魏昭王 / King Zhao of Wei

魏昭王 / King Zhao of Wei appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》65丨我穿越去给浪漫的楚王念首诗 as Wei Su, the son who succeeds after 魏襄王 dies in 296 BCE.

The notice arrives in the same episode that records the five-state anti-Qin pressure reaching 阏氏 and Qin returning 封陵 to Wei. The source does not directly attribute the coalition or concession decision to Wei Zhao Wang; his role is mainly the succession marker as Wei continues to operate inside the anti-Qin field.

《资治通鉴·周纪》72丨什么样的人 才是忠贞之士? gives him a compact diplomatic notice in 284 BCE. The episode says Wei Zhao Wang meets 秦昭襄王 and 韩釐王 at 洛邑, the Zhou capital region, in the same year that Yan consolidates its conquest of Qi.

《资治通鉴·周纪》73丨历史上自由恋爱的开创者是谁? gives his state a crisis in the same post-Qi-collapse sequence. Qin takes 安城 and advances toward 大梁, forcing Yan and Zhao to return to assist Wei; the page keeps that as a state-level pressure notice rather than a developed personal decision by Wei Zhao Wang.
