Story:

In the early Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang sent his aide Lu Jia to bestow the seal of the King of Nanyue upon Wei Tuo.

Although Wei Tuo was from the Central Plains, he had long resided in Nanyue as its king and was unwilling to assist the Central Plains people in suppressing tyranny and rebellion.

Lu Jia persuaded him to surrender to King Han early, explaining that China had a large population, vast land, fertile soil, abundant resources, and unified governance.

After hearing these unprecedented things, Wei Tuo submitted.
