Yimouxun

r. 779–808 · 8th century

Yimouxun was king of Nanzhao from 779 to 808. Early in his reign he joined Tibet in an invasion of Sichuan, but after a heavy defeat and growing Tibetan demands he returned to Tang allegiance in 794, swearing an oath with Tang envoys at Cangshan. He then attacked Tibetan positions, and the Tang recognised him as King of Nanzhao. He moved the capital to Yangjumie.
