Liu Bei and Cao Cao's rivalry seems... to appear clearer....

Guan Yu proves to be a brave warrior that can do what no other can... slay Hua Xiong. Liu Bei and Cao Cao's conversation here seems to further hint at a future rivalry between the two as both are ambitious but have a different notion of how to achieve their own ambitions. Sun Quan, the son of Sun Ce, is so cute and intelligent. I will like to see more of him as the series progresses.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao, hmm!

It seems I was quite right to assume that the two of them had quite different perspectives in regards to the essential matters. As I can see at this point in the drama, I think that the rivalry between the two of them shall be shown at some point: because they seem to strive for the same thing, and yet each one of them has different measures, principles, and ways of achieving that certain thing. Also, I can't help but like both Cao Cao and Liu Bei. They had both fascinated me from the beginning, albeit the fact that they are different. Unknowingly, they are philosophical as well. Bumps up -it was a majestic episode!
