Having said this, he glanced at everyone and said: "Actually, the two people who quarreled that day belonged to two factions in the military camp. One faction was the people left by King Jin, and the other was the people of Vice General Shen. The two factions often looked down upon each other. They are fighting each other. A few months ago, a small quarrel between the two factions turned into a fight without anyone stopping them. They ignored military discipline and brotherhood and hurt each other, resulting in serious injuries. Countless, rivers of blood!"
Having said this, he pointed to Vice-General Shen who was sitting below and said: "Vice-General Shen was also in the fight at that time, and his arm was cut off by the opponent's Vice-General Qi, and Vice-General Qi was also severely punished for violating military discipline. We are all Chu The soldiers of the country, because of the personal grudges left by King Jin at that time, fought in private, and in the end both sides suffered losses. I stopped them this time because I learned the lesson from the last time, for fear of triggering internal strife!"
He paused and said with a domineering look: "Everyone, fighting within the military camp is never a trivial matter. Even if it is just a few quarrels, it may lead to a big war. By then, the army will be demoralized and scattered, and the enemy will not be able to fight. When we attacked, we ourselves lost. At that time, those two soldiers took the initiative to provoke a conflict and almost caused a fight between the two factions. I would like to ask, if I don't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but knock the mountain to shock the tiger. Once blood is shed, who will bear the consequences?"
Chu Xuanchen's words shocked everyone.
They were shocked when they heard this, and each one of them immediately became serious.
Chu Xuanchen is right, the morale of the army cannot be shaken, otherwise there will be chaos.
Vice General Shen immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, in the last internal fight, General Mo's arm was cut off by Vice General Qi. Fortunately, Princess Li saved his life. General Mo is in the army and knows full well that He is also well aware of the importance of unity and the consequences of internal strife. The prince acted in accordance with the law last time. He turned the tide in time, brought order to the chaos, stopped the internal strife and saved the lives of the soldiers. Only by doing this can he stabilize the morale of the army. , to warn everyone.”
Chen Ying, a gray-haired veteran below, heard this and said: "Your Majesty, King Li's move makes sense. The military camp is a place where rules and obedience are respected. If King Li does not punish them severely, those soldiers will Soldiers who are taking chances, continue fighting among themselves and disrupt the morale of the army. Such attempts to stir up trouble should be killed! Otherwise, if the morale of the army is shaken, how can other soldiers follow orders to charge into battle and fight with peace of mind?"
Having said this, he glanced at the Xian King and said, "The Xian King has good intentions and cares for the soldiers, but he doesn't know that only iron-blooded discipline can protect more soldiers. What if a fight really happened that day, and serious consequences would be caused? Who will be responsible for the consequences?"
Even Chen Ying, a veteran in his 60s and 70s, said this, and everyone nodded.
King Li did indeed handle this matter decisively. If he had been blindly kind like King Xian, it might not have been easy.
At this time, Lieutenant General Shen added: "Your Majesty, in fact, the prince did not kill those two soldiers in the end. His move was to warn them that if they dare to commit the crime again, they will not be spared lightly. The two soldiers saved their lives and immediately did not dare to do so. They were fighting among themselves again. On the contrary, they actually started to make peace and slowly united. Without the warning from the prince, they would not have repented!"
When everyone heard this, they admired Chu Xuanchen's decisiveness even more.
From this incident, we can see that he is very capable, decisive and able to convince people.
Moreover, he only beat the soldiers and did not actually kill them, which shows that he is brave, resourceful, and has a benevolent heart.
