Wei Kang (died 213), courtesy name Yuanjiang,[1] was a Chinese politician who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.
[2][3] The Sanfu Juelu recorded that Wei Kang was already eight chi and five cun tall (approximately 1.96 metres) when he was just 14 years old.
[6] In the subsequent years, Ma Chao, with support from the Qiang tribes and the warlord Zhang Lu, constantly raided and attacked the lands in Liang Province.
At the time, Wei Kang was stationed in Liang Province's capital, Ji (兾; also called Jicheng, in present-day Gangu County, Gansu), which came under siege by Ma Chao.
However, Wei Kang managed to conclude peace negotiations with Ma Chao, with both sides agreeing to end the conflict.
