That is why Changsun Wuji was so worried when he heard that Li Shimin had exiled Li Jue here.
Because Zhi Shisi cannot be won over by anyone!
Changsun Wuji had cultivated a considerable network of connections in the court over the years, but he was utterly helpless against someone like Zhishi Sili.
Upon hearing that Li Jue had arrived, Zhi Shi Si Li hurriedly ran three miles outside Xiazhou City to greet him.
This is not only out of respect for Li Shimin, but also out of respect between soldiers.
After all, Li Jue's military achievements were all earned through his own hard work on the Liaodong battlefield, without any exaggeration.

"I just wonder if he'll still be able to win over the people after being driven away by this humble servant, hehehe..."
"After all, the Xueyantuo have many enemies. Whether it's the Western Turks who are on good terms with Your Highness, or the various Uyghur tribes, they all wish they could wipe out the Xueyantuo, hehehe..."
