    彧年少時,南陽何顒異之,曰:「王佐才也。」〈《典略》曰:中常侍唐衡欲以女妻汝南傅公明,公明不娶,轉以與彧。父緄慕衡勢,爲彧娶之。彧爲論者所譏。臣松之案:《漢紀》云唐衡以桓帝延熹七年死,計彧于時年始二歳,則彧婚之日,衡之沒久矣。慕勢之言爲不然也。臣松之又以爲緄八龍之一,必非苟得者也,將有逼而然,何云慕勢哉?昔鄭忽以違齊致譏,雋生以拒霍見美,致譏在於失援,見美嘉其慮遠,並無交至之害,故得各全其志耳。至於閹豎用事,四海屛氣;左悺、唐衡殺生在口。故于時諺云「左迴天,唐獨坐」,言威權莫二也。順之則六親以安,忤違則大禍立至;斯誠以存易亡,蒙恥期全之日。昔蔣詡姻于王氏,無損淸髙之操,緄之此婚,庸何傷乎!〉永漢元年,舉孝廉,拜守宮令。董卓之亂,求出補吏。除亢父令,遂棄官歸,謂父老曰:「潁川,四戰之地也,天下有變,常爲兵衝,宜亟去之,無久留。」鄕人多懷土猶豫,會冀州牧同郡韓馥遣騎迎之,莫有隨者,彧獨將宗族至冀州。而袁紹已奪馥位,待彧以上賔之禮。彧弟諶及同郡辛評、郭圖,皆爲紹所任。彧度紹終不能成大事,時太祖爲奮武將軍,在東郡,初平二年,彧去紹從太祖。太祖大恱曰:「吾之子房也。」以爲司馬,時年二十九。是時,董卓威陵天下,太祖以問彧,彧曰:「卓暴虐已甚,必以亂終,無能爲也。」卓遣李傕等出關東,所過虜略,至潁川、陳留而還。鄕人留者多見殺略。明年,太祖領兖州牧,後爲鎭東將軍,彧常以司馬從。興平元年,太祖征陶謙,任彧留事。會張邈、陳宮以兖州反,潛迎呂布。布旣至,邈乃使劉翊告彧曰:「呂將軍來助曹使君撃陶謙,宜亟供其軍食。」衆疑惑。彧知邈爲亂,即勒兵設備,馳召東郡太守夏侯惇,而兖州諸城皆應布矣。時太祖悉軍攻謙,留守兵少,而督將大吏多與邈、宮通謀。惇至,其夜誅謀叛者數十人,衆乃定。豫州刺史郭貢帥衆數萬來至城下,或言與呂布同謀,衆甚懼。貢求見彧,彧將往。惇等曰:「君,一州鎭也,往必危,不可。」彧曰:「貢與邈等,分非素結也,今來速,計必未定;及其未定説之,縱不爲用,可使中立,若先疑之,彼將怒而成計。」貢見彧無懼意,謂鄄城未易攻,遂引兵去。又與程昱計,使説范、東阿,卒全三城,以待太祖。太祖自徐州還撃布濮陽,布東走。二年夏,太祖軍乘氏,大饑,人相食。
