仁少時不脩行检,及長爲將,嚴整奉法令,常置科於左右,案以從事。鄢陵侯彰北征烏丸,文帝在東宫,爲書戒彰曰:「爲將奉法,不當如征南邪!」及即王位,拜仁车騎將軍,都督荆、揚、益州諸軍事,進封陳侯,增邑二千,并前三千五百户。追賜仁父炽諡曰陳穆侯,置守冢十家。後召還屯宛。孫權遣將陳邵据襄陽,詔仁討之。仁與徐晃攻破邵,遂入襄陽,使將軍高遷等徙漢南附化民於漢北,文帝遣使即拜仁大將軍。又詔仁移屯临潁,遷大司馬,復督諸軍据烏江,還屯合肥。黃初四年薨,諡曰忠侯。〈《魏書》曰:仁時年五十六。《傅子》曰:曹大司馬之勇,賁、育弗加也。張辽其次焉。〉子泰嗣,官至鎮東將軍,假節,轉封甯陵侯。泰薨,子初嗣。又分封泰弟楷、範,皆爲列侯,而牛金官至後將軍。

帝悟昭言,即詔尚等促出。賊兩頭並前,官兵一道引去,不時得洩,將軍石建、高遷僅得自免。軍出旬日,江水暴長。帝曰:「君論此事,何其審也!正使張、陳當之,何以復加。」五年,徙封成都鄉侯,拜太常。其年,徙光祿大夫、給事中。從大駕東征,七年還,拜太僕。明帝即位,進爵樂平侯,邑千戶,轉衛尉。分邑百戶,賜一子爵關內侯。

武皇帝智勇過人,而用兵畏敵,不敢輕之若此也。夫兵好進惡退,常然之數。平地無險,猶尚艱難,就當深入,還道宜利,兵有進退,不可如意。今屯渚中,至深也;浮橋而濟,至危也;一道而行,至狹也:三者兵家所忌,而今行之。賊頻攻橋,誤有漏失,渚中精銳,非魏之有,將轉化為吳矣。臣私慼之,忘寢與食,而議者怡然不以為憂,豈不惑哉!加江水向長,一旦暴增,何以防禦?就不破賊,尚當自完。奈何乘危,不以為懼?事將危矣,惟陛下察之!
