Before Liu Bei died in Yong'an in 223, Liu Bei made up his mind to repair the wounds caused by the Battle of Yiling with the State of Wu.
Zhuge Liang, the chancellor, was in charge of the Shu state, and in order to prevent Sun Quan from repenting, he sent Deng Zhi to make an alliance with the state of Wu to repair it.
Before Deng Zhi left, he resigned to Zhuge Liang, who told him about the main tasks of the trip, and secretly instructed Deng Zhi on a secret task: he must take Zhang Yi back to China.
Deng Zhi arrived in the Kingdom of Wu, finally met Sun Quan after many hardships, and made an excellent pact with Eastern Wu.
Sun Quan was very pleased to arrange for Zhang Wen to send an envoy to the Shu kingdom, and set up a banquet to drink with Deng Zhi.
When he was happy, Deng Zhi opened his mouth and pleaded: "Great King, we still have a person stranded in the Kingdom of Wu, named Zhang Yi, and hope that the Great King can be released and returned to China." ”
Sun Quan had never heard of this person's name, thought that he was a nameless person, and agreed to it.
Afterwards, Sun Quan sent someone to investigate, knowing that this person had been stranded in wu for several years, but did not have any reputation, so he did not care.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "Zhuge Liang sent Deng Zhi to make Wu, and Liang Lingzhi could follow the power to invite his descendants." Descendants from Wu for several years, exiled and hidden, Quan did not know also, so Xu Zhi sent descendants. ”

Who is Zhang Yi who can make Zhuge Liang pay so much attention?
Zhang Yi was a Sima under the account of Liu Zhang, the former Assassin of Yizhou, who was familiar with the subset of the history of the scriptures and the "Records of History" and the Book of Han, and was especially respected by Xu Wenxiu, a Runanese who entered Shu, and was publicly promoted as a figure like Zhongyuan Zhongxuan in Hanzhong.
Zhang Yi then went all the way, first being recommended as a filial piety, then serving as the county magistrate of Yufu County, and later being transferred to the Yizhou government as a state bureau, and concurrently serving as a subordinate Sima because of his outstanding political achievements.
During the period of stalemate with Liu Zhang, the strategist Pang Tong was killed in battle, and Liu Bei then sent Zhang Fei to lead his troops into Shu to support, and Liu Zhang sent Zhang Yi to lead troops to block Zhang Fei under Deyang Mo, but was defeated by Zhang Fei and returned to Chengdu.
Liu Zhang decided to surrender, so he sent Zhang Yi to meet Liu Bei.
Zhang Yi, as Liu Zhang's envoy, was not humble and reached a peace agreement with Liu Bei, and Zhang Yi proposed that Liu Bei must treat Liu Zhang's subordinates kindly, and Liu Bei agreed.
Liu Bei was very appreciative of Zhang Yi's performance this time, and when he entered Chengdu, he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
Liu Bei appointed Zhang Yi as the Taishou of Ba County, concurrently serving as the general of Sijin Zhonglang, responsible for the manufacture of agricultural tools and weapons.
Soon, just when Zhang Yi was about to take up the post of Taishou of Ba County, Yong Min plotted to kill Taishou Zhengang of Yizhou County, and then moved around to find connections, and even had the idea of defecting to Sun Quan, hoping to serve as Taishou of Yizhou County.
However, the imperial court eventually decided that Zhang Yi would be made the Taishou of Yizhou County, and Zhang Yi would then be ordered to take up his post.
Yong Min was very depressed in his heart, and he intercepted Zhang Yi under his hands and then gave it to Sun Quan.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "Zhang Fei entered from Jingzhou from the Mat River, zhang conferred on the army, refused Zhang Fei to go under Deyang, the army was defeated, and returned to Chengdu. For the sake of Zhang's envoys, the Lord promised to honor his king and appease his people, and the people were returned, and the gates of the city were opened. The ancestors of the lord were descendants of BaJun Taishou, and also as the general of Sijin Zhonglang, who was used as a weapon for agricultural warfare. ”

As a result, Zhang Yi wandered in Eastern Wu in anonymity for several years, not daring to show his talent at all.
It is said that Sun Quan is after all a Hero, and before leaving, he still wants to see who Zhang Yi really is.
When Zhang Yi came to the palace, Sun Quan asked Zhang Yi, "There is a widow of the Zhuo family in Bashu who ran away with Sima Xiangru. Is the atmosphere in Shudi so bad? ”
Zhang Yi returned: "The widowed woman of the Zhuo family is much stronger than the wife of Zhu Maichen of your Hui county, right?" ”
Sun Quan ridiculed the bad customs in Shudi, and Zhang Yi used Zhu Maichen's wife's refusal to stay poor instead of lip service.
Sun Quan was speechless, so he asked, "After you return to China, you will never become an ordinary man and end up in the city." If you fly yellow, how are you going to repay me? ”
Zhang Yi knelt down and prostrated his head, saying, "When I returned to the Shu Kingdom with the body of sin, I naturally let the imperial court fall." If you are lucky enough to save your life, then the previous life was given by your parents, and the years after that were given by the king. ”
Sun Quan was very satisfied with Zhang Yi's answer, chatted with Zhang Yi for a long time, admired Zhang Yi's talent very much, and regretted releasing him.
After Zhang Yi left the palace, he regretted that he did not pretend to be confused, believing that Sun Quan would assassinate himself, so he hurried to speed up the journey day and night with his envoys.
Sure enough, Sun Quan regretted letting go of talents like Zhang Yi, lest such talents gain power in the Shu kingdom and be unfavorable to Eastern Wu in the future, so he hurriedly sent people to assassinate Zhang Yi.
However, Zhang Yi had already entered the Yong'an Realm in the territory of the Shu Kingdom for dozens of miles, and the killer did not succeed in catching up with Zhang Yi in the end.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "Quan Yan smiled and rejoiced, and had the color of an instrument." Descendants out of the house, deep regret can not be fooled, even if it is on the boat, double the road at the same time. Quan Guo chased after it, and the descendants had entered the Yong'an Realm for tens of miles, and the pursuers could not reach it. ”

Zhang Yi returned to the Shu kingdom, was highly respected by Zhuge Liang, and was appointed to join the army as the Governor of Xiangfu, acting as the administrative director of Xiangfu, and concurrently serving as the governor of Yizhou.
Later, Zhuge Liang was often stationed in Hanzhong, and Zhang Yi was appointed as the governor of the Xiangfu Prefecture and presided over the work of the Xiangfu.
Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with Zhang Yi's work, and Zhang Yi also admired Zhuge Liang very much, often praising: "Xiang Xiang rewards those who do not leave out estranged, punishes those who are intolerant and close, officials and lords do not get credit, criminal law cannot be avoided because of wealth, and talented people and mediocre people do their best." ”
Zhang Yi once went to Hanzhong to report to Zhuge Liang, and hundreds of vehicles came to see him off, so that the door was blocked by cars.
But Zhang Yi was very self-aware, believing that everyone just admired Zhuge Liang and was the light of Zhuge Liang.
Zhang Yi humorously said to his family: "I set off for Hanzhong, and there were too many people to send me off, so that I was too busy with the reception to rest, and I didn't want to get rid of the face, but I tired my son enough." ”
Later, Zhang Yi was promoted to the rank of general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, and still served as the governor of the XiangFu, becoming a figure second only to Zhuge Liang in the imperial court.
Unfortunately, in the eighth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang died, and Zhuge Liang was very sad, and finally he had no choice but to quickly promote Jiang Huan to the throne.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "Even to Shu, Cheng Xiangliang thought that he would join the army, handle government affairs, and lead Yizhou to govern the middle. Liang was stationed in Hanzhong, and the lieutenant of the School of Shooting Sound led the governor of the government...
The fish boy believes that no matter how talented, in the end, it is still the body that must do it. Look at Sima Yi, you know that the body is the key to success.
