Three Kingdoms period inChina . He was a local ofZuopingyi commandery (左馮翊) of the capital province,Sili (司隸).Liang Xing was one of the generals who answered
Ma Chao calls to resistCao Cao in 211. But after the disastrousBattle of Tong Pass , the alliance broke down and he was reduced to banditry. He raided the Zuopingyi commandery and caused the officials in the area to flee in panic. The Grand Administrator of the commandery,Zheng Hun (鄭渾), observed that the raiders were only held together by force and so Zheng used various physiological plots to chip away Liang's bandits. Liang Xing and his remaining followers became afraid and fled to their base at Fu city (鄜城, near present-dayLechuan inShaanxi ). Cao Cao then sentXiahou Yuan andXu Huang to aid Zheng Hun to attack Fu city, and soon they took the head of Liang Xing and the rest of his party were all pacified.In the novel "
Romance of the Three Kingdoms ", he was one of the eight knights serving underHan Sui . When relations between Ma Chao and Han Sui soured as a result ofJia Xu 's ploy, Liang Xing and Ma Wan (馬玩) planned to assassinate Ma Chao. But Ma Chao got wind of the plot, and killed them preemptively.References
