石城 / Shicheng

石城 / Shicheng enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》76丨谁给了楚顷襄王的自信？ as the 赵国 city 秦国 takes in 281 BCE after the prior year’s attack on Zhao. The episode locates it near modern southwest Shijiazhuang.

Its role is source-scoped. Shicheng marks the continuation of Qin eastward pressure after 赵惠文王赵何 rejects Qin’s proposal to attack 齐国 and after the unresolved tension around 完璧归赵式外交.
