    臧霸字宣高,泰山華人也。父戒,為縣獄掾,據法不聽太守欲所私殺。太守大怒,令收戒詣府,時送者百餘人。霸年十八,將客數十人徑於費西山中要奪之,送者莫敢動,因與父俱亡命東海,由是以勇壯聞。黃巾起,霸從陶謙擊破之,拜騎都尉。遂收兵於徐州,與孫觀、吳敦、尹禮等並聚眾,霸為帥,屯於開陽。太祖之討呂布也,霸等將兵助布。既禽布,霸自匿。太祖募索得霸,見而悅之,使霸招吳敦、尹禮、孫觀、觀兄康等,皆詣太祖。太祖以霸為琅邪相,敦利城、禮東莞、觀北海、康城陽太守,割青、徐二州,委之於霸。太祖之在兗州,以徐翕、毛暉為將。兗州亂,翕、暉皆叛。後兗州定,翕、暉亡命投霸。太祖語劉備,令語霸送二人首。霸謂備曰:「霸所以能自立者,以不為此也。霸受公生全之恩,不敢違命。然王霸之君可以義告,原將軍為之辭。」備以霸言白太祖,太祖嘆息,謂霸曰:「此古人之事而君能行之,孤之原也。」乃皆以翕、暉為郡守。
