    Pei Ju took Wei Yuanzhao hostage and came to Yang Zhao's army.

    Seeing Yang Zhao in such a sorry state, Wei Yuanzhao, who was held hostage by Pei Ju, looked a little unhappy.  He claimed to be a famous general of his generation. In the past, he was always high-minded and very arrogant. Unexpectedly, he failed to win the battle today and was directly held hostage by the opponent. He was really embarrassed.

    However, Yang Zhao was polite and did not look down on Wei Yuanzhao in the slightest.  He apologized to his cousin-in-law on behalf of Pei Ju, which made Wei Yuanzhao's face look bad.  However, Yang Zhao was not stupid and kept Wei Yuanzhao by his side.  Wei Yuanzhao's loyalty was too low and he could not be released, which caused chaos in the Youwu Guards.

    Yang Zhao and Pei Ju joined forces, with a total of more than 9,000 people in the Seven Army, which already included most of the forces of the forbidden armies outside the city.  Yang Zhao was worried about the situation in the city, so he decided to separate his forces with Pei Ju to attack.

    Yang Zhaonai ordered Pei Ju to lead more than 4,000 troops from the Zuo Wei Army, You Wu Wei Army and Zuo Wu Hou Army. With the assistance of Husi Wanshan, Liu Changgong, Yang Shanhui and others, they continued to gather troops outside the palace and waited for the opportunity to capture the right leader and left Liu Fu.  Fu and Zuo led the left and right Fu Yuan Chengshou, and Zuo led the army of Du Kai.

    ??And Yang Zhao personally led more than 5,000 people from the right guard army, the left Wuwei army, the right Wuhou army, and the right leading army to rush to Renshou Palace to kill them.

    In order to control the internal and external affairs, Yang Jian did not make the preparation army bigger, so he used the prison army to guard the gates of Renshou Palace.  In order to prevent the Jianmenfu army from colluding with the internal ministers, the Jianmenfu camp was located outside Renshou Palace, while most of the Jianmenfu soldiers lived inside.

    After Yang Zhao made a plan, Yang Wanxiang and Wang Zhibian led the right guard army and the right leader's army to go straight to the Zuojianmenfu camp in the north of the city, while he led the left Wuwei army and Zuo Wuhou army to go straight to the right camp.  He left the camp at the Prison Gate Mansion.  Luo Rong, the general in charge of the left prison gate, and Yuan Li, the general in charge of the right prison gate, are both Yang Guangzhi's old subordinates. They have always been friendly with Yang Guang. Given the current situation, the two will not repeat each other.

    Just as Yang Zhao expected, when Luo Rong and Yuan Li saw the army in Yang Zhao's hands, they knew that all the Imperial Guards might have fallen into Yang Zhao's hands.  Although Liu Shu still controlled the emperor at this time, it was impossible to defeat the tens of thousands of forbidden troops. Now the future of the Sui Dynasty was probably completely in the hands of the emperor's grandson.

    Luo Rong and Yuan Li did not dare to delay at all, so they chose to open the door and follow suit. They were also worried that someone in their army would choose to use their heads to flatter the emperor's grandson, so they could not hesitate.

    Having captured the left and right prison gate camps, Yang Zhao has completely cleared out the surrounding ministries of Renshou Palace and surrounded Renshou Palace.

    Yang Zhao did not dare to delay, so he took the Youwuhou Mansion Army under Qu Tutong as the vanguard and attacked Renshou Palace.

    The army advanced all the way to Yongguang Gate, but was blocked by the defenders.  At this time, the palace gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers on guard stood on the palace wall with bows and crossbows, waiting in full formation.

    It turns out that Yang Yan has arranged for his internal servants to take down all the gates of Renshou Palace according to the imperial edict.  The guards at various palace gates were only commander-in-chief and governor-level generals. They had no great power and could not tell the real situation, so they had to rely on the emperor's imperial edict.

    Yang Zhao ordered Luo Rong to come forward and call the door, but the Zuojianmen army stationed at Yongguang Gate did not listen to Luo Rong's advice at all, and shot several arrows directly from the top of the city, forcing Luo Rong away.

    Luo Rong had no choice but to retreat to the army.

    In order to prevent the generals of the Prison Gate Mansion who control the palace gates from having liaisons with the outside world, Yang Jian usually bypasses the senior officials of the Prison Gate Mansion and directly deploys the defenses of the palace gates.  Therefore, the generals of the Prison Gate Mansion were unable to intervene in the personnel and guarding of various palace gates.  Therefore, Luo Rong was nominally the commander of Yongguangmen's garrison, but no one cared about him at all.

    Yang Zhao also understood this situation and did not blame Luo Rong.

    Luo Rongnai told Yang Zhao about the situation of Yongguang Gate.  As the main entrance of Renshou Palace, Yongguang Gate has much higher military standards than other city gates. There are 300 garrison soldiers, and the leader will be Zhao Tong, the governor of Zuojianmen Palace.  Zhao Tong never sold Luo Rong's account in the past, but this time he had the imperial edict to rely on, so he dared to shoot Zhao Tong with an arrow.

    Yang Zhao ordered people to come forward to persuade Zhao Tong to surrender, but Zhao Tong refused.

    Zhao Tong was also a fish that slipped through the net of Yang Yong's old department, but he was originally an unknown soldier with a low status, so he was not purged.  In the past few years, he had kept a low profile, rose to the rank of Governor, and had contact with Yang Yan again.  After Yang Yan's rebellion, he removed the original chariot generals and replaced them with Zhao Tong, completely taking control of Yongguangmen.

    Seeing that Zhao Tong was unable to advance, and worried that spending too long at Yongguang Gate would delay the war, Yang Zhao had no choice but to order Qu Tutong to lead his army to attack Yongguang Gate.

    Although Zhao Tong didn't have many soldiers at his command, and he didn't have any garrison equipment such as rolling logs or stones, he relied on the height of Yongguang Gate and could only shoot arrows from above to fight back.  Although Qu Tutong was brave, he had no siege equipment at his disposal. He led his troops to charge several times, but was unable to do anything against Yongguang Gate.

    At this time Yuanli advisedZhao can burn Yongguang Gate, and when the time comes, Zhao Tong will be unprepared and break into the palace.  Yang Zhao thought for a while, but still rejected Yuan Li's proposal.  It is easy to burn the palace gate, but it will make it visible for hundreds of miles inside and outside.  When the time comes, it will only cause panic and it will be difficult to cover it up.

    Yang Zhaonai ordered Qu Tutong and Wang Zhibian to find breakthroughs from other palace gates, while he led the rest of his troops to continue attacking Yongguang Gate.

    At this time, Yang Wanxiang, who was in charge of the rear army, saw that Yongguang Gate was difficult to break, so he ordered a big tree to be cut down from the mountain and used as a log.  Arrows rained down from the top of the city, and bows and crossbows were fired back from below.

    Zhao Tong and others did not carry many bows and arrows, and they would soon run out.

    At this time, Yang Wanxiang ordered his men to carry the big tree and hit the palace door hard, about a hundred times. The huge palace door was really overwhelmed and was knocked open by the wood.  Seeing that the city was broken, Yang Wanxiang took the lead and led his men to rush into Yongguang Gate.

    Zhao Tong was shocked, but at this time he was still unwilling to surrender.  In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Wuling County were kind to Zhao Tong. Today, Zhao Tong will repay this kindness and will not retreat until his death.

    "However, Zhao Tong's 300 men and horses are indeed too few. They were originally supported by the city gate, and they could barely fight back.  At this time, Yang Zhao's thousands of troops rushed in, and everyone was unable to fight anymore and collapsed one after another.

    Yang Wanxiang led his men to kill him until the Yongguang Gate was filled with blood.

    Zhao Tong led his men in a bloody battle and refused to retreat, with several wounds all over his body. He was not afraid of being chopped down to the ground by someone behind him.  It turned out that the officers and soldiers of the Zuojianmen Mansion saw that they would not be spared at this time, and they did not want to be buried with Zhao Tong, so they tried to survive and killed Zhao Tong to surrender.

    The officers and soldiers of the Zuojianmen Mansion knelt on the ground shouting and cheering. Yang Wanxiang also wanted to lead everyone to kill them all to avoid future troubles, but Yang Zhao ordered people to stop them in time.

    Yang Zhao didn¡¯t want to go on a killing spree, so he ordered Luo Rong to lead people to take care of these surrendered soldiers before making further calculations.

    At the same time, Qu Tutong and Wang Zhibian also entered from the Xianheng Gate and Paiyun Gate on both sides respectively.  The guard of Paiyun Gate is Yang Guang's man, so he naturally chooses to let him go.  Zhang Heitie of Xianhengmen saw this formation and did not dare to stop him, so he immediately chose to open the door and surrender.

    Yang Zhao's army made progress one after another and entered Renshou Palace from three sides.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
