Gusiluo

Gusiluo (Chinese: 唃厮啰; 997-1065) was a Tibetan leader who ruled present-day Qinghai and parts of Hexi Corridor. Claimed to be a descendant of Buddha, Guosiluo laid a foundation to a large Tibetan confederacy centered in Zonggecheng.[1] The Gusiluo regime built a closed relationship with the Khitans to resist the increasing powerful Western Xia.[2] In 1099, the Northern Song launched a campaign into Xining and Haidong (in modern Qinghai province), occupying territory that was controlled by the Tibetan Gusiluo regime since the 10th century.
