    青州黃巾衆百萬入兖州,殺任城相鄭遂,轉入東平。劉岱欲擊之,鮑信諫曰:「今賊衆百萬,百姓皆震恐,士卒無鬬志,不可敵也。觀賊衆羣輩相隨,軍無輜重,唯以鈔略爲資,今不若畜士衆之力,先爲固守。彼欲戰不得,攻又不能,其勢必離散,後選精銳,據其要害,擊之可破也。」岱不從,遂與戰,果爲所殺。〈《世語》曰:岱旣死,陳宮謂太祖曰:「州今無主,而王命斷絕,宮請說州中,明府尋往牧之,資之以收天下,此霸王之業也。」宮說別駕、治中曰:「今天下分裂而州無主;曹東郡,命世之才也,若迎以牧州,必寧生民。」鮑信等亦謂之然。〉信乃與州吏萬潛等至東郡迎太祖領兖州牧。遂進兵擊黃巾於壽張東。信力戰鬬死,僅而破之。〈《魏書》曰:太祖將步騎千餘人,行視戰地,卒抵賊營,戰不利,死者數百人,引還。賊尋前進。黃巾爲賊久,數乘勝,兵皆精悍。太祖舊兵少,新兵不習練,舉軍皆懼。太祖被甲嬰冑,親巡將士,明勸賞罰,衆乃復奮,承間討擊,賊稍折退。賊乃移書太祖曰:「昔在濟南,毀壞神壇,其道乃與中黃太一同,似若知道,今更迷惑。漢行已盡,黃家當立。天之大運,非君才力所能存也。」太祖見檄書,呵之罪,數開示降路;遂設奇伏,晝夜會戰,戰輙禽獲,賊乃退走。〉購求信喪不得,衆乃刻木如信形狀,祭而哭焉。追黃巾至濟北。乞降。冬,受降卒三十餘萬,男女百餘萬口,收其精銳者,號爲青州兵。
