Chen Xi shuddered at the thought. If Yuzhou had been under Yuan Shu's control, he could have easily toyed with it, burying piles and piles of his pieces there. If not for the fear of being collectively attacked, Chen Xi would certainly have taken Yuzhou for himself—it was a place with abundant population and food!
If Sunx Ce took over the area, do you know what the situation of a trapped dragon soaring to the skies would be? At the very least, Chen Xi definitely did not want to face that scenario. With Xuzhou next to Yuan Shu and Chen Deng present, Chen Xi was hardly worried, but placed next to Sunx Ce, he felt that he would have to redirect at least a third of his strength there just to secure Xuzhou.
