    太祖征荊州,劉備奔吳。論者以為孫權必殺備,昱料之曰:「孫權新在位,未為海內所憚。曹公無敵於天下,初舉荊州,威震江表,權雖有謀,不能獨當也。劉備有英名,關羽、張飛皆萬人敵也,權必資之以禦我。難解勢分,備資以成,又不可得而殺也。」權果多與備兵,以禦太祖。是後中夏漸平,太祖拊昱背曰:「兗州之敗,不用君言,吾何以至此?」宗人奉牛酒大會,昱曰:「知足不辱,吾可以退矣。」乃自表歸兵,闔門不出。〈《魏書》曰:太祖征馬超,文帝留守,使昱參軍事。田銀、蘇伯等反河間,遣將軍賈信討之。賊有千餘人請降,議者皆以為宜如舊法,昱曰:「誅降者,謂在擾攘之時,天下雲起,故圍而後降者不赦,以示威天下,開其利路,使不至於圍也。今天下略定,且在邦域之中,此必降之賊,殺之無所威懼,非前日誅降之意。臣以為不可誅也;縱誅之,宜先啟聞。」眾議者曰:「軍事有專,無請。」昱不答。文帝起入,特引見昱曰:「君有所不盡邪?」昱曰:「凡專命者,謂有臨時之急,呼吸之間者耳。今此賊制在賈信之手,無朝夕之變。故老臣不原將軍行之也。」文帝曰:「君慮之善。」即白太祖,太祖果不誅。太祖還,聞之甚說,謂昱曰:「君非徒明於軍計,又善處人父子之間。」〉
