"What's the solution?" Hearing Ma Teng say this, Ma Chao hurriedly asked.

"There is only one way, that is, proton, I want to proton to Pei Hussar's place to express my respect and loyalty, only in this way, he will not target me, and may even support me, I have Pei Hussar's acquiescence or support, on the one hand, there is no need to worry about Sanfu, you can concentrate the army there in Longxi and Hanyang, on the one hand, threaten Han Yue, on the other hand, you can also seize Wuwei, hehe, this Wuwei is not only next to Jincheng, but also next to my Hanyang, once you capture Wuwei, it is equivalent to choking Han Yue's throat, How dare he disrespect me then? ”

"Huh? Quality, proton? But the younger brothers are still too young, how cruel is it to let them leave their father's side like this? If something happens, won't they be in danger? Ma Chao was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said in a lost voice.

saw Ma Teng sneering: "Who said that you want to use your younger brothers as protons?" Since I take the son as a hostage, of course I have to choose you, the most courageous and the most threatening to Pei Hussar, to be the proton? ”

"What? Let's, let the children go? This, father, father, you have to think twice, if I go to Chang'an, I will definitely die there, although the ability of a child is not as good as that Wei Yan, but it can be counted in this world, how can Pei Qing be unguarded against me? ”

Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and he objected loudly, saying that he didn't want to go.

However, Ma Teng said: "Except for letting you go to Pei Hussar to rest assured, otherwise I will not get Pei Hussar's trust, and you don't think too highly of yourself, in Pei Hussar's army, you think you have extraordinary ability, but after you arrive in Chang'an, you can't count at all, what kind of person is Pei Hussar?" How does he fancy you? You think too highly of yourself, don't you? Chao'er, for the sake of our poor inheritance, for the sake of your younger brothers and sisters, you still have to suffer some grievances, or you let your father go to Chang'an? In fact, it was not impossible for me to go, but after this time I realized that you said that you were so reckless, if you let you rule Yongzhou, it won't be long before you will lose my foundation. ”

Ma Teng is really disappointed with Ma Chao now, he listened to the soldiers around Ma Chao and Pang Rou, who fled back with Ma Chao, described in detail Ma Chao's various performances in this battle, cruel and easy to kill, threatening to slaughter the city, but the other party changed his mind even if he intended to surrender; Relying on his own bravery, but at the critical moment, he was brave and unscrupulous, and was easily deceived by other people's words; When he led the army to attack others, he didn't even know how to take precautions, and as a result, he was beaten to pieces by a night attack by tens of thousands of troops. All kinds of performances are enough to prove that the current Ma Chao is still just a brave and unscrupulous man, and a reckless man like this is simply not capable of commanding tens of thousands of troops in Yongzhou, let alone being able to fight in the juxtaposition of the heroes, in order to strive for a more advantageous position for himself.

Since this is the case, it is better to send him to Chang'an, on the one hand, visit those celebrities more, learn from them, improve their wisdom, and on the other hand, of course, let Pei Qing see his sincerity.

Although Ma Chao showed strong opposition, Ma Teng insisted on this, and Ma Chao had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, and went back to pack his bags full of grievances, preparing to go to Chang'an to be his proton.

"When the child leaves, father, you must not start a war against Pei Qing without authorization, otherwise the child's life will be entrusted there."

Before leaving, Ma Chao told Ma Tengqian everything, because his life was all pinned on his father's thoughts.

In fact, Ma Teng is also a cold-hearted and hot-hearted character, although he hates this eldest son on the surface, but he still loves it very much in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, and at the same time to train this son, he let him go to Chang'an.

Ma Chao came to Chang'an with three sighs, and finally met Pei Qing after a month.

In fact, since he was fighting Pei Qing until now, it has only been half a year, but in this half a year, Ma Chao found that Guanzhong has changed greatly, although the population is still slightly sparse, but there is almost no abandoned land, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a thriving atmosphere.

I have to say that Ma Chao still admires this Pei Qing very much, because since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there are few such atmospheres in Guanzhong.

"This Pei Qing, it's really not simple, in just half a year, Guanzhong can be restored to this state, I have never seen such a strong person with such strong internal affairs ability, this person is not only strong in martial arts, amazing in resourcefulness, but also has such a strong internal affairs ability, there are few people in this world who are his opponents, let me go to Chang'an, isn't it equivalent to driving sheep into the tiger's mouth? Alas, after I arrive in Chang'an, I have to be careful and careful, and be a good person with my tail between my legs, otherwise, I am afraid that I don't know how I died. ”

Ma Chao began to become cautious from then on, at least on the surface he was 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 Thorn Shi Ma Teng, came to Pei Gong's account to listen to orders, and asked Pei Gong to mention more, the young general is grateful." ”

Ma Chao thought that Pei Qing's look towards him would not be too good, but he didn't expect Pei Qing to let him be exempt with a smile, and then took his hand and said: "I have long heard that Ma Shoucheng's son Ma Chao is heroic and extraordinary, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, come on, I will introduce you to you, this is Fan Lin, the leader of the middle army under my account, this is Xu Chu, and he is also the leader of the middle army." ”

"Major General, okay." Fan Lin nodded politely to Xu Chu, but Xu Chu was grinning with a look of disdain on his face, he didn't know that in the romance, he was arranged to have a wonderful single challenge with the young man in front of him, and in history, because he stayed by Cao Cao's side, this young man was afraid of himself, and he didn't dare to rashly attack Cao Cao.

Ma Chao hurriedly lowered his head and saluted respectfully, not seeing Xu Chu's expression at all, which made Xu Chu suddenly feel a little bit of a brocade night walk.

"This is Wei Yan Wei Wenchang, you have seen it before, you will be closer and closer in the future."

"Huh?" After listening to Pei Qing's words, Ma Chao suddenly felt embarrassed, his face was flushed, in the previous battle with Wei Yan, he lost his troops and suffered humiliation and sarcasm, but he also had to admit that Wei Yan's ability was indeed stronger than himself, so Ma Chao was very embarrassed now, and he couldn't find a crack to get into.

Wei Yan said with a flat smile: "Young General, we don't know each other if we don't fight, please take care of me in the future." ”

"Uh...... General Wen Chang's words are serious, and I still need you to take care of the general. Ma Chao smiled bitterly and hurriedly returned the salute, he now has a psychological shadow on Wei Yandu.

"Haha, Meng Qi, you don't have to be modest, I still believe in your martial arts, I want to worship you as a cavalry captain, serve under my account, and make meritorious contributions in the future, I can't help but have a wife and a son, I don't know if you are willing?"

"Yes, of course the last general is willing, thank you Pei Gongcheng." Ma Chao originally thought that he was imprisoned, but he didn't expect to be able to be an official, which was really overjoyed, and immediately saluted Pei Qing respectfully, and said with excitement on his face.

"Haha, you're welcome, Meng Qi is such a talent, if you abandon it like this, it's a pity, I'm looking forward to the day when you make contributions in the future and return to Ling Zun's side."

"Huh? This ......" Ma Chao was even more surprised when he heard this, because Pei Qing was hinting to him that as long as he worked hard, as long as the credit he made was high enough, he could be put back.
