Chapter 253 Turkic Rebellion
Things about the Three Shoushen City began to become complicated and sensitive.
The three surrendered cities in the east and west are all located on the north bank of Hetao. Although they are called "submission", they are not built to accept the surrender of Turkic nobles. Instead, they are grouped with the surrounding military towns and prefectures to form a defense system inside and outside Hetao in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. They have outstanding military garrisoning nature and have multiple other functions, such as military and political centers, transportation hubs and economic centers.
The Tang Dynasty organized land reclamation in Sanshoujiang City and its surrounding areas, and partially solved the supply of military rations and expenditures of the local garrisons. After its construction, it was successively the capital of important military institutions such as the Anbei Protectorate, the Shanyu Protectorate, the Tiande Army, and the Zhenwu Army.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Wall was advocated not to build the Great Wall, so the large-scale construction of the Great Wall did not occur, which is rare in Chinese history.
Relatively speaking, the scale of the Three Suijiang City is much smaller, and the financial resources spent cannot be compared with the Qin, Han, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui, Jin, Western Xia and Ming Great Walls, and it also plays a positive role in the remote and sparsely populated border stagnant defense.
But this place is still a place where Turkic people gather. There are many Turkic people around. After a long period of stability, they inevitably began to become dissatisfied with some policies of the Tang Dynasty. Especially since Li Jiuzhou, the Jiedushi, took office, he has made a lot of money in Shuofang, but has nothing to do with him.
Since these people surrendered, they suddenly became people of the Tang Dynasty, which is not something that everyone can accept.
Merchants are indeed profitable, and bitches are really ruthless, but even Turkic people who do not need to shed horses and sheep on horseback will still find it difficult to change immediately.

This is different from others. After all, the most surrendered person is in the hands of others. It is not a good thing.
Perhaps because he had long been dissatisfied with Li Jiuzhou ignoring himself, or perhaps because of the strong national confidence trend, these Turks began to become restless.
The Turks around began to attack the Sanshoujiang City, and the news continued to spread to Lingwu and Li Jiuzhou.
How can you sit still? The originally harmonious national atmosphere suddenly turns into a war, especially in the places where the Turks were still under control, which had already shown an uneasy trend.
The other neighboring ethnic groups were better. These small tribes had long been accustomed to the military power of the Tang Dynasty and could not have any will to resist.
Other small tribes with little contact with the Tang Dynasty have always been thinking about expanding their nominal power and luxury, and naturally they are starting to do something in secret.
The power of these people is not strong, so the methods they chose are also relatively obscure, secretly provoking undercurrents among the people and providing timely help to the rebellion of the Turks.
In just half a month, the protests everywhere have become fierce and frequent.
All of these were beyond Li Jiuzhou's expectations. He wanted to live in peace in his jurisdiction so that he could concentrate on dealing with An Lushan at that time, but unexpectedly, civil strife broke out at this time.
After the army assembled, they rushed towards the Sanshoucheng City in batches. After launching wave after wave of offensives, the Sanshoucheng City, which was originally easily occupied by the Turks, was easily taken back.

Although the Turks were brave and good at fighting, they were ultimately at the end of their power and could not fight against the powerful army that Li Jiuzhou had been running for a long time.
But these Turks were very cunning, fully utilized the strengths of the nomadic peoples, fought guerrilla warfare, and asked the cavalry to harass them from time to time, and then ran away.
This made the Tang soldiers who wanted to wipe out the enemy completely. They fought with him for a long time, but were pulled by him. Even after they realized that they were attacked, they could not even see the shadow of the enemy.
Li Jiuzhou doesn't want to delay it for too long. If this continues, the situation will be out of control.
It's better to fight a fast battle.
The Three Surrender City has been recaptured, so the defense is no problem, but simply blindly defending is not the best way.
Because the situation in the city is still uncertain, the natural resistance mentality of the Turkic people in the city has made the defense become a little unstable.
Faced with this trend, Li Jiuzhou ordered people to quickly pass a letter to Geshuhan, the governor of Hexi next door, and asked him to help sweep the group of Turks.
Geshuhan was originally a Turkic person, and he knew the ways and means of the Turkic people fighting. He knew that Li Jiuzhou, who had not fought a guerrilla war, encountered trouble, so he sent someone to blockade all parts of his territory, prohibiting the Turkic people from infiltrating, and at the same time he also played the role of cutting off his retreat.
At the same time, Li Jiuzhou issued a memorial to the capital, asking the emperor for relevant matters. Can the attitude towards the Turks be controlled by himself, so as not to force other Turkic people in the Tang Dynasty to attack them and do terrible things in despair.

To conquer a nation is not something that can be accomplished by signing a piece of paper. The key is to conquer their human hearts and wills, and it will take several years, even decades, or hundreds of years.
Li Jiuzhou was not in a hurry, but he was worried that the situation in the capital would become worse and worse. When An Lushan heard about the rebellion of the Turks, he would suddenly launch a rebellion.
For An Lushan, he was actually waiting for an opportunity and was in a wait-and-see state. If Li Jiuzhou could not quell the rebellion of the Turks, the court would have to send people to support him and quell the rebellion. Then the time would be the best time to raise an army.
Li Jiuzhou, who knew this well, knew that this matter could be big or small, and if it was not done well, it would have a very bad impact. Therefore, the memorandum he gave to the emperor did not say that he needed any assistance, but just fought for the power to deal with this matter. By the way, he could solve it himself so that His Majesty the Emperor could rest assured.
But the Turkic people's ability to drill holes like rabbits is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. They harass you for a while, then immediately run to the corner to hide, and then run out to make some noise when you are not paying attention.
Li Jiuzhou was sleepless and raising everything. This was a very tiring thing, so that his handsome face was finally destroyed by dark circles, and his face turned pale and exhausted to the extreme. But every time he thought that this was a problem he had to solve, and this meaning of moving closer to the pleasure of martyrdom would make him awake again.
No matter how difficult it is to fight, you still have to find a way to fight it.
With powerful and irresistible force as the basis, how could Li Jiuzhou endure this teasing of the Turks?
The war horses transferred from all over the place were ready, and the cavalry who had been training hard were finally in place.
It's time to see how effective I have been training for so long.
