青龍元年,寵上疏曰:「合肥城南臨江湖,北遠壽春,賊攻圍之,得據水爲勢;官兵救之,當先破賊大輩,然後圍乃得解。賊往甚易,而兵往救之甚難,宜移城內之兵,其西三十里,有奇險可依,更立城以固守,此爲引賊平地而掎其歸路,於計爲便。」護軍將軍蔣濟議,以爲:「旣示天下以弱,且望賊煙火而壞城,此爲未攻而自拔。一至於此,劫略無限,必以淮北爲守。」帝未許。寵重表曰:「孫子言,兵者,詭道也。故能而示之以弱不能,驕之以利,示之以懾。此爲形實不必相應也。又曰『善動敵者形之』。今賊未至而移城却內,此所謂形而誘之也。引賊遠水,擇利而動,舉得於外,則福生於內矣。」尚書趙咨以寵策爲長,詔遂報聽。其年,權自出,欲圍新城,以其遠水,積二十日不敢下舡。寵謂諸將曰:「權得吾移城,必於其衆中有自大之言,今大舉來欲要一切之功,雖不敢至,必當上岸耀兵以示有餘。」乃潛遣步騎六千,伏肥城隱處以待之。權果上岸耀兵,寵伏軍卒起擊之,斬首數百,或有赴水死者。明年,權自將號十萬,至合肥新城。寵馳往赴,募壯士數十人,折松爲炬,灌以麻油,從上風放火,燒賊攻具,射殺權弟子孫泰。賊於是引退。三年春,權遣兵數千家佃於江北。至八月,寵以爲田向收孰,男女布野,其屯衞兵去城遠者數百里,可掩擊也。遣長史督三軍循江東下,摧破諸屯,焚燒穀物而還。詔羙之,因以所獲盡爲將士賞。

孫匡字季佐,翊弟也。舉孝廉茂才,未試用,卒。時年二十餘。〈《江表传》曰:曹休出洞口,吕范率军御之。时匡为定武中郎将,(遣)范令放火,烧损茅芒,以乏军用,范即启送匡还吴。权别其族为丁氏,禁固终身。臣松之案本传曰:“匡未试用卒,时年二十餘。”而《江表传》云吕范在洞口,匡为定武中郎将。既为定武,非为未试用。且孙坚以初平二年卒,洞口之役在黃初三年,坚卒至此合三十一年,匡时若尚在,本传不得云卒时年二十餘也。此盖权别生弟朗,《江表传》误以为匡也。朗之名位见《三朝录》及虞喜《志林》也。〉子泰,曹氏之甥也,為長水校尉。嘉禾三年,從權圍新城,中流矢死。泰子秀為前將軍、夏口督。秀公室至親,握兵在外,皓意不能平。建衡二年,皓遣何定將五千人至夏口獵。先是,民間歛言秀當見圖,而定遠獵,秀遂驚,夜將妻子親兵數百人奔晉。晉以秀為驃騎將軍、儀同三司,封會稽公。〈《江表传》曰:皓大怒,追改秀姓曰厉。干宝《晋纪》曰:秀在晋朝,初闻皓降,群臣毕贺,秀称疾不与,南向流涕曰:“昔讨逆弱冠以一校尉创业,今后主举江南而弃之,宗庙山陵,於此为墟。悠悠苍天,此何人哉!”朝廷美之。《晋诸公赞》曰:吴平,降为伏波将军,开府如故。永宁中卒,追赠骠骑、开府。子俭,字仲节,给事中。〉
