place open to attack from all directions

The kingdom of the four wars refers to the ancient state of Zhao, which comes from chapter 93 of the chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: "King Wuling of Zhao said to himself that Zhao was in the north of Yan, in the east of Hu, and in the west of Linhu and Loufan; he was adjacent to Zhao, but separated from Qin by a river; he lived in the four wars and was afraid that the sun would be weak."

During the Warring States period, general Jun Leyi expanded the territory for King yanzhao, occupied more than 70 cities of Qi, and was named king Chang. King Yanhui was intrigued by Tian Dan, a native of Qi. Yue Yi was framed and fled to Zhao. The state of Qi took the opportunity to recover its lost territory. King Yanhui asked if Leyi's son could attack Zhao. Lexian thought that Zhao was in a four war position and was not suitable to attack.
