Just discover your podcast. Better late than never. It was fantastic!!!! I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for doing this.
When did Lui Bei make beef with Yuan Shu?? He dealt with Yuan Shao’s army previously I thought. Is it due to his taking of Xu from Tao Quain? I apologize for my spelling.
A few episodes back, Cao Cao sent a letter to Yuan Shu saying that Liu Bei went to the court to ask permission to attack and take over Yuan Shu’s territory (a completely made up story). Then he ordered Liu Bei “in the name of the emperor” to attack Yuan Shu. After which, when the 2 sides were fighting, the plan was for Lu Bu to be too tempted not to seize power and cause trouble. So, Yuan Shu thought Liu Bei attacked him purely out of greed and what not.
