刘先 (东汉)

刘先(?年—?年),字始宗[1]零陵郡人,原刘表帐下别驾

生平

建安五年(公元200年),袁绍南征曹操,双方先后决战于白马官渡。此时,袁绍遣人求助于刘表,刘表表示同意,却不肯派援军助战,刘表亦不肯协助曹操,只偏安汉南,欲观天下之变。 从事中郎的韩嵩与别驾刘先就向刘表劝说:“如今豪杰并争,两个雄主相持于官渡,决定天下局势的重任就在于将军。若将军是希望有所作为,就应该乘此机会起事;若不想这么做,就应选择可以跟从的人。将军拥兵十万,却坐观成败,袁绍求援,您不派兵;您也不协助曹操。无论谁胜谁负,都会怨恨而对付将军你的,届时我们就无法保持中立了。我等认为曹操贤明,有多位贤臣俊士归附,必能一举歼灭袁绍,然后就会把兵锋指向我们,恐怕将军到时也无法抵挡。如今之计,不如举荆州之众归附曹操,曹操必定会看重将军的恩德,就能长享福祚,垂之子孙,这才是真正的万全之策啊!”,蒯越等人亦劝刘表,刘表狐疑不决,便派韩嵩晋见曹操,以探其虚实。[2]刘先亦出使许都,曹操责难刘表,刘先之言让曹操无言以对,曹操任其为武陵太守。

建安十三年(公元208年),刘表病亡,其次子刘琮向曹操请降。刘先被任命为尚书曹魏建国后为尚书令[3]后事不详。建安二十二年(217年)尚书令为徐奕,未详刘先因何卸任,是否因去世而被取代。

刘先曾派外甥周不疑[4]刘巴那处学习,但为刘巴所拒。[5]
