| abstract | - Since the time that Wiman took the Gojoseon throne, relations between Han and Gojoseon had been deteriorating. King Ugeo of Gojoseon interrupted direct contact with envoys sent by chiefs of various tribes on the Korean Peninsula to the Han empire, thus Emperor Wu of Han dispatched the emissary She He (涉何) to Gojoseon. After an audience with the king, She He failed in securing the safe passage of the envoys. While returning to his nation, She He killed Jang (長), an assistant of the Gojoseon king. Due to this action, the king sent out troops to kill She He. The direct pretext for war thus came when King Ugeo had the Han envoy executed, which had angered Emperor Wu considerably. However, it is thought by modern historians that the initiation of war was also brought by the desire to remove the possibility that Gojoseon would ally with the Xiongnu against the Han or by the deteriorating relations between Han and Gojoseon when Wiman Joseon prevented trade between Chinbon and Han.
