不(bu)如不(bu)发救(jiu)兵(bing)，借(jie)操之力以除(chu)之。”尚从其(qi)言，不(bu)肯发兵(bing)。使(shi)者回报，谭(tan)大(da)怒，立(li)斩(zhan)逢纪，议欲(yu)降曹。早有细(xi)作密报袁尚。尚与审配(pei)议曰：“使(shi)谭(tan)降曹，并(bing)力来攻，则(ze)冀州危矣。”乃留审配(pei)并(bing)大(da)将(jiang)(jiang)苏由固守冀州，自领大(da)军来黎阳救(jiu)谭(tan)。尚问军中(zhong)谁敢为前部(bu)，大(da)将(jiang)(jiang)吕(lv)旷、吕(lv)翔兄弟二(er)人愿去。尚点兵(bing)三万，使(shi)为先锋，先至黎阳。谭(tan)闻尚自来，大(da)喜，遂(sui)罢降曹之议。谭(tan)屯(tun)兵(bing)城中(zhong)，尚屯(tun)兵(bing)城外，为掎角之势。
不一日，袁(yuan)(yuan)熙、高干(gan)皆(jie)领军(jun)到城外，屯兵(bing)三处，每日出兵(bing)与操(cao)相(xiang)持。尚(shang)屡败，操(cao)兵(bing)屡胜。至(zhi)建安八年(nian)春二月(yue)，操(cao)分路攻(gong)打，袁(yuan)(yuan)谭、袁(yuan)(yuan)熙、袁(yuan)(yuan)尚(shang)、高干(gan)皆(jie)大败，弃黎阳(yang)而走。操(cao)引兵(bing)追(zhui)至(zhi)冀(ji)州(zhou)，谭与尚(shang)入城坚守(shou)；熙与于(yu)离城三十里下(xia)寨(zhai)，虚张(zhang)声势。操(cao)兵(bing)连日攻(gong)打不下(xia)。郭嘉进曰(yue)：“袁(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)废长(zhang)立幼，而兄(xiong)弟(di)(di)之(zhi)间，权力相(xiang)并(bing)，各自树党(dang)，急之(zhi)则相(xiang)救，缓之(zhi)则相(xiang)争(zheng)；不如(ru)举(ju)兵(bing)南向荆州(zhou)，征讨刘(liu)表，以候袁(yuan)(yuan)氏(shi)兄(xiong)弟(di)(di)之(zhi)变；变成而后击之(zhi)，可一举(ju)而定也。”操(cao)善其(qi)言(yan)，命贾诩为(wei)太守(shou)，守(shou)黎阳(yang)；曹洪引兵(bing)守(shou)官渡。操(cao)引大军(jun)向荆州(zhou)进兵(bing)。
谭、尚(shang)(shang)听(ting)知曹军自退，遂(sui)相庆(qing)贺。袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)熙、高干(gan)各自辞去(qu)。袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)谭与郭(guo)图(tu)、辛评议曰(yue)：“我(wo)为长子，反(fan)(fan)不(bu)能承(cheng)(cheng)父业；尚(shang)(shang)乃(nai)继母所生，反(fan)(fan)承(cheng)(cheng)大爵：心实不(bu)甘。”图(tu)曰(yue)：“主公可勒兵(bing)城外，只做请(qing)(qing)显甫、审配(pei)饮酒，伏刀斧手杀之(zhi)(zhi)，大事定(ding)矣。”谭从其言(yan)。适别驾王修(xiu)自青州来，谭将此计(ji)(ji)告之(zhi)(zhi)。修(xiu)曰(yue)：“兄弟者，左右手也。今与他人(ren)争斗(dou)，断其右手，而(er)(er)曰(yue)我(wo)必(bi)胜，安(an)可得乎(hu)？夫弃兄弟而(er)(er)不(bu)亲(qin)(qin)，天下(xia)其谁亲(qin)(qin)之(zhi)(zhi)？彼(bi)谗人(ren)离间骨肉(rou)，以(yi)求一朝之(zhi)(zhi)利，原(yuan)塞(sai)耳(er)勿听(ting)也。”谭怒，叱退王修(xiu)，使人(ren)去(qu)请(qing)(qing)袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)尚(shang)(shang)。尚(shang)(shang)与审配(pei)商(shang)议。配(pei)曰(yue)：“此必(bi)郭(guo)图(tu)之(zhi)(zhi)计(ji)(ji)也。主公若往，必(bi)遭(zao)奸计(ji)(ji)；不(bu)如乘势攻之(zhi)(zhi)。”袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)尚(shang)(shang)依言(yan)，便披(pi)挂上(shang)马(ma)，引兵(bing)五万出(chu)城。袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)谭见袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)尚(shang)(shang)引军来，情(qing)知事泄，亦即披(pi)挂上(shang)马(ma)，与尚(shang)(shang)交锋。尚(shang)(shang)见谭大骂(ma)。谭亦骂(ma)曰(yue)：“汝药死父亲(qin)(qin)，篡(cuan)夺爵位，今又来杀兄耶！”二(er)人(ren)亲(qin)(qin)自交锋，袁(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)谭大败(bai)。尚(shang)(shang)亲(qin)(qin)冒矢石，冲突掩杀。

却说袁(yuan)尚知曹军(jun)(jun)(jun)渡(du)河，急急引军(jun)(jun)(jun)还邺，命(ming)吕(lv)(lv)旷(kuang)(kuang)、吕(lv)(lv)翔断后(hou)。袁(yuan)谭(tan)见尚退(tui)军(jun)(jun)(jun)，乃大(da)(da)起平原(yuan)军(jun)(jun)(jun)马，随后(hou)赶来。行(xing)不到数十里，一声炮(pao)响，两军(jun)(jun)(jun)齐出：左边吕(lv)(lv)旷(kuang)(kuang)，右边吕(lv)(lv)翔，兄弟二(er)(er)人截住袁(yuan)潭。谭(tan)勒马告二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)曰：“吾(wu)父在(zai)日(ri)，吾(wu)并(bing)未慢(man)待二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)(jun)(jun)，今何(he)从吾(wu)弟而见逼耶？”二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)闻(wen)言，乃下马降(jiang)谭(tan)。谭(tan)曰：“勿降(jiang)我，可降(jiang)曹承相(xiang)。”二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)因(yin)随谭(tan)归营。谭(tan)候操军(jun)(jun)(jun)至，引二(er)(er)将(jiang)(jiang)见操。操大(da)(da)喜(xi)，以(yi)女许谭(tan)为(wei)(wei)妻，即(ji)令(ling)吕(lv)(lv)旷(kuang)(kuang)、吕(lv)(lv)翔为(wei)(wei)媒。谭(tan)请操攻(gong)取冀州(zhou)。操曰：“方今粮(liang)草不接，搬运(yun)劳苦，我济河，遏淇水入(ru)白沟，以(yi)通粮(liang)道，然(ran)后(hou)进(jin)兵。”令(ling)谭(tan)且居平原(yuan)。操引军(jun)(jun)(jun)退(tui)屯黎(li)阳，封吕(lv)(lv)旷(kuang)(kuang)、吕(lv)(lv)翔为(wei)(wei)列侯，随军(jun)(jun)(jun)听用。
郭图谓袁谭(tan)曰：“曹操(cao)以(yi)女许婚(hun)，恐非真意(yi)。今又(you)封赏(shang)吕(lv)(lv)(lv)旷、吕(lv)(lv)(lv)翔(xiang)，带去(qu)军中(zhong)，此乃牢笼(long)河北人(ren)心(xin)。后(hou)必(bi)终为我祸。主公可(ke)刻将(jiang)(jiang)军印二(er)颗(ke)(ke)，暗使人(ren)送与二(er)吕(lv)(lv)(lv)，令作内应。待操(cao)破了(le)袁尚，可(ke)乘(cheng)便(bian)图之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)。”谭(tan)依言(yan)，遂刻将(jiang)(jiang)军印二(er)颗(ke)(ke)，暗送与二(er)吕(lv)(lv)(lv)。二(er)吕(lv)(lv)(lv)受讫，径(jing)将(jiang)(jiang)印来禀曹操(cao)。操(cao)大笑(xiao)曰：“谭(tan)暗送印者，欲汝等(deng)为内助，待我破袁尚之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后(hou)，就中(zhong)取事耳。汝等(deng)且权受之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)，我自(zi)有(you)主张。”自(zi)此曹操(cao)便(bian)有(you)杀谭(tan)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)心(xin)。
且说袁(yuan)尚(shang)与审配商议：“今曹兵运(yun)粮(liang)入(ru)白沟，必来攻冀(ji)州(zhou)，如(ru)之奈何？”配曰：“可(ke)(ke)发檄使(shi)武安长尹楷屯毛城，通上(shang)党运(yun)粮(liang)道；令(ling)沮授(shou)之子沮鹄(hu)守邯郸，遥为声援。主公(gong)可(ke)(ke)进兵平(ping)原，急攻袁(yuan)谭。先绝袁(yuan)谭，然后(hou)破曹。”袁(yuan)尚(shang)大喜，留(liu)审配与陈琳守冀(ji)州(zhou)，使(shi)马(ma)延、张顗二将(jiang)为先锋，连夜起(qi)兵攻打平(ping)原。
谭知尚(shang)兵(bing)来近，告急于操(cao)。操(cao)曰(yue)：“吾今番必(bi)得(de)冀州矣。”正(zheng)说(shuo)间(jian)，适许(xu)攸自(zi)许(xu)昌来；闻尚(shang)又(you)攻(gong)谭，入(ru)见(jian)操(cao)曰(yue)：“丞相坐守(shou)于此，岂(qi)欲待天雷(lei)击杀二袁(yuan)乎？”操(cao)笑曰(yue)：“吾已料定(ding)矣。”遂令曹(cao)洪(hong)先进兵(bing)攻(gong)邺(ye)，操(cao)自(zi)引(yin)一(yi)(yi)军来攻(gong)尹楷(kai)。兵(bing)临(lin)本(ben)境(jing)，楷(kai)引(yin)军来迎。楷(kai)出马(ma)(ma)，操(cao)曰(yue)：“许(xu)仲康安在？”许(xu)褚(chu)应(ying)声而出，纵马(ma)(ma)直取(qu)尹楷(kai)。楷(kai)措(cuo)手不(bu)及，被许(xu)褚(chu)一(yi)(yi)刀(dao)斩(zhan)于马(ma)(ma)下，余众(zhong)奔溃。操(cao)尽招降之(zhi)(zhi)，即勒兵(bing)取(qu)邯郸。沮鹄进兵(bing)来迎。张辽(liao)出马(ma)(ma)，与鹄交锋。战不(bu)三合，鹄大败，辽(liao)从后追赶。两马(ma)(ma)相离不(bu)远，辽(liao)急取(qu)弓射之(zhi)(zhi)，应(ying)弦落马(ma)(ma)。操(cao)指(zhi)挥(hui)军马(ma)(ma)掩杀，众(zhong)皆奔散。
于是操引(yin)大军(jun)前抵冀州(zhou)。曹(cao)洪已(yi)近城下(xia)。操令三军(jun)绕城筑起土山(shan)，又暗掘地道以攻(gong)之(zhi)。
审配设计(ji)坚守，法令(ling)(ling)甚严，东(dong)门(men)(men)守将冯(feng)礼(li)，因酒醉有误巡(xun)警，配痛责之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)。冯(feng)礼(li)怀恨，潜地出(chu)(chu)城(cheng)降(jiang)操(cao)。操(cao)问破(po)城(cheng)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)策，礼(li)曰(yue)：“突(tu)门(men)(men)内(nei)土厚，可(ke)(ke)掘地道而(er)入。”操(cao)便(bian)命冯(feng)礼(li)引三百(bai)壮(zhuang)士，夤夜(ye)(ye)掘地道而(er)入。却说审配自冯(feng)礼(li)出(chu)(chu)降(jiang)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)后，每夜(ye)(ye)亲自登城(cheng)点视军(jun)马。当夜(ye)(ye)在突(tu)门(men)(men)阁上，望见(jian)城(cheng)外无(wu)灯火(huo)。配曰(yue)：“冯(feng)礼(li)必引兵(bing)从(cong)地道而(er)入也(ye)(ye)。”急唤精兵(bing)运(yun)石(shi)击突(tu)闸门(men)(men)；门(men)(men)闭，冯(feng)礼(li)及三百(bai)壮(zhuang)士，皆死于(yu)(yu)土内(nei)。操(cao)折了这一(yi)(yi)场，遂罢地道之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)计(ji)，退军(jun)于(yu)(yu)洹水之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)上，以候(hou)袁尚(shang)(shang)回(hui)兵(bing)。袁尚(shang)(shang)攻平原(yuan)，闻曹(cao)操(cao)已(yi)破(po)尹楷、沮鹄，大(da)军(jun)围困冀州，乃掣兵(bing)回(hui)救(jiu)。部将马延曰(yue)：“从(cong)大(da)路去，曹(cao)操(cao)必有伏(fu)兵(bing)；可(ke)(ke)取(qu)小路，从(cong)西(xi)山(shan)出(chu)(chu)滏(fu)(fu)水口去劫(jie)曹(cao)营，必解围也(ye)(ye)。”尚(shang)(shang)从(cong)其言，自领大(da)军(jun)先(xian)行，令(ling)(ling)马延与张顗断后。早有细作去报曹(cao)操(cao)。操(cao)曰(yue)：“彼(bi)若(ruo)从(cong)大(da)路上来，吾当避之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)：若(ruo)从(cong)西(xi)山(shan)小路而(er)来，一(yi)(yi)战可(ke)(ke)擒也(ye)(ye)。吾料袁尚(shang)(shang)必举火(huo)为号，令(ling)(ling)城(cheng)中接应。吾可(ke)(ke)分兵(bing)击之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)。”于(yu)(yu)是分拨已(yi)定(ding)。却说袁尚(shang)(shang)出(chu)(chu)滏(fu)(fu)水界口，东(dong)至阳平，屯军(jun)阳平亭，离冀州十七里，一(yi)(yi)边靠着滏(fu)(fu)水。尚(shang)(shang)令(ling)(ling)军(jun)士堆积柴薪干(gan)草，至夜(ye)(ye)焚(fen)烧为号；遣主簿李孚扮作曹(cao)军(jun)都督，直至城(cheng)下。
大叫：“开门！”审配(pei)(pei)认得是李孚(fu)声音(yin)，放入(ru)城中(zhong)(zhong)，说(shuo)：“袁尚已陈兵(bing)(bing)在阳平亭(ting)，等候接应，若(ruo)城中(zhong)(zhong)兵(bing)(bing)出，亦举火(huo)为(wei)号。”配(pei)(pei)教城中(zhong)(zhong)堆草放火(huo)，以通音(yin)信。孚(fu)曰(yue)：“城中(zhong)(zhong)无(wu)粮，可(ke)发老弱残兵(bing)(bing)并(bing)妇人出降(jiang)；彼必不为(wei)备(bei)，我即以兵(bing)(bing)继百姓之后出攻之。”配(pei)(pei)从其论。
次日(ri)(ri)(ri)，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)上竖(shu)起白旗，上写(xie)“冀(ji)(ji)(ji)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)百(bai)(bai)姓(xing)投降(jiang)(jiang)。”操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)曰(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)：“此(ci)(ci)是城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)无粮，教(jiao)(jiao)老弱百(bai)(bai)姓(xing)出(chu)降(jiang)(jiang)，后必有(you)兵出(chu)也。”操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)教(jiao)(jiao)张(zhang)(zhang)辽、徐(xu)晃(huang)各引(yin)(yin)(yin)三千军(jun)来(lai)(lai)，伏(fu)于(yu)(yu)两(liang)边。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)自(zi)乘(cheng)马(ma)、张(zhang)(zhang)麾盖至城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)下(xia)(xia)、果见(jian)(jian)(jian)(jian)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)门(men)开(kai)处，百(bai)(bai)姓(xing)扶老携幼(you)，手持白旗而出(chu)。百(bai)(bai)姓(xing)才(cai)出(chu)尽(jin)(jin)，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)兵突(tu)出(chu)。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)教(jiao)(jiao)将红旗一招，张(zhang)(zhang)辽、徐(xu)晃(huang)两(liang)路兵齐出(chu)乱杀(sha)(sha)，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)兵只得(de)复回(hui)。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)自(zi)飞马(ma)赶来(lai)(lai)，到吊桥边，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)弩箭如(ru)雨，射中(zhong)操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)盔(kui)，险透其顶。众将急救回(hui)阵(zhen)。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)更(geng)衣(yi)(yi)换马(ma)，引(yin)(yin)(yin)众将来(lai)(lai)攻尚(shang)(shang)(shang)寨(zhai)，尚(shang)(shang)(shang)自(zi)迎(ying)敌。时各路军(jun)马(ma)一齐杀(sha)(sha)至，两(liang)军(jun)混战，袁(yuan)尚(shang)(shang)(shang)大败(bai)。尚(shang)(shang)(shang)引(yin)(yin)(yin)败(bai)兵退往西(xi)(xi)山(shan)(shan)(shan)下(xia)(xia)寨(zhai)，令人催取马(ma)延、张(zhang)(zhang)顗军(jun)来(lai)(lai)。不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)知曹操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)已(yi)(yi)使吕(lv)旷、吕(lv)翔去招安二(er)(er)将。二(er)(er)将随(sui)二(er)(er)吕(lv)来(lai)(lai)降(jiang)(jiang)，操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)亦封为(wei)(wei)列侯。即(ji)日(ri)(ri)(ri)进兵攻打西(xi)(xi)山(shan)(shan)(shan)，先使二(er)(er)吕(lv)、马(ma)延、张(zhang)(zhang)顗截断袁(yuan)尚(shang)(shang)(shang)粮道。尚(shang)(shang)(shang)情知西(xi)(xi)山(shan)(shan)(shan)守(shou)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)住(zhu)，夜(ye)走(zou)滥口(kou)。安营未定，四下(xia)(xia)火光并起，伏(fu)兵齐出(chu)，人不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)及甲(jia)，马(ma)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)及鞍。尚(shang)(shang)(shang)军(jun)大溃(kui)，退走(zou)五十(shi)(shi)里，势穷力(li)极，只得(de)遣豫州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)刺史(shi)阴夔至操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)营请降(jiang)(jiang)。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)佯(yang)许之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)，却(que)连(lian)夜(ye)使张(zhang)(zhang)辽、徐(xu)晃(huang)去劫寨(zhai)。尚(shang)(shang)(shang)尽(jin)(jin)弃印(yin)绶(shou)、节钺、衣(yi)(yi)甲(jia)、辎(zi)重，望(wang)中(zhong)山(shan)(shan)(shan)而逃。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)回(hui)军(jun)攻冀(ji)(ji)(ji)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)。许攸(you)献(xian)(xian)(xian)计(ji)曰(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)：“何(he)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)决漳(zhang)河之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)水(shui)以(yi)(yi)淹之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)？”操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)然(ran)其计(ji)，先差军(jun)于(yu)(yu)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)外(wai)(wai)(wai)掘(jue)壕(hao)堑(qian)，周围(wei)四十(shi)(shi)里。审(shen)(shen)配(pei)(pei)(pei)(pei)在城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)上见(jian)(jian)(jian)(jian)操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)军(jun)在城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)外(wai)(wai)(wai)掘(jue)堑(qian)，却(que)掘(jue)得(de)甚浅。配(pei)(pei)(pei)(pei)暗(an)笑曰(yue)(yue)(yue)(yue)：“此(ci)(ci)欲决漳(zhang)河之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)水(shui)以(yi)(yi)灌城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)耳(er)。壕(hao)深(shen)(shen)(shen)可灌，如(ru)此(ci)(ci)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)浅，有(you)何(he)用(yong)哉！”遂(sui)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)为(wei)(wei)备。当(dang)夜(ye)曹操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)添十(shi)(shi)倍军(jun)士并力(li)发掘(jue)，比及天明(ming)，广深(shen)(shen)(shen)二(er)(er)丈，引(yin)(yin)(yin)漳(zhang)水(shui)灌之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)水(shui)深(shen)(shen)(shen)数尺。更(geng)兼粮绝，军(jun)士皆饿(e)死(si)(si)(si)(si)。辛(xin)(xin)(xin)毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)在城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)外(wai)(wai)(wai)，用(yong)枪挑袁(yuan)尚(shang)(shang)(shang)印(yin)绶(shou)衣(yi)(yi)服，招安城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)内之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)人。审(shen)(shen)配(pei)(pei)(pei)(pei)大怒，将辛(xin)(xin)(xin)毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)家屋老小(xiao)八十(shi)(shi)余(yu)口(kou)，就(jiu)于(yu)(yu)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)上斩之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)，将头(tou)掷下(xia)(xia)。辛(xin)(xin)(xin)毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)号(hao)哭(ku)不(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)(bu)已(yi)(yi)。审(shen)(shen)配(pei)(pei)(pei)(pei)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)侄审(shen)(shen)荣(rong)，素与辛(xin)(xin)(xin)毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)相(xiang)厚，见(jian)(jian)(jian)(jian)辛(xin)(xin)(xin)毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)家属被害，心(xin)中(zhong)怀(huai)忿(fen)，乃密(mi)写(xie)献(xian)(xian)(xian)门(men)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)书(shu)，拴于(yu)(yu)箭上，射下(xia)(xia)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)来(lai)(lai)。军(jun)士拾献(xian)(xian)(xian)辛(xin)(xin)(xin)毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)，毗(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)(pi)将书(shu)献(xian)(xian)(xian)操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)。操(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)(cao)先下(xia)(xia)令：如(ru)入冀(ji)(ji)(ji)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)，休(xiu)得(de)杀(sha)(sha)害袁(yuan)氏(shi)一门(men)老小(xiao)；军(jun)民降(jiang)(jiang)者(zhe

众将请曹操(cao)入城(cheng)。操(cao)方欲起行，只见刀(dao)斧手拥(yong)一人至，操(cao)视(shi)之，乃(nai)陈琳也。操(cao)谓(wei)之曰：“汝前为本初作檄，但罪(zui)状孤可也；何乃(nai)辱(ru)及祖父(fu)耶？”琳答曰：“箭在弦上，不得不发耳。”左右劝操(cao)杀之；操(cao)怜(lian)其才，乃(nai)赦之，命为从(cong)事(shi)。
却说操(cao)长子曹(cao)丕，字子桓，时(shi)年(nian)十(shi)八岁。丕初生时(shi)，有云(yun)气(qi)一(yi)片，其色青紫，圆如车(che)盖，覆于其室，终日(ri)不(bu)(bu)散。有望气(qi)者(zhe)，密谓操(cao)曰：“此天子气(qi)也。令(ling)嗣贵(gui)不(bu)(bu)可言(yan)！”丕八岁能(neng)属(shu)文(wen)，有逸才，博(bo)古通今，善骑射，好击剑(jian)。时(shi)操(cao)破(po)冀州(zhou)，不(bu)(bu)随父在军中，先领(ling)随身军，径投袁绍(shao)家(jia)，下(xia)马拔剑(jian)而入。有一(yi)将当(dang)之(zhi)曰：“丞(cheng)相有命(ming)，诸人(ren)不(bu)(bu)许入绍(shao)府。”不(bu)(bu)叱退，提剑(jian)入后(hou)堂。见两个妇(fu)人(ren)相抱而哭(ku)，不(bu)(bu)向前欲(yu)杀(sha)之(zhi)。正是：四世(shi)公侯已成梦，一(yi)家(jia)骨肉又遭殃。未知性(xing)命(ming)如何，且听下(xia)文(wen)分解。
