Looking in the direction of Wang Xuance's finger, Zhang Nan saw a very important information, that is, the location of this city is not far from the border pass of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even closer than the hinterland of the Western Turks.

Zhang Nan looked at the map in Wang Xuance's hand and said to himself: "It's a wishful thinking." ”

Hearing Zhang Nan's self-talk, Cheng Huaimo asked strangely, "Big brother?" What wishful thinking? ”

"Come and see for yourself." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he gave up the position next to him, and then Cheng Huaimo and others gathered around Zhang Nan and looked at the map in Wang Xuance's hand.

Although Cheng Huaimo didn't know why Da Shi had to do such a thankless thing at first, but as soon as he looked at the map, Cheng Huaimo knew what Da Shi's true intentions were.

This can also explain why Da Shi is so desperate to take the land of the Eastern Turks first, instead of choosing the Western Turks. Da Shi is obviously interesting to Datang.

Even if the current Da Shi may not be ready to start a war with Da Tang, it can be seen that Da Tang is definitely a potential opponent of Da Shi's future strategic development, otherwise Da Shi would not have taken the land of the Eastern Turks to border Da Tang now.

It is foreseeable that once the Great Food and the Tang Dynasty are launched, then this piece of land in the Eastern Turks is definitely the logistics supply station of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the Great Food is too far away from the Tang Dynasty.

Even if there is a cutting-edge weapon, it will be useless if no one operates it.

And if the Great Eclipse begins to prepare for the development of the Tang Dynasty now, the geographical location of the Eastern Turks is definitely an ideal place for the Great Eclipse, whether it is hoarding grain or garrisoning troops, it is a good place to attack, retreat to defend, even if it can't be defended, then the big deal is to leave, anyway, there is nothing on the grassland.

This can also explain why the city that Cheng Huaimo saw yesterday only had city walls, but the city was empty. This city is not used for people at all, it is simply for garrisons.

So there is no need to build too many buildings inside, an empty city, even if the Tang Dynasty hits, it is not a pity to abandon it, even if the Tang Dynasty is angry, it will not pose any substantial threat to the Great Eclipse, because if you want to hit the territory of the Great Eclipse, you also need to take the army to cross the territory of the Western Turks.

Zhang Nan believed that the Western Turks were not such a talkative country, especially for the Tang Dynasty.

And it is obvious that Da Shi must have reached an agreement with the Western Turks, that is, Da Shi will help the Western Turks unify the grasslands, but he will establish a place to garrison troops in the territory of the Eastern Turks to plan for the attack on the Tang Dynasty.

The population of the Western Turks is not enough to fill every piece of the steppe, and for the Western Turks, as long as they firmly grasp the fertile places with water and grass, it is the best, and as for the rest of the steppe, there is no use value at all.

Zhang Nan doesn't know what the Western Turks think, but it is obvious that the Western Turks are willing to stand with the Great Eclipse, although I don't know what kind of benefits the Great Eclipse promised to the Western Turks, so that the Western Turks can willingly be the Tang Dynasty's shield against the Great Eclipse, but it is obvious that the Western Turks are still happy to do this, otherwise the city of the Great Eclipse will not be repaired to the territory of the Eastern Turks.

"This big-eating caliph has something, and he can come up with such a plan." After Zhang Nan figured out the plan of the big food, he also smiled unconsciously, it seems that he still underestimated the ability of the traverser.

At least in terms of military talent, Zhang Nan thinks that he can't compare to the big-eating caliph.

Just as Zhang Nan wanted to call Comrade Li Er to report what he had thought of the latest thing, Zhang Nan's mobile phone thought about it first.

"Qingquan, I already know why Da Shi has to go to the Western Turks." Li Er's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, and it could be seen that Comrade Li Er's mood was not very good, and it could be said that it was very bad.

"What a coincidence, Your Majesty, the minister also just thought of why Da Shi had to attack the Eastern Turks desperately." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Oh? You got it? Tell me about it? Li Er obviously looked surprised, he didn't expect that what he and the veterans of the General Staff of the Tang Dynasty had seen before, Zhang Nan knew it immediately, and looking at Zhang Nan's appearance, it was obvious that he would know it earlier than them.

"Didn't you know this thing as soon as you got the map? Da Shi hopes that with the help of this land of the Eastern Turks, he can have the power to fight with us on the battlefield of the expedition, and their target is our Datang, just yesterday, when we first arrived at the grassland, we saw a city, after exploration, the city is an empty city, but it is foreseeable that the city is used to store soldiers and stockpile food. Zhang Nan said.

"The big eater's hand is too long, I haven't looked for him yet, he came to the door where he found me first, I think this group of big cannibals can't wait to know what the strength of our Datang is." Li Er sneered as he spoke.

"It should be that there is nothing wrong with this, otherwise he would not have been able to build the city in such a short period of time, it can be seen that they just want to do something to our Datang, so they will do this, I am afraid that once the strength of our Datang is discovered, it will be necessary to start making plans." Zhang Nan said.

"What do you think? Spring? Li Er asked.

"Chen thinks that if Da Shi knows that our strength is weaker than theirs, or if we are equal to them, we will start a war against our Datang." Zhang Nan said affirmatively.

"Are you so sure? If it is said that the strength is stronger than that of Datang, then I can still understand that he will start a war against Datang, but if it is peaceful with us, why should he start a war against my Datang? Li Er was also skeptical of Zhang Nan's speculation.

"The minister is just guessing, and there is no substantial evidence to say that Da Shi will definitely do this, but it is better to take precautions, after all, we still don't know what their strength is, and the minister thinks that it is better to plan for the worst." Zhang Nan said.

"Well, it's not unreasonable for you to say that, so let's do it, if you continue to stay over there to investigate the intelligence, it's best to find out what kind of agreement Da Shi and the Western Turks have reached, and what is the strength of Da Shi." Li Er thought for a while, and then directly changed Zhang Nan's mission for this trip.
