為璋奉使詣先主，先主許以禮其君而安其人也，裔還，城門乃開。 Zhang Yi went to Liu Bei as Liu Zhang’s envoy; Liu Bei pledged to honor Zhang’s lord and spare the people, whereupon Yi returned and the gates were opened.

先主以裔巴郡太守，還為司金中郎將，典作農戰之器。 Liu Bei first made him governor of Ba, then recalled him as general of the household for metals to oversee farm tools and weapons.

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.
