言,君(jun)何尚执迷耶?吾(wu)若(ruo)早得足下,天(tian)下不(bu)(bu)(bu)足虑也(ye)。”因厚待之,留于(yu)军(jun)中。授(shou)(shou)乃(nai)于(yu)营中盗马,欲归袁氏(shi)。操(cao)怒,乃(nai)杀之。授(shou)(shou)至(zhi)死神色不(bu)(bu)(bu)变。操(cao)叹曰(yue)(yue):“吾(wu)误(wu)杀忠义(yi)之士也(ye)!”命厚礼殡殓(lian),为建坟(fen)安葬于(yu)黄河渡口,题其墓(mu)曰(yue)(yue):“忠烈沮(ju)君(jun)之墓(mu)。”后人有(you)诗(shi)赞曰(yue)(yue):“河北多名士,忠贞推沮(ju)君(jun):凝(ning)眸知阵法(fa),仰面识天(tian)文(wen);至(zhi)死心如铁,临危气(qi)似云。曹公钦义(yi)烈,特与(yu)建孤坟(fen)。”操(cao)下令(ling)攻冀州(zhou)。正是:势弱只因多算胜,兵强(qiang)却为寡(gua)谋亡。未(wei)知胜负如何,且看(kan)下文(wen)分解。
