This is a Chinese name; the family name is Kang.

Kang Junli (康君立) (847–894) was a military general in imperial China's Tang Dynasty, serving the Shatuo leader Li Keyong.

He was eventually poisoned to death by Li Keyong for speaking ill of the already deceased Li Cunxiao, with whom he did not get along.[1]

Biography[]

Kang Junli was from a powerful family in Yuzhou (蔚州; in modern Yu County, Hebei) near Tang Dynasty's northern border. Some time in the 870s, he was serving as an assistant captain (牙校) under Duan Wenchu (段文楚), the Yunzhou (雲州; modern Datong, Shanxi) defense commissioner (防禦使). At that time the Tang Dynasty was overran by bandits, and Duan did not treat his soldiers well, even reducing their salaries. Kang, as well as Xue Tieshan (薛鐵山), Cheng Huaixin (程懷信), Wang Xingshen (王行審) and Li Cunzhang plotted to join Li Keyong.[1]
