    建安初,通舉眾詣太祖於許。拜通振威中郎將,屯汝南西界。太祖討張繡,劉表遣兵以助繡,太祖軍不利。通將兵夜詣太祖,太祖得以復戰,通為先登,大破繡軍。拜裨將軍,封建功侯。分汝南二縣,以通為陽安都尉。通妻伯父犯法,朗陵長趙儼收治,致之大辟。是時殺生之柄,決於牧守,通妻子號泣以請其命。通曰:「方與曹公戮力,義不以私廢公。」嘉儼執憲不阿,與為親交。太祖與袁紹相拒於官渡。紹遣使拜通徵南將軍,劉表亦陰招之,通皆拒焉。通親戚部曲流涕曰:「今孤危獨守,以失大援,亡可立而待也,不如亟從紹。」通按劍以叱之曰:「曹公明哲,必定天下。紹雖強盛,而任使無方,終為之虜耳。吾以死不貳。」即斬紹使,送印綬詣太祖。又擊郡賊瞿恭、江宮、沈成等,皆破殘其眾,送其首。遂定淮、汝之地。改封都亭侯,拜汝南太守。時賊張赤等五千餘家聚桃山,通攻破之。
