Although the military power of this new empire was not as strong as the previous <a href="/wiki/Tang_dynasty" title="Tang dynasty">Tang dynasty</a> had been, and it rarely contacted the Tibetan tribes of <a href="/wiki/%C3%9C-Tsang" title="Ü-Tsang">Ü-Tsang</a> who dwelled far from the Han, it did keep in touch with Tibetan tribes living in <a href="/wiki/Gansu" title="Gansu">Gansu</a>, <a href="/wiki/Qinghai" title="Qinghai">Qinghai</a> and <a href="/wiki/Yunnan" title="Yunnan">Yunnan</a> province where <a href="/wiki/Han_Chinese" title="Han Chinese">Han Chinese</a> people were also domiciled. </p><p>Not long after the establishment of the Song dynasty, a Tibetan tribe leader named <a href="/wiki/Gusiluo" title="Gusiluo">Gusiluo</a> set up a regime in the <a href="/wiki/Huangshui_River" title="Huangshui River">Huangshui</a> basin centered on Miaochuan (now <a href="/wiki/Ledu_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Ledu District">Ledu</a>) and Qingtang (now <a href="/wiki/Xining" title="Xining">Xining</a>) and defended it from an attack by the kingdom of <a href="/wiki/Western_Xia" title="Western Xia">Western Xia</a> launched by its leader, <a href="/wiki/Li_Yuan-Hao" class="mw-redirect" title="Li Yuan-Hao">Li Yuan-hao</a>. The Gusiluo regime was the biggest and the first feudal Anduo regime led by Tibetan people at that time. The Gusiluo regime maintained a harmonious relationship with Song, sending envoys to pay tribute and ask for honorable official titles from Song. In 1032 A.D (the first year of Mingdao, the reign title of Emperor Renzong of Song), <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Renzong_of_Song" title="Emperor Renzong of Song">Emperor Renzong</a> titled Gusiluo "Ningyuan General" and "defending militia leader in Aizhou", along with a generous salary. In 1041 A.D (the second year of <a href="/w/index.php?title=GAILIANJIE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="GAILIANJIE (page does not exist)">Kangding</a>), the emperor of Song formed an alliance with Gusiluo to combat the kingdom of <a href="/wiki/Western_Xia" title="Western Xia">Western Xia</a>, and awarded Gusiluo another two official posts, "inspecting and supervising officer in Chongbaoshun" and "supply commissioner for Hexi army". Thereafter the descendants of Chio-ssi-lo, <a href="/w/index.php?title=GAILIANJIE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="GAILIANJIE (page does not exist)">Dong zhan</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=GAILIANJE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="GAILIANJE (page does not exist)">E guo-gu</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=GAILIANJE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="GAILIANJE (page does not exist)">Xia zheng</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=GAILIANJIE&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="GAILIANJIE (page does not exist)">Long za</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Xi_she-luo-sa&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Xi she-luo-sa (page does not exist)">Xi she-luo-sa</a>, all accepted the honorable official title given by Song. </p><p>However, the relationship between the Chio-ssi-lo tribe and the Northern Song dynasty was not peaceful. After <a href="/wiki/Wang_Anshi" title="Wang Anshi">Wang An-shi</a> became the Song prime minister, he changed the policy of allying with Chio-ssi-lo to combat the kingdom of Western Xia into conquering Chio-ssi-lo as a springboard for attacking Western Xia. In 1072 A.D, a military officer of Song, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wang_Shao_GAIU&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wang Shao GAIU (page does not exist)">Wang Shao</a>, led an army to attack Gusiluo, occupying the <a href="/wiki/Xihe_County" title="Xihe County">Xihe</a> region that was once under the control of Chio-ssi-lo. This forced Chio-ssi-lo to cooperate with Western Xia to attack Hezhou in Song. The frontier general of Hezhou was killed in this attack. In 1077 A.D, Song was forced to ally with Gusiluo again, elevating ing its king, Dongzhan, to ‘Highness of Wuwei’. In 1096 A.D, Song availed itself of the opportunity brought by inner melee that followed the takeover by a new king, Xiazheng, of the throne in 1099 A.D, and sent two generals, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wang_han_123&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wang han 123 (page does not exist)">Wang han</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wang_zhan&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wang zhan (page does not exist)">Wang zhan</a>, to assail Gusiluo, which forced Xia Zheng and his successor Long za to surrender to Song sequentially. However, Song failed to control that region and had to withdraw its army the following year, bestowing on the successor Xi she-luo-sa the title of ‘supply commissioner of Xiping army’ and the ‘head of Miaochuan’. </p><p>In 1103 A.D., Song again defeated Xi she-luo-sa and established a puppet government there, annexing the entire territory of Chio-ssi-lo into Song in 1116 A.D.
