上党 / Shangdang
上党 / Shangdang enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》92丨历史上第一位著名舔狗是谁？（1） as the 韩国 northern territory isolated after 秦国 attacks 韩国南阳 and 太行道. The episode says that once the route back to Xinzheng is cut, Qin conquest of Shangdang appears only a matter of time.
The source’s key point is that Shangdang does not simply fall into Qin hands. Its defending commander is described as unwilling to surrender to Qin and inclined to offer the territory to 赵国 instead. The episode explicitly treats this as the setup for a later, extremely large Qin-Zhao annihilation-war branch.
《资治通鉴·周纪》93丨在梦里藏着偷天改命？（1） names that local actor as 冯亭 and gives the offer its political logic. Shangdang’s seventeen cities, land, and people are offered to 赵丹 / 赵孝成王 because Feng Ting expects Qin to attack Zhao afterward, forcing Zhao to align with Han. The episode also explains local willingness through Three Jin affinity, geographic familiarity, and fear of Qin rather than through attachment to Zhao’s ruler alone.
《资治通鉴·周纪》93丨在梦里藏着偷天改命？（2） turns the offer into an accepted transfer. 赵豹 / 平阳君 argues that Shangdang is a gift designed to make Zhao inherit Qin’s anger, but 平原君 supports accepting it and 赵丹 / 赵孝成王 sends him to take possession. The episode therefore treats Shangdang as the immediate bridge from 交通线切割 and 无故之利 into the 长平之战 prelude.
《资治通鉴·周纪》95丨长平之战后秦国为什么没有灭了赵国（1） returns to Shangdang after Changping as part of Qin’s follow-on pressure. While 王龁 attacks 武安 and 皮牢, 司马梗 attacks 太原 and Shangdang, showing that the place remains part of the Qin-Zhao pressure zone even after the main battlefield victory.
