    太祖還鄴,留晃與夏侯淵拒劉備於陽平。備遣陳式等十餘營絶馬鳴閣道,晃別征破之,賊自投山谷,多死者。太祖聞,甚喜,假晃節,令曰:「此閣道,漢中之險要咽喉也。劉備欲斷絶外內,以取漢中。將軍一舉,克奪賊計,善之善者也。」太祖遂自至陽平,引出漢中諸軍。復遣晃助曹仁討關羽,屯宛。會漢水暴隘,于禁等沒。羽圍仁於樊,又圍將軍呂常於襄陽。晃所將多新卒,以羽難與爭鋒,遂前至陽陵陂屯。太祖復還,遣將軍徐商、呂建等詣晃,令曰:「須兵馬集至,乃俱前。」賊屯偃城。晃到,詭道作都塹,示欲截其後,賊燒屯走。晃得偃城,兩面連營,稍前,去賊圍三丈所。未攻,太祖前後遣殷署、朱蓋等凡十二營詣晃。賊圍頭有屯,又別屯四冢。晃揚聲當攻圍頭屯,而密攻四冢。羽見四冢欲壞,自將步騎五千出戰,晃擊之,退走,遂追陷與俱入圍,破之,或自投沔水死。太祖令曰:「賊圍塹鹿角十重,將軍致戰全勝,遂陷賊圍,多斬首虜。吾用兵三十餘年,及所聞古之善用兵者,未有長驅徑入敵圍者也。且樊、襄陽之在圍,過於莒、即墨,將軍之功,逾孫武、穰苴。」晃振旅還摩陂,太祖迎晃七里,置酒大會。太祖舉巵酒勸晃,且勞之曰:「全樊、襄陽,將軍之功也。」時諸軍皆集,太祖案行諸營,士卒咸離陳觀,而晃軍營整齊,將士駐陳不動。太祖嘆曰:「徐將軍可謂有周亞夫之風矣。」
