The king behind the empress

Chapter 230 Wei Huang, Commander of the Habayashi Army
The Habayashi Army is also the emperor's guards. The word Habayashi means "wings for the country, like the prosperity of the forest". It has been the most reliable armed force in the hands of the emperor throughout the ages.

Because it was not convenient for Tang Weilu to enter the barracks, Mo Zizai only brought Zhou Qi and Qiu Wuping to the barracks this time.

Just on the way close to the Habayashi Army camp, Mo Zizai had already spotted several groups of guards patrolling and reconnaissance outside, and after seeing that the target of the three seemed to be the barracks, those guards even came to question them once.

However, after confirming Mo Zizai's identity, the reconnaissance guards separated several people to escort Mo Zizai all the way to the camp.

"The Habayashi Army is really well-defended."

Several miles away, there were cavalrymen from the Habayashi Army patrolling outside for scouting. Wei Huang's vigilance made Mo Zizai sigh.

"It should be General Tang's matter that made Commander Wei more vigilant."

Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, and said: "After all, the Habayashi Army is the last military force of the Great Zhou."

"That's true."

Mo Zizai nodded, Feng Weijun suddenly had an accident, the Habayashi Army who was originally in charge of defending the capital, suddenly became the leader, and Wei Huang was under a lot of pressure now.

After all, if the Habayashi Army disappeared suddenly like the Fengwei Army, then Da Zhou would basically be gone.

After arriving at the gate of the camp, Wei Huang, who had already received the news, greeted him early, but because Mo Zizai told him not to make any noise, he was the only one who came to greet him.

After seeing Mo Zizai, Wei Huang did not go forward to salute. After all, in his capacity, if he saluted Mo Zizai, it would be tantamount to telling everyone that Mo Zizai is here.

So he just swung back the Habayashi guards who were escorting Mo Zizai, and then took Mo Zizai directly to the camp of the Chinese army.

"The last general, Wei Huang, has seen His Highness."

After entering the tent, Wei Huang knelt down on one knee without any hesitation, and made a big gift to Mo Zizai.

"Ok?"

Looking at the half-kneeling Wei Huang, Mo Zizai didn't reach out to lift Wei Huang up, but smiled wryly, and said, "Uncle Wei, you shouldn't bury me like this."

Although Wei Huang is only Mo Congyi's guard in name, in fact the relationship between the two of them is more like brothers in private. Even when Mo Zizai met Wei Huang in private back then, he had to salute as a junior. Mo Zizai would say that Wei Huang was burying him if he saluted himself.

For Mo Zizai, Wei Huang is also a trustworthy person. It is no exaggeration to say that in this capital, besides Tang Weiyi, the person Mo Zizai trusts the most is Wei Huang. They have to be ranked under Wei Huang.

"I'm not afraid that you will be angry."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Wei Huang smiled reassuringly, and without waiting for Mo Zizai to help him, he patted the dirt on his body and stood up by himself.

"You can't take it out on Uncle Wei even if you are angry."

In Wei Huang's place, Mo Zizai didn't feel too restrained, so he found a seat and sat down, "To be honest, I came to Uncle Wei this time to ask for something."

"What do you want?"

Wei Huang shook his head, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit opposite Mo Zizai, "Your Majesty has already gone, and now the Habayashi Army is yours. If you have anything to say, you can do whatever you want as long as your daughter-in-law does not object."

Wei Huang is about 50 years old this year, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a dignified appearance. He is an out-and-out old handsome guy. It is also impossible to let the handsome one choose an ugly one to be the prince's guard.

"Don't worry." Hearing what Wei Huang said, Mo Zizai laughed, "No matter what I do, she will support me."

"Ugh……"

Wei Huang sighed, and said helplessly, "I told your royal father a long time ago, it's definitely not okay to use that girl to control you."

"If your father hadn't been so ruthless and threw you into the imperial mausoleum for three years, I'm afraid the throne would have returned to you long ago."

Mo Zizai shrugged, and said indifferently: "It's just the throne, there's no need for us to disagree about it."

"You are open-minded."

Wei Huang shook his head, and didn't want to say more about it. He looked at Mo Zizai and said, "What's your reason for coming this time?"

"The thousand and six elite soldiers from Jinlian Temple and Changchun Palace."

Mo Zizai didn't go around in circles, and directly told Wei Huang about Yuan Zhi and the others looking for him.

"Qi Xiu?"

Wei Huang thought about the name Qi Xiu in his mind, then nodded slowly and said: "This man still has the ability to command troops, if these [-] elite soldiers are handed over to him, it would be appropriate."

"However, go to the three counties to pay the White Lotus Sect..."

Wei Huang pondered for a while in his mind, finally shook his head and said, "I don't recommend letting him go."

"Is it not recommended to let him go?"

Mo Zizai was taken aback for a moment, and asked a little strangely: "Why, is there any problem with Qi Xiu?"

"That's not it."

Wei Huang looked at Mo Zizai, and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, do you know who Qi Xiu's main opponent will be if he goes to the three counties?"

"I know." Mo Zizai nodded and said without thinking, "The family!"

"Ok?"

Wei Huang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Mo Zizai knew that his opponent was from a family this time, but after thinking of Tang Weiyi, he was a little stunned, "Did that girl Weiyi tell you?"

"Uncle Wei, am I that stupid?"

Mo Zizai looked at Wei Huang weakly, "I can't fail to see such a simple thing, right?"

"It seems that you have really grown up."

Wei Huang's tone was slightly emotional, but what he said made Mo Zizai very helpless. The meaning of these words meant that he was so stupid before.

"Cough cough~"

As if realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Wei Huang coughed lightly, changed the subject and said, "Since you know that there are aristocratic families behind you, then you should know that the problem of the three counties cannot be solved with just [-] elite soldiers. .”

Speaking of business, Wei Huang became more serious, "The accumulated strength of those aristocratic families is not weak. If they are really determined to make trouble, Qi Xiu and 600 people will not help the matter at all."

"It's not that I underestimate Qi Xiu's strength, but that the gap in strength is too big, and it can't be solved by strategy."

After a moment of silence, Wei Huang continued: "If you really want Qi Xiu to solve the chaos in the three counties, then I suggest that you best allocate some more people from the Habayashi Army to him, and at least 5000 people are needed. above."

"It's useless."

Mo Zizai shook his head, and said: "Since they have made a move, it is impossible not to guard against the Habayashi Army. In other words, their turmoil this time is largely aimed at the Habayashi Army."

"There are too many Habayashi troops transferred, and the defense of the capital is empty. They will transfer their targets to the capital, but if there are fewer transfers, they will directly eat these Habayashi troops and weaken the strength of the Habayashi army."

"No matter what we choose, it's all in their calculations. They just bully us because we don't have enough troops. This is a conspiracy."

"I know."

Wei Huang nodded, and his tone seemed very weak, "But we have to try it anyway, otherwise let the three counties do nothing, and when they completely mess up, it may be useless for the [-] Yulin army to attack."
