After Liu Bei seized Yizhou, he obtained a large number of talents, including Xu Jing, Dong He, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Wu Yi (i.e., Wu Yi), Fei Guan, Peng Yi, Liu Ba and others.

【Xu Jing】

Xu Jing, whose name is Wenxiu, was a native of Pingyu County, Runan (now Pingyu County, Henan Province), was a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period, and Xu Jing's younger brother Xu Shaoju was famous for his evaluation of characters, and was later recommended by Liu Yi as filial piety and honesty, and Ren Shangshulang.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he was reused, and promoted a large number of talents together with Zhou Yu, the secretary of the ministry, and later because of the rebellion of Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Miao, Han Fu and others whom they promoted, Dong Zhuo executed Zhou Bi, Xu Jing was afraid, so he successively defected to Kong Ling, Chen Yi, Xu Gong, Wang Lang and others, and took refuge in Jiaozhou with his family before Sun Ce attacked Wang Lang, and was treated by Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie.

Chen Guoren Yuan Hui once recommended Xu Jing to Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, and then Zhang Xiang was ordered by the king to send an envoy to Jiaozhou, wanting to recruit Xu Jing with his own power, trying to make an oath with Xu Jing, Xu Jing refused to agree, but contacted Cao Cao himself, Zhang Xiang resented Xu Jing for not using it for himself, and searched the letter sent by Xu Jing to Cao Cao, and then threw them all into the water.

Later, Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, sent an envoy to recruit Xu Jing, and Xu Jing entered Shu from there, and was appointed by Liu Zhang as the Taishou of Bajun and Guanghan. When Song Zhong wrote a letter to the Taishou Wang Shang of Shu County in Jingzhou, he said: "Xu Wenxiu is extraordinary and talented, and you should take him as a model. Later, Xu Jing succeeded Wang Shang as the Taishou of Shu County.

In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei led his army to besiege Chengdu, and Xu Jing attempted to surrender across the city, but the matter was leaked and unsuccessful. Liu Zhang did not execute Xu Jing because Yizhou was about to fall. After Liu Zhang surrendered, Liu Bei looked down on Xu Jing because of Xu Jing's betrayal of the master, and did not appoint him.

Fa Zheng persuaded Liu Bei: "There are people in the world who have won fame but have no real virtue, like Xu Jing. However, today, the lord has started to create a great cause, and it is impossible for the people of the world to explain it door to door, and Xu Jing's false name has spread all over the world, if he can't be treated politely, the people of the world will say that the lord is despising the virtuous. Therefore, Xu Jing should be treated with respect, so as to show that you are following the ancient Yan Zhao King's practice of treating Guo Kui favorably. Liu Bei then treated Xu Jing favorably and appointed Xu Jing as the chief of General Zuo.

【Dong He】

Dong He, the word Youzai. A native of Zhijiang County, Nanjun (now Zhijiang, Hubei).

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong He led his family to move westward. Under Liu Zhang, he successively served as the magistrate of Niu Ying, the county magistrate of Jiangyuan and the county magistrate of Chengdu, and during his tenure, he set an example and improved the atmosphere of advocating luxury. Later, he moved to Yizhou Taishou, got along well with ethnic minorities and won their love. In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei captured Yizhou and ordered Dong He to be the general in charge of the army, and jointly presided over the affairs of his own palace with Zhuge Liang.

【Huang Quan】

Huang Quan, whose name is Gongheng, is a native of Langzhong, Brazil (now Langzhong, Sichuan). Huang Quan was a county official when he was young, and was later summoned by the governor Liu Zhang, who advised Liu Zhang not to welcome Liu Bei, so he was exiled as the magistrate of Guanghan County. After Liu Zhang was defeated and surrendered, Huang Quan surrendered to Liu Bei and was worshiped as a partial general.

【Li Yan】

Li Yan, later renamed Li Ping, the word is square, a native of Nanyang. As a young man, he was a full-time clerk in the county and was known for his talents. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao asked him to serve in the counties in the county. When Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, Li Yanzheng was the county commander of Zigui, so he went west to Shu, and Liu Zhang used him as the county commander of Chengdu and gained a reputation for being capable.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Liu Zhang appointed Li Yan as the protector to resist Liu Bei in the Mianzhu area. As a result, Li Yan led his subordinates to surrender to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei appointed him as General Pi. After pacifying Chengdu, Li Yan was appointed as the general of Qianwei Taishou and Xingye. Because Yizhou is under the governance of Liu Zhang, the law and discipline are relaxed, the morality and politics are not raised, and the punishment is not suppressed. Liu Bei then ordered the general Zhuge Liang, the general of Yangwu and the Taishou Fazheng of Shu County, the general of Zhaowen Yi, the general of Zuo, Xicao Peng, Liu Ba and Li Yan to formulate the "Shu Branch", which later became the basis of the legal system of Shu Han.

【Wu Yi】

Wu Yi (also known as Wu Yi), the word Ziyuan, Yanzhou Chenliu County (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province), his uncle Wu Kuang is a subordinate of the Eastern Han Dynasty general He Jin, that is, after He Jin's death, he and Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Min killed He Miao together.

Liu Yan moved to Yizhou as a pastor, and Wu Yi took the whole family to Shu with Liu Yan because his father had a good relationship with Liu Yan. Later, Liu Yan had the idea of becoming the emperor on his own, and the person who was good at face said that Wu Yi's sister Wu would have a very noble status in the future, so he asked his son Liu Mao, who followed him into Shu, to marry Wu.

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), Liu Bei led his people to attack Liu Zhang and occupied Fucheng in Guanghan County. In the following year, Liu Zhang sent Wu Yi, who was then a Zhonglang general, and Liu Zhang's generals Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian to lead troops to fight Liu Bei's army in the area of Fuxian, but they were all defeated by Liu Bei, and the armies retreated to Mianzhu. Wu Yi led his army to surrender to Liu Bei and was appointed as a rebellious general.

In the summer of the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, worshiped Wu Yi as a protector, and married Wu Yi's sister Wu, who was a widow at the time, as his wife.

【Fei Guan】

Fei Guan, the word Binbo, was a native of Jiangxia County (now Luoshanxi, Henan). When Liu Zhang sent an envoy to greet him, Guan entered Shu with his brother Fei Boren. In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (215), Fei Guan, who was more than 20 years old, joined the army as Li Yanjun, and together with Li Yan, he guarded Mianzhu, the last barrier in Chengdu, to resist Liu Bei. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, he appointed Fei Guan as a general.

Because Liu Zhang's mother is also Fei Guan's aunt, and Liu Yan later married her daughter to Fei Guan, Fei Guan is not only Liu Zhang's cousin, but also Liu Zhang's brother-in-law. He is also the patriarch of Fei Yi, one of the four phases of Shu Han.

【Peng Yi】

Peng Yi, whose name is Yongnian, is a native of Guanghan (now Guanghanbei, Sichuan).

Peng Yi first served as a scholar in Yizhou, but when others slandered him to Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, Liu Zhang punished him with "tongs" (shaving off his hair and beard and putting on torture instruments) and degraded him as a slave.

At this time, Liu Bei entered Shu, and Peng Yi wanted to take refuge in Liu Bei, so he went to see Pang Tong. Pang Tong admired him very much after meeting him, and Fa Zheng also knew Peng Yi very well, so the two jointly recommended Peng Yi to Liu Bei. Liu Bei ordered Peng Yi to pass on military information and instructions to the generals many times, and his performance was very satisfactory and was increasingly appreciated. Liu Bei entered Yizhou, and after receiving Yizhou, he appointed him to govern the state.

【Liu Ba】

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao appointed Liu Ba as Peng after going south to Jingzhou, and asked him to recruit the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in the south of Jingzhou.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao soon failed at Chibi, and the four counties of Jingnan were also occupied by Liu Bei. At that time, Zhuge Liang was in Linhao, and Liu Ba wrote to Zhuge Liang: "I, Liu Ba, took advantage of the danger and adventure, and I wanted to obey the people in the sky, let the counties of Jingzhou return to Cao Gong, and let the world return to unity." But people attach too much importance to morality, or consider self-interest, which is not something that my wisdom can dissuade. If I really can't help it, I will wander the world, swim in ~ the sea by boat, and never care about Jingzhou anymore. ”

Zhuge Liang chased the book and persuaded Liu Badao: "Liu Gongxiong is talented in the world, he has already owned most of the land in Jingzhou, everyone is not going to return to their hearts, the will of heaven and personnel, which one to go, is already very clear, where do you want to go?" Liu Ba said: "I came here on the mission of Cao Gong, and if I don't succeed, I will go back, this is a matter of course, why should you ask?" So he went to Cochin County. After Liu Bei learned that Liu Ba had left the country, he hated it deeply.

After arriving at Jiaozhi, Liu Ba changed his surname to Zhang. Later, he disagreed with Jiaozhi County Taishou Shixie, so he entered Yizhou through the Qiqi Road, and served under Liu Zhang, after Liu Ba advised Liu Zhang not to welcome Liu Bei into Shu, but was refused, and then Liu Bei really sent Liu Zhang, captured Yizhou, Liu Zhang was defeated, lost the battle and surrendered, and Yizhou fell into the hands of Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei entered the siege of Chengdu, he ordered the army: "If anyone endangers Liu Ba, I will kill him and the three clans." After Liu Bei seized Yizhou, Liu Ba apologized to Liu Bei and admitted his mistakes, Liu Bei showed generosity, did not blame Liu Ba, and was happy to get a talent like Liu Ba. Zhuge Liang also praised Liu Ba's talent many times, and Liu Bei appointed Liu Ba as the left general Xi Cao Peng.
