韩襄王 / King Xiang of Han

韩襄王 / King Xiang of Han enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》52丨 陈庄叛秦 端起碗吃饭放下碗骂娘 as Han Cang, the son who succeeds after 韩宣惠王 / 韩惠王 dies. The episode gives this as a compact succession notice before turning to the 蜀国 rebellion.

《资治通鉴·周纪》54丨我尊你是王,你当我是屁 gives Han Xiang Wang a direct role in 张仪’s 连横 tour. Zhang Yi tells him that Han’s terrain, food supply, and soldier count make it vulnerable to 秦国, especially if Qin takes 宜阳 and controls Chenggao. The speech turns Han into the first example of 包围威胁式说服 in the episode: serving Qin and attacking 楚国 are presented as avoiding destruction rather than as voluntary submission.

《资治通鉴·周纪》60丨 中国第一位把持朝政的太后竟是她? extends his reign through Han’s crown-prince diplomacy. 韩婴 represents Han at 临晋 with 秦昭襄王 and 魏襄王, then visits 咸阳. The sequence shows Han moving from Qin’s 303 BCE target at 武遂 into a repaired Qin-facing arrangement after the 芈横 incident ruptures Qin-Chu ties.

The page is source-scoped. Its role is chronological: Han’s transition sits inside 周赧王’s fourth-year frame while the episode’s explanatory weight moves to Yan talent recruitment and Qin’s Ba-Shu problem.
