"Why are you so anxious to go to the border?" Tu Yufan shook his head and said, "Stationing at the border this time to fight against the Wu tribe, whether you win or lose, it will not be a good thing for you."

If he wins, the emperor will be wary, after all, the prince holds military power and there have been precedents of rebellion in previous dynasties. If he loses, he loses his reputation and future, and even if it is his turn to be emperor one day, he will still be criticized.

If you can’t even defend a city, how can you defend a country?

In the original plot, he won, so he was feared by the emperor. Even though he fought back hard in the end, he still left a stain on history.

Of course, whether it is a stain or not, it is just a posthumous reputation. When Tu Yufan thought about it this way, he felt that it was no big deal.

"Dad, I've thought about all this. I'm just an idle prince in the capital. It's better to be feared than ignored. At worst, I'll overthrow it all and let these idiots step on me. It's better for me to sit in this position myself." His tone was ruthless, and he turned to mock him, "These brothers of mine have long been restless. Your Majesty hates forming cliques and private businesses. He wanted to give me military power to give them a lesson. Your Majesty had no hope for me from the beginning and just treated me as a discarded pawn. After all, the situation at the border is serious, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and the people are in panic. Sending the prince is also a way to show that they value the border and appease the army. As for our safety, they don't care."

The word "idiot" was taught to 㨾湛㱕 by Tu Yufan.

Tu Yufan thought, it’s a pity that they don’t understand the male protagonist’s halo. The military power is like throwing a meat bun at a dog, it’s gone and never comes back.

"When you went to join the army, I also told you to be careful, but to be honest, I'm not worried about your safety at all. After all, I raised you, so I naturally know how capable you are. In this world, no one can be your opponent except me." Tu Yufan patted his shoulder and said earnestly.

Yu Zhan was choked for a long while before he slowly said, "It's only a matter of time before I defeat you."

Tu Yufan took a look at Yu Zhan's unconvinced look and thought that he was still too young and hot-tempered. As time went by, he would realize that the word "sooner or later" was far away.

When Yu Zhan left, in order to let the people see that the royal family valued him, the emperor led the princes and civil and military officials to see him off. Everyone had different expressions, most of them were jealous or disdainful.

Tu Yufan was watching this scene in the restaurant, wondering if these people's expressions would change again when his troops returned triumphantly.

......

Three years later, Yu Zhan reversed the decline of Yan State on the border, won great victories over the Wu tribe in several consecutive battles, and finally forced them to retreat a hundred miles. He gained great prestige on the border. When the two sides ceased fighting, he led a group of elite troops, sneaked into the enemy's hinterland, lay in ambush for one night, and captured the leader of the Wu tribe who was out.

Because the leader of the Wu tribe was captured, several of its princes fought for power, which triggered a civil strife among the Wu tribe, causing the tribe to split into four parts and each to rule its own territory. After this incident, Yu Zhan continued to guard the border for several months, and no one dared to invade.

The Emperor of Yan State now began to feel uneasy, and regretted countless times why he had sent Yu Zhan to the border. If his prestige at the border was any indication, he might not even be able to match that of this Emperor.

The emperor thought back on how he had not had a single day of peace of mind since he became the emperor. The reduction of the power of the feudal lords led to a turmoil in the palace and he was forced to flee the capital. This was a great humiliation for him. Later, the reduction of the power of the feudal lords led to chaos in the palace. A few years later, the warlords of the Three Continents began to cause unrest again. After the rebellion was suppressed, the Wu tribe repeatedly invaded the border of the Yan State.

After experiencing many similar things, he always felt that Yu Zhan was a sword hanging over his head. One day, he would lead the army to attack the palace, stare at him with vicious eyes, and force him to abdicate.

After all, he was not close to this son at all. If he had known this earlier, he would not have recognized him. No! He should not have been allowed to live in the first place.

"Someone, call Concubine Wan over."

The emperor woke up again in the middle of the night, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and asked the eunuch to call Concubine Wan over.

When Concubine Wan was on the way, she knew that the emperor asked her to come over because of Yu Zhan.

He never thought that his good son would actually make a name for himself on the border, surpassing even the rhinoceros.
