After Zhuge Liang came to power, internal and external troubles, lack of talents, although Liu Bei and Sun Quan have reunited, but there are still many variables in the alliance between the two, the rebellion in the south of Yizhou has the shadow of Jiangdong, so Zhuge Liang is worried about this, and he doesn't know who to send to contact Sun Quan.

After that, Deng Zhi took the initiative to ask Ying, and Sun Quan also sent Zhang Wen to communicate with him, and the relationship between the two sides was stable.

【Contact Sun Wu】

In the third year of Zhang Wu (223), Liu Bei died of illness in Yong'an. Previously, in the face of Cao Pi's large-scale invasion, Sun Quan sent an envoy to ask for peace in order to repair the cracks caused by the Battle of Yiling, and Liu Bei also sent Song Wei and Fei Yi to Wu to respond, and the two countries were initially reconciled.

However, now that Liu Bei has passed away, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang is worried that Sun Quan's attitude will change after learning the news, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. At this time, Deng Zhi met Zhuge Liang and said: "Now that the lord is young and has not reigned for a long time, he should send envoys to re-establish his relationship with Eastern Wu." Zhuge Liang replied: "I thought about it for a long time, I don't know who to appoint, and now I have found it." Deng Zhi asked who it was, and Zhuge Liang said, "It's you!" So he sent Deng Zhi as an envoy to Wu State.

After Deng Zhi arrived, Sun Quan was really puzzled, and if he didn't meet Deng Zhi immediately, Deng Zhi asked to see Sun Quan himself: "The minister is also here for Wu State, not just for Shu Han. Sun Quan then met him and said to Deng Zhi: "I originally sincerely wanted to make peace with Shu Han, but I am afraid that the Han lord is young, the country is small and the general situation is difficult, if Cao Wei takes advantage of the weakness to attack, he will not be able to protect himself, so I feel very hesitant." ”

Deng Zhi replied: "Where Wu and Shu combine and own four states, you are a world-famous hero, and Zhuge Liang is also a particularly outstanding talent in contemporary times. Shu has a heavy danger to hold, Wu has three rivers to block, combining these two strengths, become a state of lips and teeth, advance can seize the world, retreat can stand on its feet, this is natural common sense. If the king wants to commit himself to Wei now, Wei must ask the king to enter the court to worship, at least ask the prince to go as a proton, if you do not obey the order, there will be a reason to crusade, and our country will definitely see the advantage and march downstream, so that the land south of the Yangtze River will no longer be owned by the king. Sun Quan pondered for a long time before saying, "What you say is very true! He severed relations with Wei, made peace with Han Lian, and sent Zhang Wen to visit. After Deng Zhi sent the envoy, he also asked Sun Quan to return to the Zhang descendants of Shu, and Sun Quan also agreed.

At that time, Zhang Wen sent an envoy to Shu as a general of Fuyi Zhonglang. Sun Quan said to him: "You shouldn't go far away, but I'm worried that Zhuge Liang doesn't understand my intentions for dealing with Cao Cao, so I wronged you to travel." If all the disasters in Shanyue are eliminated, we will attack Cao Pi in a big way. The doctrine of being a messenger is to accept commands but not words. ”

Zhang Wen replied: "I have not made a plan for a trusted minister in China, and I have no ability to deal with it on my own in travel diplomacy, and I am afraid that I do not have the ability of Zhang Meng to spread the reputation of the country, and I have no effect of explaining the affairs of the child." However, Zhuge Liang is well-informed and good at planning, and must understand your divine thoughts and expedient measures, coupled with the grace of the imperial court, speculating on Zhuge Liang's heart, there will be no suspicions. ”

After Zhang Wen arrived in Shu, he went to the court to present a seal and said: "In ancient times, Shang Gaozong held a funeral but made Yin Shang Guozuo revival and prosperous again, and King Cheng of Zhou was young but made the Zhou Dynasty rule the world peacefully. Now Your Majesty is equal to the ancient sages with his wise qualifications, and the virtuous ministers are in charge of government affairs, and the elite of the Manchu Dynasty are like the stars, and people from near and far look up to your demeanor, and they all come to rely on it with joy. Wu Guo diligently traveled the army and national strength to stabilize the land south of the Yangtze River, hoping to unify the world with the king of the Tao, and conspired with the same rules and regulations, just like the river without hesitation. It is only because of the frequency and ferocity of the fighting that we have too few troops to serve in the army, so we have to endure the humiliation imposed by the despicables. Now send the subordinate Zhang Wen to dredge the situation to express friendship. Your Majesty is a proprietor and should not be ashamed to ignore my request. From the distant frontier to the outskirts of your capital, I have been frequently received with special gifts from your country, and my edicts have been passed on continuously, and I am terrified, surprised, and disturbed by this honor. I have the honour to dedicate a letter from my Lord to His Majesty. Shu Han valued Zhang Wen's talents, and when he was about to return from Shu Han, all the civil and military officials of Yizhou went to pay for him.

When Zhang Wen returned, Shu Han sent Deng Zhi to Wu again, and Sun Quan said to Deng Zhi: "Wouldn't it be very happy if the two monarchs ruled separately when the world was peaceful." Deng Zhi said to him, "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the earth." If after the fall of the Wei State, the king has not yet understood the Mandate of Heaven. The ruler exalts his benevolence, the servant gives his loyalty, and the commander holds the drum and beats the drum, and the battle has just begun. Sun Quan laughed and said, "You are indeed very sincere. Sun Quan said in a letter to Zhuge Liang: "Ding Quan's rhetoric is extravagant and flashy, and the yin cannot be exhausted; The only person who can reconcile the two countries is Deng Zhi. ”

In addition to Deng Zhi, Zhuge Liang also sent Jiangdong with Ding Xuan, Chen Zhen and others as envoys, Ding Xuan was a local celebrity in Yizhou, and Chen Zhen later contacted Sun Quan, Shu and Wu to share the world.

Since then, envoys and letters from Wu and Shu have been exchanging constantly. There was something to exchange news, and Sun Quan, the king of Wu, often ordered Lu Xun to tell Zhuge Liang; Also carved a seal of his own place in Lu Xun, King Wu wrote a letter to the queen of Shu Han or Zhuge Liang, often showed Lu Xun first, the severity of the words, whether the matter is acceptable, if there is something inappropriate, that is, Lu Xun corrected, and then sealed it with a seal.

【Shu-Wu Compound】

When Liu Bei died, Shu Han was worried about internal and external troubles, so he urgently needed to reunite with Sun Quan, and for Sun Quan, Shu Han's active contact was also unwanted, and under the pressure of Cao Pi, Sun Quan also needed other allies at that time.

After the defeat of the three-way attack on Wu, Cao Pi did not give up the use of force to put pressure on Eastern Wu, but maintained the suppression of Sun Quan for a long time, Jiangdong could only defend passively, and the situation was not good, so Sun Quan gladly accepted Zhuge Liang's kindness. At that time, Shu Han was in civil strife, and Eastern Wu also took the opportunity to intervene, taking Yonghong as Yongchang Taishou, but it did not further stimulate Shu Han, and the action ended here, and Zhuge Liang and other Shu Han officials also seemed to know nothing about it, and the two sides maintained friendship in face.

After the loss of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang's policy and policy basically revolved around the previous "Longzhong pair", and it was still his basic policy to reach out to Sun Quan and confront Cao Cao, although there were changes in other aspects, but the most basic ones did not change.

After reuniting with Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang recuperated, first quelled the rebellion in the south and stabilized the internal situation, and later sent troops to Hanzhong when Cao Wei changed his lord to defeat his old enemy.
