Kang Junli (Chinese: 康君立; 847–894) was a military general in imperial China's Tang dynasty, serving the Shatuo leader Li Keyong.
[1] 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).
Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan (薛阿檀), Shi Yan (史儼), An Quanjun (安全俊) and An Xiuxiu (安休休) were under his command.
[5] After the defeat of the imperial court and the recapture of Luzhou, Kang was named the military governor of Zhaoyi Circuit, but Li Cunxiao believed he deserved the post more and went into a jealous rage.
[5] In the Yuan dynasty play "A Grieving Lady Deng Painfully Laments Cunxiao" (鄧夫人苦痛哭存孝) by Guan Hanqing, which was translated as "Death of the Winged-Tiger General" by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang in 1958,[6] Kang Junli was along with Li Cunxin one of the antagonists who were blamed for Li Cunxiao's unjustified death.
