Chapter 433: A Little Troublemaker
Lin Sen, who does good deeds without leaving a name, is not always idle at home, even if this little day is cool, there will always be a time to think quietly, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up with the Songzhou War during the period.
At that time, Li Shimin also wanted him to be the vanguard and cooperated with Hou Junji to go to Songzhou to fight back the invading Tubo army, but he had to push this beautiful difference in the end.
He still doesn't want to have too much contact with Hou Junji, the famous anti-bone boy, and more importantly, Cheng Huaiyu is pregnant again.
If he went to fight Songzhou, even if it was like in history, he would only rely on the impact of the vanguard, and he would kill the Tubo army, and he would not use the follow-up battle at all, and he would definitely not be able to catch up with the process of Cheng Huaiyu giving birth to a child.
When Zhenxiang was born, he couldn't be by his side, which already made him feel extremely guilty, this time it's better not to let her hold a big belly and be scared for herself.
In addition, there is actually another important reason, those veterans are all coveting the fat difference of the pioneer officer, and many of them are familiar with Lin Sen.
This is likely to be the last glory for a group of veterans, and he Lin Sen is still young after all, and he still has a lot of opportunities to earn military merits in the future.
Considering that he can be said to be in a state of temporary promotion, these military exploits are actually not very meaningful to him, rather than this, it is better to be a favor, and at the same time befriend those veterans, he can also take good care of his wife at home.
Li Shimin also felt that it was a bit too unkind to transfer Lin Sen away at a critical moment every time, so after Lin Sen resigned, he agreed to change generals without hesitation.
Datang is not short of fierce generals who can rush and fight, and it is not that there is no one available without Lin Sen, a large number of veterans are squatting in Chang'an City, and they can't go out for a wine banquet to fight, vent their excess energy, and when they hear that there is a battle to fight, they don't know how many people run to take the initiative to ask for help.
The reason why he deliberately chose Lin Sen is mainly because this kid has been too happy at home recently, Li Shimin doesn't want such a fierce general to live a retirement life early, instead of jumping under his own nose, it is better to go out to experience experience, and become a general in charge as soon as possible.
But since this guy can't hold up the wall in the mud, it's just as he wants, and it also gives those veterans a chance to perform.
In the end, after several trade-offs, Niu Jinda, a fierce general with strict military management, was sent to be the vanguard officer.
However, Lin Sen didn't mean that he was completely idle, since he remembered to find something to do for this kid, Li Shimin must have other tricks.
Just as the new bolt election began, Li Shimin simply arranged another position for Lin Sen, so that he could return to the palace and become the left guard who was responsible for guarding the gate.
Although the rank is one level lower than the previous Dengzhou Zhichong Lieutenant, it seems to have regressed, but this position is different.
If you can show the emperor the door, then you naturally have to be the emperor's real confidant, as the saying goes, the prime minister's door is a three-rank official, Lin Sen's position represents more of the emperor's trust, and it can be regarded as a signal to the outside world, indicating that Lin Sen is still loved by the emperor as always, and he was not snubbed because he was idle at home.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Sen was too young and too young, Li Shimin would have always had the intention of suppressing his promotion speed, and it would be okay to give him a position as a prison guard general, which is a real third-grade high-ranking official, and it is obviously not suitable at the moment.
And this position is more advantageous to Lin Sen, he doesn't have to keep staring there, he can go home to take care of his wife and children when the time comes, the work is not very heavy, it can even be said to be very easy, and it is a good place to boil up qualifications.
The main thing is to check the entry and exit of those officials, they are all familiar faces, the problem is not big, and they can be familiar with these people.
It's really a matter of inconvenience for outsiders to see, it's all in places like Xuanwu Gate, and there is no need to worry about knowing too many things that shouldn't be known, so Li Shimin can be regarded as taking care of his situation very well.
The actual battle process is similar to that in history, and it seems that it takes more time to mobilize the army than it takes to fight.
Niu Jinda led the vanguard army to arrive, pressed the Tubo army to the ground and beat it violently, which frustrated the enemy's spirit, and those guys who had just come down from the plateau were afraid
As far as the combat effectiveness shown by the Datang soldiers is concerned, there is definitely no cheap to continue fighting, and now Songtsan Gampo, who is actually a little worried about internal and external troubles, does not want to spend too much of his elite and provoke the behemoth of Datang, so he decisively admitted it.
In fact, the current Tubo has not recovered Yangtong, nor has it won the allegiance of those brave and warlike warriors of Nibora, and has experienced more only the battle with those old nobles inside, and the overall combat effectiveness is not as strong as later.
In addition, they also lacked a stable rear, and the internal battle was quite fierce, so the will to fight was not very strong.
Only Lin Sen knew how much trouble the people on this plateau caused to the Tang Dynasty later, so after hearing that Niu Jinda and their victorious return, Lin Sen pondered for a while, and still ran into the palace to inform Li Shimin of his thoughts.
The current Yangtong and Ni Bora are still independent of Tubo, especially Yang Tong's side, which has been very difficult to deal with Tubo for a long time, and the resistance has been very fierce, and Ni Boluo has a fierce and fearless warrior.
As long as someone provokes these two countries and constantly creates trouble for the Tibetan side, if necessary, the Tang Dynasty can also provide some help, so that they can involve more of the power of Tubo and prevent the rise of this plateau country, at least it can slow down its growth.
If the help of quickly enhancing their national strength can become their biggest stumbling block, then it is conceivable that after the confrontation between them, even if the reunification is finally completed, the power will be weakened by an unknown number of layers, and the threat to Datang will naturally be much smaller.
Li Shimin also felt the benefits of this kind of play of pulling waves and fighting waves from the grassland, Datang can be in the position of the referee at any time, and even weaken or even eliminate a tribe without spending a single soldier.
Xue Yantuo was played bad like this, not to mention the unification of the northern grasslands and the new threat of the Tang Dynasty, and now his own leader position is a bit precarious, and he will face a situation of falling apart when he can't keep it.
Just throw Tang Jian, a great hero, to the plateau to try it again, and let him continue to play his unparalleled lip service.
At present, there are many people in the Tang Dynasty who regard Tang Jian as the ruler of the world, and I think this time I should not disappoint everyone.
Of course, Lin Sen actually has a bit of selfishness, that is, to prevent Princess Wencheng from entering Tibet.
