Ye Xiong, who went out of the city to fight Lu Bu, was in the prime of his blood and strength, and he thought that he had a big knife across Xiliang for many years, and he had not yet met an opponent, so he didn't pay much attention to Lu Bu, who had not yet become famous at that time.

Ye Xiong and Lu Bu are both Han generals, although they have made an appointment to compete before the battle, they both know that this kind of competition must not hurt the other party's x-ng life, otherwise it will cause many disputes between Bingzhou and Liangzhou afterwards. Therefore, at the beginning of the fight, when the two of them fought, they were mainly tempting and did not use all their strength.

Ye Xiong didn't look down on Lu Bu, and Lu Bu didn't take Ye Xiong seriously. When the two of them had the intention to keep their hands, the big knife and Fang Tian's painting halberd touched each other painlessly, only a "clanging" sound, and it was also half a catty. So the two of them gradually strengthened and used the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box.

As the moves of the two became sharper and sharper, Lu Bu and Ye Xiong both sensed the difficulty of the other party, so they went all out and no longer kept it. After more than 20 moves between the two sides, Lu Bu suddenly used all his strength, and slashed at Ye Xiong's right hand carrying the knife, Ye Xiong hurriedly turned his horse away, but he didn't want to be hit by Lu Bu's calculation of attacking the west, and Lu Bu slapped the back with the side of Fang Tian's halberd, and fell off the horse with a "poof".

There is no doubt that Ye Xiong, who fell off the horse, lost this battle. When the Flying Tiger Army saw Lu Bu winning, they immediately shouted in unison, "General Lu is mighty!", while the Xiliang soldiers at the head of the city were a little depressed and silent.

"General Lu is strong and powerful, Ye has lost!" Ye Xiong is also a cheerful man, and he took the initiative to admit that he couldn't beat Lu Bu. "I'll go back to the city and order someone to send grain, grass and wine, and I hope that General Lu will keep his promise and leave early tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that Ye Xiong had admitted defeat and promised to supply the army outside the city, Lu Bu didn't say much, and let Ye Xiong turn over and walk towards Gaoping City. When Ye Xiong was about to enter the city, Lu Bu shouted: "General Ye stays, Lu has something to say." So Ye Xiong turned around and waited for Lu Bu to speak.

"In the future, I will go to Zuli to fight with the Qiang people, and in a few days I will lead the Qiang people around Gaoping, I don't know if the general dares to order someone to cut off the back road of the Qiang people, you and I will join forces to break the Qiang people?"

"If General Lu can lure the Qiang people to take the bait, Ye will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to accumulate military merits!" Ye Xiong replied without hesitation.

"Okay, General Ye is really fast, we'll see you in the future!" Lu Bu said.

After the two finished talking, Ye Xiong entered the city. In a short time, the city sent a quantity of grain, grass and wine, which, despite its mediocre taste, relieved the fatigue of the soldiers after a day's journey.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Bu Yiyan led the army to leave Gaoping and went to Zuli, the first piece of Zuli that needed to be defeated with real swords and guns since the dispatch of the army.

Zuli is located in the southeast of Wuwei County, nearly 100 miles away from Gaoping, and 100 miles away from Yuzhong and Jincheng occupied by Bian Zhang and Han Sui, and already belongs to the sphere of influence of the rebel Qiang people. The Giant Bear tribe also began to be attacked by the Qiang people after they entered Wuwei County, until they were besieged and annihilated by the Qiang people when they reached Zhangye.

This time, since the Flying Tiger Army is under the banner of revenge for the Giant Bear Tribe, it naturally can't run away in vain without blood, and Zu Li is the place where the Flying Tiger Army starts.

Cunning and capricious, the Western Liangqiang were not good at defending the city, but liked to spread their men and tribes around the city and stationed them in the wilderness outside the city, they were full of confidence in their cavalry, and never worried that the Han people would be able to break through their defenses and rush into Zuli City.

The last time Dong Zhuo led a large army to attack the territory of the Qiang people, he was defeated and scattered when he hit Yuzhong, and the whole army was almost wiped out, because the wolf pack tactics of the Qiang people made the Han army suffer. The heavy cavalry division of the Flying Tiger Army under Lu Bu also fell into the siege of the Western Liangqiang people because of the light enemy's advance, and if it wasn't for Zhao Xing's timely charge of the whole army, he almost suffered a catastrophe.

In order to deal with the wolf pack tactics of the Xiliang Qiang people in a small area, Lu Bu and his subordinates Hu Che'er, Li Yi and Guo Changzi conducted a sand table deduction afterwards, and the final conclusion was that it was easy not to venture into the center of the Qiang army, and the tactic of "flying kites" was the best way to restrain the wolf pack tactics of the Qiang people.

This time, Lu Bu captured more than 100 Xiliang Qiang people from Niyang and Linjing City, the purpose was to use them as a "kite line" to pull the Qiang people out of the tribe one by one and annihilate them in the movement.

After arriving at Zu Li's periphery, Lu Bu ordered his subordinates to pick out dozens of Qiang people, and after a fat beating with blood flowing, they were all driven to Zu Li like ducks. These Qiang people have some connections with the Qiang people in Zuli, and some are even the descendants of the rebel Qiang people, hiding in Niyang and Linjing City to provide information and buy materials for the Qiang people in the Zuli area. They were taken by the Han people to Zuli and beaten inexplicably, and then put them back, which is a blatant m-n provocation and humiliation.

The unlucky Qiang people who returned to the tribes reported to the patriarch one after another, saying that the state had sent soldiers and horses to take revenge on the giant bear tribe, claiming to set foot on the Qiang tribes in Jincheng and Wuwei. After these words came out, they immediately aroused the anger of the arrogant and fierce Xiliangqiang people, and various tribes sent tribesmen who could fight well to find the Flying Tiger Army, who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Lü Bu, who was waiting for work, saw that Jī's method of angering the Qiang people worked, so he began to lead the Qiang people by the nose and play a game of "kite flying" in the Zuli area.

The tactic of flying a kite uses the sh-range of one's own horses and bows and arrows, and the key is to maintain a distance that the enemy "cannot catch up with and cannot escape". The Flying Tiger Army, which has been training with the Xianbei people in the northern desert for several years, can be said to be all good kite flyers, and they directly tossed the Qiang people to death.

At the beginning, the cavalry sent by the Qiang tribes rushed towards the Flying Tiger Army with murderous spirit and fearlessness, and the Flying Tiger Army immediately turned its horse and ran back. After running a certain distance, the Qiang people could not catch up with the Flying Tiger Army, which was faster than rabbits, so they had to turn around and return with a curse. But once they turned around and walked back, the side that had fled for their lives turned out to be pursuers, hanging behind them and desperately firing cold arrows, killing many clansmen.

The red-eyed Qiang people swore in their hearts that they must catch this group of rat-like Han people, and then desperately chou the horses under their crotches, and chased the Flying Tiger Army to less than twenty miles away from Gaoping in one go. When they were about to return to the station, the second group of Qiang people with blue noses and swollen faces who had been beaten were released again, and the patriarchs of several tribes were so angry that they vomited blood and fainted.

The Qiang people are like gambling sticks with red eyes, they can't care about anything, they just pour out of the nest, and they have to eat the Flying Tiger Army alive to relieve their anger. So one side pursued lifelessly, and the other side changed horses and fled gracefully, and this chase and escape actually went around Gaoping City to Pengyang, which was only twenty miles away from Linjing, where the Flying Tiger Army had left.

Ye Xiong, who was guarding Gaoping, originally thought that Lu Bu was joking, but he didn't expect to really attract tens of thousands of Qiang people to go around the city and pursue the Flying Tiger Army like crazy.
