Years: 709 - 709

This success is followed, however, by the rebellion in the autumn of 709 of much of Lower Tokharistan under Nizak of Badhgis, with the support of the principalities of Yalqan and Faryab, and the city of Balkh.

In an effort to raise the entire region in revolt, Nizak also forces the nominal suzerain of Tokharistan, the Yabghu, to join the uprising.

The year is too advanced for a direct confrontation and the Muslim levy-based army mostly disbands, but Qutayba orders his brother Abd al-Rahman to take the garrison of Merv, some twelve thousand men, and head to Balkh to secure the Muslim position there.

This move proves effective in discouraging the rebellion of more local princes.
