Dear brothers, I wish you a happy New Year, all the best, and may your family be healthy!

Shen Bing smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice:
"You underestimate your father too much."
"If we want to leave at this time, I'm afraid we will alert others."
When Shen Bing said this, Princess Wuyou understood.
She gritted her teeth and said:
"If not, I will take you out as a princess."
"If necessary, the general can also consider using me as a hostage!"
Shen Bing smiled and said:
"If I, Shen Bing, take the princess as a hostage to escape, how can I have the dignity to propose marriage in the future?"
Princess Wuyou glared at Shen Bing:
"It's such a life-and-death situation, but you still have the heart to joke!"
In fact, Princess Wuyou said this, but she was quite impressed by Shen Bing's fearlessness in the face of danger.
What Princess Wuyou didn't know was that Shen Bing was not afraid of danger, but he had found a solution when Princess Wuyou came.
Shen Bing took a glass of wine from Princess Wuyou and asked:
"Princess, does she know how many people the Huns envoys are and where they are staying?"
Princess Wuyou nodded and said:
"There may be more than a hundred people at Baishan Villa."
Shen Bing casually took the map that Yu had made before from the case, placed it in front of Princess Wuyou, and asked:
"Princess, can you point out its location?"
Princess Wuyou glanced at the map, pointed at a place and said:
"This is where it is."
Then he asked doubtfully:
"General, why do you ask these questions?"
Shen Bing remembered the position, nodded and said:
"Princess, please come back. Shen Bing will handle the rest."
Princess Wuyou immediately knew what Shen Bing was going to do. She looked at Shen Bing in surprise and said:
"The general is..."
"This is absolutely impossible. If you kill the Huns envoys, how can your father let you go?"
Shen Bing smiled, raised his glass, took a sip of the fragrant wine, and asked:
"If we kill the Huns envoy, what other choice does the king have except letting us go?"
Princess Wuyou was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.
What Shen Bing said makes sense. If the two countries go to war without killing the envoy, if they kill the envoy, it means that there is no room for negotiation and they can only meet each other in war.
It is true that King Qiuci can be said to have killed the Huns envoys by the Qin army.
But if the Qin army killed the Xiongnu envoys in Kucha...how could anyone believe it without the support of the King of Kucha?
So the hesitant King Qiuci could only choose to form an alliance with Qin instead of the Xiongnu.
As a result, Shen Bing and the others were able to save their lives.
After thinking about this, Princess Wuyou respected and admired Shen Bing in her heart.
Before that, Princess Wuyou had been worried about how to face Shen Bing in the future.
Because if King Qiuci surrendered to the Xiongnu and became the enemy of the Qin army, then a marriage between Qiuci and the Qin army would be absolutely impossible.
Not only is it impossible, Princess Wuyou will also be caught in a dilemma.
With Father on one side and Shen Bing on the other, who can I help?
In other words, even if Princess Wuyou can successfully help Shen Bing escape, the fate of the two of them will be over.
However, Shen Bing's sudden move turned decay into magic:
As long as King Qiuci can be forced to side with the Qin army, all problems will be solved.
Of course Princess Wuyou didn't know that this was not Shen Bing's original creation.
A few years later, Ban Chao envoy Shanshan (the original name of Loulan was renamed in the Han Dynasty) encountered a similar problem. King Shanshan received Ban Chao and the Huns envoys at the same time and was undecided between the two.
After Ban Chao heard about this, he did not stop and led his men to attack the location of the Huns envoys at night and cut off the head of the leader of the Huns envoys.
Seeing that the situation was dead, King Shanshan had no choice but to form an alliance with the Han to fight against the Huns.
At this time, Shen Bing was just copying the original plan.
Princess Wuyou thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said:
"It's indeed a good plan, but you can't think of it."
"only……"
As she spoke, Princess Wuyou looked around and said:
"You can't wait for more than twenty people, but the Huns have more than a hundred people, several times as many as you..."
"How about I bring in more people?"
Shen Bing shook his head and said:
"Shen Bing appreciates the princess's kindness."
"However, the princess herself is under the king's surveillance. If you mobilize your troops, you will alert the king immediately."
"By then we will have failed!"
Princess Wuyou could only nod helplessly and said:
"In this case, the general must be careful."
"My little girl is waiting for good news in the palace!"
Watching Princess Wuyou leave, Shen Bing felt a little sad.
This must be the first time that Shen Bing trusts someone so completely and confidently.
Looking back on the past, even when dealing with his subordinate Shen Bing, he always had reservations.
There is no other reason. Shen Bing knows that the battlefield is a place where he does everything he can, and he cannot be careless at any time, even for Fusu.
But now, Shen Bing feels that Princess Wuyou is an exception.
Of course, this is actually a helpless move.
Shen Bing's identity was exposed when Chu and his party came to find her. If Princess Wuyou was not trustworthy, Shen Bing would have become a prisoner long ago.
Seeing Shen Bing in a daze, Yu stepped forward and reminded:
"General, it's getting late, I should prepare early!"
Shen Bing came to his senses and said "hmm", collected his thoughts and then ordered:
"You go and find out the location of the hidden sentry in Kucha first!"
Yu immediately replied:
"It has been discovered that there are four secret sentinels in total."
"Divided into four parts: east, west, north, south!"
As he spoke, he pointed out the location of the secret sentry on the map, and then continued:
"These secret sentries are keeping an eye on the four directions we can leave."
"If the general wants to attack the Xiongnu without alerting Qiuci, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"
Shen Bing couldn't help but frowned when he looked at these points.
Things are indeed as good as what Yu said. The rooms where Shen Bing is located have been watched closely by Qiuci secret sentries, and there are even several guards standing downstairs taking turns guarding them.
But the Xiongnu's residence is several miles away. If the guards were alerted from the beginning... Wouldn't it be a joke to want to sneak attack on the Xiongnu?
After thinking about it, Shen Bing pointed at the map and asked:
“Is the wooden building next to me occupied?”
Hu replied:
"There is no one living there. There is only one building in the south direction where the envoys of Wensu Kingdom live!"
Yu found out clearly, and Shen Bing gained a new understanding of his meticulousness.
Shen Bing nodded and said:
"This is easy to handle!"
"We will first use the rope and arrow to reach the nearby wooden building, and then leave from that wooden building."
Su's eyes lit up and he looked at Shen Bing with his mouth half-opened. His eyes were full of surprise and surprise. After a while, they turned into admiration and shame.
No wonder Yu behaved like this.
The ropes and arrows equipped by the Shenwu Army have always been used to cross mountains or climb city walls. Who would have thought that they could also be used to move from one building to another to avoid enemy eyes and ears?
At least I didn't expect it, that's why I said "it's not easy".
However, Yu did not expect that his so-called "not easy task" would be nothing in front of the general.
