"Alright, in Liu Bei's eyes, the only ones who could be causing such urgency for Lub Su and Chen Xi are Lyu Bu and Yuan Shao. Lyu Bu needs no mention, although he has withdrawn his troops from Cao Cao due to food shortages, it doesn't mean he won't cause trouble for Liu Bei."
"In fact, Liu Bei fears Lyu Bu even more than Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao has land and food, power and influence, and brains. He wouldn't violently clash with Liu Bei at this time, but Lyu Bu is different—he is a lone wolf, not caring about Liu Bei's might when hungry."
"In Liu Bei's view, if a battle were to erupt at Mount Tai now, there's a ninety percent chance it would involve Lyu Bu, desperate due to lack of food and ready to gamble everything."
