It stands to reason that even if Liu Bei and Liu Biao's men are added, they will not be able to pose much of a threat to Liu Yuan.

Why would Liu Yuan give up such a good opportunity so easily?

In fact, Cao Cao didn't look too carefully because of the urgency.

But Liu Yuan opposite him really saw that what appeared behind Cao Cao was not two Liuzi flags, but three Liuzi flags.

There are indeed three princes surnamed Liu in the alliance of princes, in addition to Liu Bei and Liu Biao, there is also a Chongzhou Mu Liu Dai, but Liu Dai's banner is a dark green Liu character banner.

Now the new Liuzi banner in Liu Biao and Liu Beijun, but the vermilion Liuzi banner appeared in Liu Yuan's mind at the first time.

That person was Liu Yan, the Yizhou Mu who didn't show up even if the princes were asking for Dong before, and it was precisely because of Liu Yan's appearance that Liu Yuan ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

It's not that Liu Yan is so powerful, but because of Liu Yan's appearance, Liu Yuan feels that there is no need to risk a decisive battle with the princes' coalition forces at this time.

Because it stands to reason that Liu Yan should not have the ability to appear here at this time, after all, next to Yizhou, there is also a bad neighbor named Zhang Lu.

If Liu Yan didn't solve Zhang Lu, or if he reached an agreement with Zhang Lu, then Liu Yan would definitely not be able to send troops to reinforce Cao Cao and others.

Now that Liu Yan has come with his men and horses, and the scale is not small, it shows that his existence has made most of the princes in the world feel threatened!

Even old enemies like Zhang Lu and Liu Yan temporarily put aside their previous fights with each other because of their threats, and turned to deal with themselves with all their might.

Then at this time, perhaps behind the three princes surnamed Liu, there will be a larger army being assembled, and he must not insist on forcibly attacking Cao's army.

If he ordered to attack Cao's army, his own men and horses would definitely be entangled with Cao Cao's men and horses.

If you fail to withdraw in time and are surrounded by the newly joined princes with their troops, you will become yourself who will suffer heavy losses at that time.

Although it seems a pity to give up this opportunity now, Liu Yuan is very confident that as long as he looks patiently, he will definitely find a better opportunity to break the enemy in the future.

That's why he chose to stop this attack, and the choice of the Jizhou army made all the Cao army breathe a sigh of relief, just now they were ready for the annihilation of the whole army.

Now they can surviving unexpectedly, which is already the greatest gift from God to them, but at this time, Liu Yuan, who was evacuating, suddenly turned back on the horse.

I saw that in Liu Yuan's hands, there was already an open big bow, and on the big bow, a sharp arrow overflowing with cold light was gathering momentum, only to hear Liu Yuan shout:

"Cao Zixiao, today he dared to secretly injure a certain general! If I can't let you leave something, what else will I have to go back to see Meng Qi! Cao Ren, you will die for Ben Hou! ”

As Liu Yuan said this, he let go of the bowstring that his left hand had been pulling tightly, only to hear a "buzz", and a sharp arrow flew towards Cao Ren's throat.

Cao Ren was originally immersed in the joy of near-dying, and he didn't expect Liu Yuan to come to such a hand.

It wasn't until the arrow was about to reach his body that he reacted a little.

In fact, at this time, Cao Ren's mind had given up on survival, after all, the sharp arrow shot by Liu Yuan was too close to him, and he couldn't think of any way to escape.

But his physical instinct did not give up to survive, Cao Ren almost subconsciously twisted his body to the left, and made a seemingly futile but extremely wonderful dodge.

The sharp arrow shot by Liu Yuan slashed along the skin on his neck.

The sharp arrow slashed a wound about half an inch deep on the right side of Cao Ren's neck, and a stream of red blood remained along the wound at that time.

I only heard Cao Ren shouting, "My life is over!" Then his body fell directly from the horse, which frightened Cao Hong beside him.

Cao Hong didn't care about Liu Yuan's possible next attack, and immediately turned over and dismounted and hugged Cao Ren in his arms.

But when he checked Cao Ren's injuries, Cao Hong became a little crying and laughing.

Cao Ren's injuries at this time cannot be said to be serious, but they will never kill him.

It seems that Cao Ren subconsciously thought that his neck was shot through by Liu Yuan, so he was scared into the way he is now.

This kind of behavior has made Cao Ren lose face and throw himself at his grandmother's house, but Cao Hong doesn't have the heart to think about it, as long as his eldest brother can escape with his life, he thinks everything is worth it.

Immediately, Cao Hong picked up Cao Ren, who was frightened, and fled back towards the army formation.

While fleeing, he kept praying, hoping that Liu Yuan would never attack again.

Fortunately for him, until he fled back to his army's main array, Liu Yuan did not attack them again, so he let him run back with Cao Ren.

At that time, Cao Hong was eager to look up to the sky and laugh a few times to celebrate that he and his eldest brother were able to escape from the clutches of death.

However, there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, he didn't understand why Liu Yuan would let them go?

In fact, Liu Yuan was also a little laughed and cryed by Cao Ren's performance, he clearly saw that the feather arrow he shot did not directly kill Cao Ren.

But Cao Ren's next performance made him a little dazed, which gave Cao Hong a chance to escape.

When Liu Yuan thought that Cao Ren was actually stunned by himself, Cao Hong and Cao Ren had already run out of his attack distance.

This made Liu Yuan feel both sorry and a little funny in his heart, but he didn't expect that Cao Ren, who was extremely majestic in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, would be frightened by his own arrow and fall unconscious.

It seems that he has now become a lingering nightmare in Cao Jun's heart, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for Cao Ren to have such a humiliating performance.

But now that the best chance to kill the opponent has been lost, there is no need to be obsessed with it, and the most important thing now is to return to the camp.

He had to hurry up and discuss with Feng Xiao and Zhicai to see if he could send someone to find out, and this time the opposite side joined several coalition forces.

If only Liu Yan joined all the princes, then he didn't have to be too nervous.

But if things really go in the worst direction, then you have to make adjustments in time!

Liu Yuan led the people to slowly retreat towards the camp, and at this time Cao Cao also saw Liu Yan who had just come to support.

It was only then that he understood why they had been able to snatch a life from the Grim Reaper.

It turned out that it was the arrival of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, which made Liu Yuan have some scruples in his heart, so Liu Yuan would give up such a good opportunity to annihilate himself and choose to collect troops and return to the camp.

Such a life actually made Cao Cao feel a little ashamed, he never thought that he, Cao Mengde, would need other people's charity to survive one day!
