Kral Ugeo (M.Ö. ? - 108), Gojoseon'un son kalan parçasi olan Wiman Joseon'un son krali ve Wiman'in torunuydu.
Çin bakis açisina göre bu mücadelede "Ulu Tarihçinin Kayitlari"nda Gojoseon kralligi, Han Hanedanligi ile dogudaki diger kralliklar arasindaki ticareti engellemis ve Han Hanedanligi'na saygi göstermemistir.
Kore bakis açisina göre bu mücadelede Gojoseon, bagimsiz bir devlet oldugu, siyasal ittifak içinde bulundugu Hiungnu ile Han Hanedanligi'na karsi oldugu için vergi ödemedi.
Daha gerçekçi bir vergilendirme için Han, birlesik bir Çin hanedanligi kurmak amaciyla firsat kolluyor gibi görünüyordu. M.Ö. 109'da Han Imparatoru Wu (Wudi), She He'yi Gojoseon'da elçi olarak görevlendirdi. Basarisiz bir görüsmeden sonra She He, Han'a dönerken General Jang'i sinirda öldürdü.
She He haince bir davranis yaptigi için Imparator Wu tarafindan ödüllendirildi ve Dogu Bölgesi, Gojoseon sinirindaki Liaodong'un valisi olarak atandi. Wudi'nin bu öfkelendiren davranisiyla Kral Ugeo, She He'nin topraklarina saldirarak onu öldürdü. Han Hanedanligi uygun bir firsati bekleyip Gojoseon'a karsi savas ilan etti ve 50,000 kisilik kara ordusu ile 7,000 kisilik donanmayi fethetmesi için Gojoseon'a gönderdi.
Ugeo, ayrilikçi bir grubun gönderdigi suikastçi tarafindan öldürüldü. Ugeo'nun ölümünden sonra bile Gojoseon, M.Ö. 108'e kadar Han kuvvetlerine karsi koyduysa da kaybedip Han Imparatorlugu'nun Dört Komutanligi kuruldu.

Ugeo of Gojoseon
King Ugeo (?-108 BC) is the last king of Wiman Joseon, the last remnant of Gojoseon. He was a grandson of Wiman.
The Chinese viewpoint on this struggle is described in Records of the Grand Historian (史記), according to which the kingdom of Gojoseon had blocked trade between the Han Dynasty and the other kingdoms to the east and did not pay any homage to Han Dynasty.
The Korean viewpoint on this struggle is that Gojoseon did not have any duty of homage to Han because Gojoseon was a sovereign nation and in a political alliance including Xiongnu against the Han Dynasty.
A more realistic assessment of the situation seems to be that Han was looking for a chance to exercise its might as a unified Chinese dynasty. Emperor Wu (Wudi; 武帝) of Han appointed She He (涉何) as an ambassador to Gojoseon in 109 B.C. After a failed negotiations, She He killed a general Jang (長) at the border on his way back to Han.
She He was rewarded by Emperor Wu for this treacherous act and appointed the governor of Liaodong, Eastern District (遼東郡 東部都尉; meaning "Far East Commandery, Eastern District") located at the border with Gojoseon.[1] Enraged by this act of Wudi, King Ugeo attacked the territory of She He and killed him. Seeing a chance to declare war against Gojoseon, the Han Dynasty thus sent 50,000 strong army and 7,000 strong navy to conquer the Gojoseon.
Ugeo was killed by an assassin sent by a faction advocating surrender. Even after the death of Ugeo, Gojoseon resisted the Han forces until 108 BC but lost and the Four Commanderies of Han were then set up.
