《百战奇略·第七卷·挑战》
邓羌向苻黄眉建议说： 姚襄此人为人任性固执，容易被激怒，我们如果派一支部队假装声势浩大地去进攻他，兵临城下，他必定出兵迎战，我们就可以活捉了他。 
邓羌曰： 襄性刚愎，易以挠动。若长驱一行，直压其垒，襄必忿而出战，可一战而擒也。 
Deng Qiang suggested to Fu Huangmei, "Yao Xiang is a stubborn and obstinate person who is easily provoked. If we send a force to pretend to attack him with great fanfare, he will surely send out troops to meet the attack when we reach his city, and then we will be able to capture him alive."
