King Daeso was the first son of the previous King, Geumwa, and the grandson of Dongbuyeo’s founder and first ruler, Hae Buru. Daeso was apparently childless as no sources provide any proof of children born to Daeso.
As Daeso was the first prince of Dongbuyeo, he was made Crown Prince by his father. Before this occurred, however, Jumong’s famed archery and great leadership gave cause for tremendous jealousy and envy from Daeso and his six brothers. Jumong knew that his presence in Dongbuyeo would only be dangerous to himself, and decided go back to his land of ancestry, Jolbon Buyeo. In the year 36 BCE, In 37 BCE, Jumong established Goguryeo, and King Geumwa died years later during 7 BCE. Daeso rose to the throne and became King of Dongbuyeo.
Daeso requested an alliance with the Han Dynasty, and gathered enough military power to attack Goguryeo. Before attacking, however, he sent an envoy to Goguryeo’s King Yuri, ordering him to send a royal hostage to Dongbuyeo. Goguryeo rejected the order and caused the first Goguryeo-Dongbuyeo war to occur in 6 CE. Daeso directly led a 50,000-man army into Goguryeo, but was forced to retreat when heavy snow began to fall. With this, Daeso would have to wait for seven years in order to regain what he had lost from the first war with Goguryeo. Then, in 13 CE, Daeso led his armies into Goguryeo once again. This time, Muhyul, a prince of Goguryeo, led the armies of Goguryeo in a well-planned ambush and slaughtered all of Daeso’s army. Only he and a few of his men escaped home. With these two failures, the economy of Dongbuyeo fell and chaos was inevitable.
After the death of Goguryeo’s King Yuri, the Crown Prince Muhyul rose to the throne to become King Daemusin. Musin Taewang led an army and invaded Dongbuyeo, eventually killing Daeso and conquering the nation. The year was 21 CE, almost seven years after Daeso’s previous defeat.
