Chapter 229 Pei Qing's hint
"What's the solution?" Ma Chao asked quickly after hearing what Ma Teng said.
"There is only one way, that is, Proton. I want Proton to go to Pei Piqin to express my respect and loyalty. Only in this way can he not target me, and he may even support me. I have Pei Piqin's acquiescence or support. On the one hand, I have no worries about Sanfu, so I can concentrate the troops there in Longxi and Hanyang. On the one hand, I threaten Han Yue, and on the other hand, I can also seize Wuwei. Hehe, this Wuwei is not only next to Jincheng, but also to my Hanyang. Once Wuwei is seized, it is equivalent to shaking Han Yue's throat. How dare he not respect me at that time?"
"Ah? Mass, proton? But the younger brothers are still too young. How cruel is it to let them leave their father like this? If something happens, wouldn't they be in danger?" Ma Chao was very surprised when he heard this and quickly said in a lost voice.
But Ma Teng sneered and said, "Who said that you should take your younger brothers as your protons? Since I regard my son as my protons, of course I should choose the most brave and threatening Pei Piqiu to be the protons?"
"What? Let me go, let my child go? Father, you have to think twice. If I go to Chang'an, I will definitely die there. Although my ability like my child is not as good as that of Wei Yan, I can count it in this world. How could Pei Qing not beware of me?"
Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this. He objected loudly, saying that he didn't want to go.
However, Ma Teng said, "Only you can feel at ease when you go to Pei Piqi, otherwise I will not be trusted by Pei Piqi. In addition, you should not be too arrogant to yourself. In Pei Piqi's army, you think you are extremely capable, but after you arrive in Chang'an, there are no counts of Pei Piqi? How can he like you? You are too arrogant to yourself, right? Chao'er, for our poor foundation, for your younger brother and sister, you still have to suffer some grievances, otherwise you will let your father go to Chang'an? In fact, it was not impossible for me to go there, but after this time I realized that you were so reckless. If you were asked to command Yongzhou, it would not take long for you to defeat my foundation."
Ma Teng is really disappointed with Ma Chao now. He heard Ma Chao's soldiers and Pang Rou, who fled back with Ma Chao, tell in detail about Ma Chao's various performances in this battle. They were cruel and easy to kill, and threatened to massacre the city. As a result, even if the other party intends to surrender, they changed their minds. Relying on their own courage, they were brave but not resourceful at the critical moment, and they were easily deceived by others. When they led their army to attack others, they didn't know how to guard them, but they were attacked by others at night to defeat tens of thousands of troops. All these performances are enough to prove that Ma Chao is still a brave but not resourceful man. Such a reckless man has no ability to command tens of thousands of troops in Yongzhou, and he is even more unable to compete with the heroes in order to gain a more favorable position for his side.
Since this is the case, it would be better to send him to Chang'an. On the one hand, we will visit more celebrities, learn from them and improve our wisdom, and on the other hand, of course, it is also to let Pei Qing see his sincerity.
Although Ma Chao showed strong opposition, Ma Teng insisted on doing so, and Ma Chao had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, and went back to pack his clothes with grievances, preparing to go to Chang'an to be his proton.
"When the child leaves, father, don't start a war against Pei Qing without authorization, otherwise the child's life will be left there."
Before leaving, Ma Chao repeatedly told Ma Teng that his life could be placed in his father's thoughts.
In fact, Ma Teng is also a cold-hearted person. Although he hates this eldest son on the surface, he still loves him very much. However, for the sake of the overall situation and to train his son, he asked him to go to Chang'an.
Ma Chao came to Chang'an with a sigh and finally met Pei Qing after a month.
In fact, since he fought with Pei Qing, it has only been half a year in total. However, in this half year, Ma Chao discovered that Guanzhong has changed a lot. Although the population is still slightly sparse, there is almost no abandoned land. The people have lived and worked in peace and prosperity.
I have to say that Ma Chao still admires Pei Qing very much now, because since the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Guanzhong has rarely had this kind of atmosphere.
"This Pei Qing is indeed not simple. He can restore Guanzhong to this state in just half a year. I have never seen anyone with such strong internal affairs ability. This person is not only skilled in martial arts, amazing wisdom, but also has such strong internal affairs ability. Few people in the world are his opponents. Letting me go to Chang'an is not equivalent to driving a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? Alas, after I arrive in Chang'an, I must be careful and hold my tail and be a good person. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't know how I die."
From then on, Ma Chao began to become cautious, at least not as arrogant as before. He entered Chang'an City, came to Pei Qing's mansion, and respectfully saluted Pei Qing: "The young general Ma Chao, on the order of his father, Yongzhou Governor Ma Teng, came to Pei Gong's tent to obey the orders. Please ask Pei Gong to give more suggestions. The young general is grateful."
Ma Chao thought Pei Qing would not be very good to him, but he didn't expect Pei Qing to smile and let him avoid the gift. Then he held his hand and said, "I have heard that Ma Chao, the son of Ma Shoucheng, is extremely handsome. Today, he saw that he is indeed well-known. Come on, I will introduce you. This is Fan Lin, the leader of my escort, and this is Xu Chu, and the leader of the escort."
"Major General, okay." Fan Lin nodded politely to Xu Chu, but Xu Chu grinned with a big mouth with a look of disdain on his face. He had no idea that in the Romance, he was arranged to have a wonderful single challenge with the young man in front of him. In history, because he was by his side, this young man was afraid of him and did not dare to attack Cao Cao rashly.
Ma Chao quickly lowered his head and returned the respectful greeting, but he didn't see Xu Chu's expression at all, which made Xu Chu feel a little like walking in the night.
"This is Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, the general of the Fenwei Central Committee. You have seen it before, so you should get closer in the future."
"Ah?" After hearing Pei Qing's words, Ma Chao suddenly felt embarrassed and his face flushed. In the battle with Wei Yan before, he suffered humiliation and sarcasm, but he had to admit that Wei Yan's ability was indeed stronger than him, so Ma Chao was very embarrassed now and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Wei Yan smiled calmly and said, "Major General, we won't know each other until we fight. Please take care of us in the future."
"Uh... General Wen Chang is so serious. Chao still needs more care for you, General." Ma Chao smiled bitterly and quickly returned the favor. He had already had a psychological shadow on Wei Yan now.
"Haha, Meng Qi, you don't have to be humble. I still believe in your martial arts. I want to be the Cavalry Commander, serve under my account, and make contributions in the future. I will inevitably win a wife and a son. I wonder if you are willing?"
"I am willing, of course I am willing. Thank you for your conscience." Ma Chao originally thought he was imprisoned, but he didn't expect that he could still be an official. He was overjoyed and immediately saluted Pei Qing respectfully and said excitedly.
"Haha, you have to be polite. If Meng Qi is such a talent, it would be a pity that he will give up and use it. I look forward to the day when you make achievements and return to Lingzun in the future."
