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.
