Chen Xi had warned Gan Ning a long time ago: within our own borders, if you hit me and I hit you, it doesn't matter; but once we're outside the country, if someone lays a hand on our own brothers, don't ask why. Even if it's our fault, we kill the other side first and then ask questions. In this era with no such thing as human rights, only your fists are real.
If it had been before, Gan Ning would have scoffed at the first half of that line, but after going abroad once, getting his entire army wiped out by Kasani, and then secretly studying in Kushan for over a year, Gan Ning truly understood just how correct Chen Xi's words were.
