Pei Qing finally agreed to Ma Chao's request and appointed Ma Chao as the governor of Yongzhou, allowing him to inherit his father and take office in Yongzhou.

Ma Chao naturally was grateful to Pei Qing and vowed to be loyal to Pei Qing.

After Ma Chao left, Tang Bohu came to Pei Qing and said, "Lord, Ma Chao is a man who is proud of his martial arts and has a high reputation among the Qiang people. He is now a proton in Chang'an, like a tiger locked in a cage. Letting him go to Yongzhou now is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. The lower officials believe that once they leave, they will definitely be rebellious in the future."

Pei Qing sighed after hearing this, "Ma Chao avenged his father's death. This is filial piety. If I stop it, it will damage my reputation. Such things cannot be done. Besides, I believe that Ma Chao is not a person who is not right or wrong. I have done his best to him now. If he still insists on rebelling, then I cannot blame me."

"..." Tang Bohu was very surprised by Pei Qing's words. He didn't expect Pei Qing to say this. However, what Pei Qing said makes sense. Maybe he was a little too worried, right?

However, Tang Bohu did not see that Hu Zhao, who was focusing on handling various affairs beside Pei Qing, had his eyes flashed.

With Hu Zhao's cleverness, of course, Pei Qing had already planned everything before Ma Chao asked him. Although Ma Chao would get Yongzhou now, and there was a great possibility that he would betray his oath and lead the crowd to rebel, this was nothing to Pei Qing, and it was even what Pei Qing expected, because if Ma Chao did not rebel, Pei Qing would not have the excuse to occupy the entire Yongzhou completely. Now Yongzhou is still in a semi-separatist state in the entire Guanlong area. Pei Qing had long been unhappy about this.

In fact, the most powerful thing about Hu Zhao is to hide his conceit. This conceit is not only about concealing his own abilities, but more importantly, he doesn't say many issues even if he understands them. In his specific strategies, he doesn't like those upright plots. He is best at all conspiracies, and he is even more good at all. He only talks about what he uses to be vicious, and he doesn't care about anything like Gan Tianhe and others.

Or to put it another way, Hu Zhao likes domineering and does not like kingly ways, which is completely different from the concepts he has read in Confucian classics. The contradictions reflected in him are extremely surprising.

Hu Zhao had already seen that Pei Qing respected Ma Chao's filial piety on the surface, but in fact he was learning from Duke Zhuang of Zheng, acquiesced or encouraged Ma Chao's ambitions. After his ambition was revealed, he would raise troops to attack him in order to end the separatist situation in Yongzhou, including Longyou.

Hu Zhao's heartfelt approval of this idea. No matter what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is enough. Now that Ma Teng is stabbed, this is an excellent opportunity and must not give up. Ma Chao thought he was able to make plans, but in the end he could only marry someone. What an interesting thing should it be?

Hu Zhao expected that it was right. Pei Qing had such thoughts now. He was not a person who could not pass on the old ways. He could not stand on the commanding heights of morality and gain tangible benefits in this matter. Why not do it?

As for Ma Chao, his current loyalty is only 50. Since he is not loyal to him, he is not sorry for him.

The most important thing is that Ma Chao’s younger siblings are now hostages in Chang'an. Once he rebels in the future, it will be like ignoring the lives of his younger siblings. It is indeed very inhumane.

But Pei Qing knew that in history, Ma Chao did do this, and as a result, his father Ma Teng and his younger brothers were all killed. Only in the Romance of the Romance was it said that Cao Cao killed him first and then rebelled.

Ma Chao had no idea that his plan had been seen by Pei Qing. He took Pei Qing's appointment to Yongzhou with great fanfare, and his heart was full of passion.

"My trip is called "Dragon Return to the Sea and Tiger Enters the Mountains". I believe that in the near future, I will not only restore my rule in the entire Yongzhou, but also lead my men to sweep the world!"

Ma Chao was extremely proud in his heart. The Dayuan BMW under his crotch was extraordinary. It took only half a day to arrive at Chen Cang.

At this time, the guards of Chen Cang were Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu’s uncle and nephew. Since surrendering to Pei Qing, the uncle and nephew have been loyal to the country and guarding Chen Cang without regrets. They have repelled the attacks of Ma Teng’s forces many times and quelled the rebellion of the bandits, which has played a positive role in defending the frontier and stabilizing public security.

Ma Chao relied on his identity and made a big move to pass the pass, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers guarding the pass, and immediately stopped him. One of the leaders said unhappily: "Do you know where this is? You dare to break through without asking about it? Who are you? Why are you out of the pass? Are there any roads? Take out what you should take out, and then wait in line for inspection. You can get out of the pass. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Of course there were procedures for Ma Chao, but he refused to take it out. He sneered, and immediately stepped forward and whipped the leader to the ground with a whip, and then laughed loudly: "I am on the order of Mr. Pei, and even Zhang Ji dared not stop me. Who are you? Do you dare to stop me? I will be happy today, just teach you a lesson. Next time I will be like this, be careful that I will take your life!"

How could the leader bear such humiliation? He immediately ordered his soldiers to surround him and take down the troublemaker and question him.

However, Ma Chao sneered, waved the spear in his hand and quickly knocked down more than a dozen people. Fortunately, he said leisurely: "I didn't kill myself for the sake of Mr. Pei, otherwise you would be dead."

The head general responsible for guarding the pass today was Zhang Xiu. He saw the noisy direction of the pass from afar. He was very surprised and quickly sent someone to inquire about what happened. When he heard that the soldiers under his command were beaten by a rebellious guy, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He ordered the soldiers to carry their guns and prepare horses, cross the horse and dance to the pass, shouted to Ma Chao: "Who are you? How dare you make a big fuss at the pass and humiliate my soldiers?"

When Ma Chao heard this, he laughed and said, "A man in charge finally came. I was ordered by Mr. Pei to go out for business, but this guy dared to stop me and asked me to line up. He despise me so much. Shouldn't he be beaten? I'm just giving him a lesson. I will definitely take his life if I offend me again next time!"

At this moment, the leader gasped and said, "General, he just said he was going out under the order of Mr. Pei, but he was going to break out without taking anything. How dare Mo Jiang let him go? This guy was so rude and started to take action. Fortunately, Mo Jiang was desperate, otherwise he might have died here today."
