The battlefield in Xuzhou had become a stalemate due to Long Chen's arrival.
Neither Cao Cao nor Long Chen dared to make reckless moves or launch large-scale attacks on each other.
The reason was simple: both feared significant losses among their soldiers.
It was well known that many warlords across the land were closely watching the situation in Xuzhou!
Xuzhou was a prized territory with vast fertile lands, abundant resources, and a large population.
In other words, whoever controlled Xuzhou would essentially gain a windfall, or more accurately, acquire a golden goose that laid golden eggs.
This would bring in a constant flow of wealth.
This was why, despite being a place of constant warfare, Xuzhou was highly valued by the warlords.
