二年春正月,曹眞分軍據江陵中州。是月,城江夏山。改四分,用《乾象歷》。〈《江表傳》曰:權推五德之運,以爲土行用未祖辰臘。志林曰:土行以辰臘,得其數矣。土盛於戌,而以未祖,其義非也。土生於未,故未爲坤初。是以月令:建未之月,祀黃精於郊,祖用其盛。今祖用其始,豈應運乎?〉三月,曹仁遣將軍常彫等,以兵五千,乘油船,晨渡濡須中州。仁子泰因引軍急攻朱桓,桓兵拒之。遣將軍嚴圭等擊破彫等。是月,魏軍皆退。夏四月,權群臣勸即尊號,權不許。〈《江表傳》曰:權辭讓曰:「漢家堙替,不能存救,亦何心而競乎?」群臣稱天命符瑞,固重以請。權未之許,而謂將相曰:「往年孤以玄德方嚮西鄙,故先命陸遜選眾以待之。聞北部分,欲以助孤,孤內嫌其有挾,若不受其拜,是相折辱而趣其速發,便當與西俱至,二處受敵,於孤爲劇,故自抑按,就其封王。低屈之趣,諸君似未之盡,今故以此相解耳。」〉劉備薨於白帝。〈吳書曰:權遣立信都尉馮熙聘於蜀,弔備喪也。熙字子柔,潁川人,馮異之後也。權之爲車騎,熙歷東曹掾,使蜀還,爲中大夫。後使於魏,文帝問曰:「吳王若欲脩宿好,宜當厲兵江關,縣旍巴蜀,而聞復遣脩好,必有變故。」熙曰:「臣聞西使直報問,且以觀衅,非有謀也。」又曰:「聞吳國比年災旱,人物彫損,以大夫之明,觀之何如?」熙對曰:「吳王體量聰明,善於任使,賦政施役,每事必咨,教養賓旅,親賢愛士,賞不擇怨仇,而罰必加有罪,臣下皆感恩懷德,惟忠與義。帶甲百萬,穀帛如山,稻田沃野,民無饑歳,所謂金城湯池,強富之國也。以臣觀之,輕重之分,未可量也。」帝不悅,以陳群與熙同郡,使群誘之,啗以重利。熙不爲回。送至摩陂,欲困苦之。後又召還,未至,熙懼見迫不從,必危身辱命,乃引刀自刺。御者覺之,不得死。權聞之,垂涕曰:「此與蘇武何異?」竟死於魏。〉五月,曲阿言甘露降。先是戲口守將晉宗殺將王直,以眾叛如魏,魏以爲蘄春太守,數犯邊境。六月,權令將軍賀齊、糜芳、劉邵等襲蘄春,邵等生虜宗。冬十一月,蜀使中郎將鄧芝來聘。〈《吳歷》曰:蜀致馬二百匹,錦千端,及方物。自是之後,聘使往來以爲常。吳亦致方土所出,以答其厚意焉。〉
