    十九年五月,權征皖城。閏月,克之。獲廬江太守朱光及參軍董和,男女數萬口。是歳劉備定蜀。權以備已得益州,令諸葛瑾從求荊州諸郡。備不許,曰:「吾方圖涼州,涼州定,乃盡以荊州與吳耳。」權曰:「此假而不反,而欲以虛辭引歳。」遂置南三郡長吏,關羽盡逐之。權大怒,乃遣呂蒙督鮮於丹、徐忠、孫規等兵二萬取長沙、零陵、桂陽三郡;使魯肅以萬人屯巴丘〈巴丘今曰巴陵。〉以御關羽。權住陸口,爲諸軍節度。蒙到,二郡皆服,惟零陵太守郝普未下。會備到公安,使關羽將三萬兵至益陽,權乃召蒙等使還助肅。蒙使人誘普,普降,盡得三郡將守。因引軍還,與孫皎、潘璋並魯肅兵並進,拒羽於益陽。未戰,會曹公入漢中,備懼失益州,使使求和。權令諸葛瑾報,更尋盟好。遂分荊州、長沙、江夏、桂陽以東屬權,南郡、零陵、武陵以西屬備。備歸,而曹公已還。權反自陸口,遂征合肥。合肥未下,徹軍還。兵皆就路,權與淩統、甘寧等在津北爲魏將張遼所襲,統等以死扞權。權乘駿馬越津橋得去。〈《獻帝春秋》曰:張遼問吳降人:「向有紫髥將軍,長上短下,便馬善射,是誰?」降人答曰:「是孫會稽。」遼及樂進相遇,言不早知之,急追自得,舉軍嘆恨。《江表傳》曰:權乘駿馬上津橋,橋南已見徹,丈餘無版。谷利在馬後,使權持鞍緩控,利於後著鞭,以助馬勢,遂得超度。權旣得免,即拜利都亭侯。谷利者,本左右給使也,以謹直爲親近監,性忠果亮烈,言不苟且,權愛信之。〉
