漢王諒反，煬帝疑抗為應，遣李子雄馳往代之。 When Liang, Prince of Han, rebelled, Emperor Yang suspected Kang might join him and sent Li Zixiong at full speed to relieve him of command.

煬帝遣抗出靈武，逴護長城，聞高祖已定京師，喜曰：「此吾家婿，豁達有大度，真撥亂主也。」 Emperor Yang sent Kang to Lingwu to patrol the Great Wall. Learning that Gaozu had taken the capital, Kang exclaimed with delight, "The son-in-law of our house is broad-minded and magnanimous — a true prince to restore order."
