Jolbon or Jolbon Buyeo (부여 or 졸본부여; 86 BCE - 37 BCE) was a continuation of Bukbuyeo under a changed state name after 86 BCE, when Hae Buru fled to the east to avoid conflict with King Dongmyeong, who became Go Dumak. Jolbon Buyeo was a unified state that consisted of Go Dumak's Dongmyeong-guk, and Bukbuyeo, which had been ruled for generations by Hae Mosu's descendants.

[edit] Establishment
Go Dumak became known as King Dongmyeong when he established his Dongmyeong-guk in Gojoseon's former territories, which had been destroyed and controlled by the Han Dynasty. King Dongmyeong began fighting with the four commanderies that the Han had established within Gojoseon's former territories. After several years of fighting, King Dongmyeong turned his direction towards Bukbuyeo upon hearing of the death of Go Uru of Buyeo. King Dongmyeong made his way toward Bukbuyeo and became involved in a power struggle with Hae Buru, who had succeeded Go Uru to the throne. After a brief fight, Hae Buru fled with his subjects to the east, and established Dongbuyeo at Gaseopwon in 86 BCE.
Go Dumak conquered Bukbuyeo in 108 BCE, and unified both the Dongmyeong-guk and Bukbuyeo and named his new kingdom "Jolbon Buyeo." Go Dumak made Prince Go Museo the Crown Prince of Jolbon Buyeo and the successor to the throne. In 59 BCE, Go Dumak died and his son Go Museo became the 6th king of Bukbuyeo and 2nd king of Jolbon Buyeo.
[edit] Foundation of Goguryeo
Go Museo of Bukbuyeo ruled for two short years of reign, and during these two years, Go Museo met Jumong, who was a descendant of Hae Mosu.
Jumong had fled from Dongbuyeo to avoid death at the hands of Dongbuyeo's Crown Prince Daeso, who presented great jealousy towards Jumong. Go Museo gave his second daughter, Soseuno, to Jumong in marriage, and named Jumong as successor to the throne. When Go Museo died, Jumong became Bukbuyeo's 7th king and Jolbon Buyeo's 3rd king. After unifying and consolidating the territories of Bukbuyeo under his government, Jumong established a new kingdom in 37 BCE called Koguryo.
