任峻字伯达，河南中牟人也。汉末扰乱，关东皆震。中牟令杨原愁恐，欲弃官走。峻说原曰：“董卓首乱，天下莫不侧目，然而未有先发者，非无其心也，势未敢耳。明府若能唱之，必有和者。”原曰：“为之奈何？”峻曰：“今关东有十餘县，能胜兵者不减万人，若权行河南尹事，总而用之，无不济矣。”原从其计，以峻为主簿。峻乃为原表行尹事，使诸县坚守，遂发兵。会太祖起关东，入中牟界，众不知所从，峻独与同郡张奋议，举郡以归太祖。峻又别收宗族及宾客家兵数百人，原从太祖。太祖大悦，表峻为骑都尉，妻以从妹，甚见亲信。太祖每征伐，峻常居守以给军。是时岁饥旱，军食不足，羽林监颍川枣祗建置屯田，太祖以峻为典农中郎将，募百姓屯田於许下，得谷百万斛，郡国列置田官，数年中所在积粟，仓廪皆满。
