少梁 / Shaoliang

少梁 / Shaoliang appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》11丨 世界风起云涌(2) as the 362 BCE battlefield where 秦国 defeats 魏国 and captures a Wei figure rendered as 公孙措 / 公孙痤 / 公叔痤. The episode connects it to 秦国东进压力 and to the immediate succession from 秦献公 to 秦孝公.

《资治通鉴·周纪》15丨酒不醇引发的世界大战 adds a 354 BCE sequel: after the failed or inconclusive Duping meeting between 秦孝公 and 魏惠王, Qin defeats Wei at Yuanli and occupies Shaoliang. The episode emphasizes that Shaoliang is a repeatedly contested Qin-Wei city rather than a one-off battlefield.

《资治通鉴·周纪》34丨秦国总理如何玩转六国 later records Shaoliang as land Wei yields to Qin after Qin surrounds 焦邑 and 曲沃 in 330 BCE. Taken together, the sources make Shaoliang part of a cumulative pressure pattern: Qin’s earlier and later attacks are not isolated raids, and each settlement leaves Wei weaker and Qin stronger.
