會先主薨，諸葛亮遣鄧芝使吳，亮令芝言次可從權請裔。 When Liu Bei died, Zhuge Liang sent Deng Zhi to Wu and told him to seize an opening to ask Sun Quan for Zhang Yi’s release.

裔自至吳數年，流徒伏匿，權未之知也，故許芝遣裔。 Zhang Yi had spent years in Wu in obscurity, and Sun Quan had lost track of him, so he agreed to let Deng Zhi take him back.
