Liang Xing 梁興

In the 3rd month of the 16th year of Jian'an (211), when Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, the commanders of Guanzhong suspected that Zhong Yao meant to attack them, and Ma Chao at last rebelled together with Han Sui, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Cheng Yi and others. In the 7th month, in autumn, Cao Cao personally marched west and encamped facing Ma Chao and the others across Tong Pass. Records, Wei 1 §109–110

According to the Biography of Xu Huang, when Han Sui, Ma Chao and others rebelled in the region west of the passes, Cao Cao stationed Xu Huang at Fenyin to pacify Hedong. When Cao Cao, arriving at Tong Pass, worried that he could not cross the Yellow River, Xu Huang said that the enemy had no plan, since they did not guard Puban separately, and proposed to cross at Puban Ford with picked troops and cut off their rear. Xu Huang crossed the ford with four thousand infantry and cavalry, and before his trenches and palisades were finished, the enemy commander Liang Xing attacked him at night with more than five thousand infantry and cavalry. Xu Huang struck and drove him off, and Cao Cao's army was able to cross. Records, Wei 17 §61–62

In the 9th month Cao Cao crossed the Wei River; later, setting a date for a decisive battle, he crushed Ma Chao and the others and beheaded Cheng Yi, Li Kan and others, while Han Sui, Ma Chao and others fled to Liang Province. In the 12th month, returning from Anding, Cao Cao left Xiahou Yuan to garrison Chang'an. In spring, in the 1st month of the 17th year of Jian'an (212), when Cao Cao returned to Ye, Liang Xing and others of Ma Chao's remnant followers stationed themselves at Lantian, and Cao Cao had Xiahou Yuan attack and pacify them.

According to the Biography of Zheng Hun, while Zheng Hun was Left Supporter of Fengyi (Zuo Fengyi), Liang Xing and others plundered more than five thousand households of officials and commoners and turned to banditry; the counties could not resist them and, all in fear, moved their offices to lodge at the commandery seat. Those in council all said they should move to defensible ground, but Zheng Hun said, 'Liang Xing and his men have been broken and scattered and are hiding in the mountain fastnesses, and most of those who follow them do so only under coercion,' and argued that they should open wide the road to surrender and make known their kindness and good faith. He then gathered officials and commoners, repaired the city walls and prepared defenses. Records, Wei 16 §82–83

Zheng Hun mobilized the people to pursue the bandits, promising them seven parts in ten of whatever they captured as a reward. The bandits who had lost their wives and children all came back asking to surrender, and Zheng Hun made them seize other women before returning their own wives and children. The bandits thus came to raid one another and their band scattered, and those who came out after heeding the exhortations of the officials and commoners sent into the mountain valleys followed one after another. Records, Wei 16 §84

Liang Xing and the others, afraid, gathered their remaining followers at Fucheng. The Grand Progenitor sent Xiahou Yuan to aid the commandery in attacking them, and Zheng Hun led the officials and commoners first up the walls and beheaded Liang Xing and his remaining followers. Records, Wei 16 §85

Other biographies also each record this event. The Biography of Xiahou Yuan says that in the 17th year of Jian'an (212) Xiahou Yuan, as acting General Protector of the Army, garrisoned Chang'an, besieged and took Liang Xing, a remnant follower of Han Sui and Ma Chao, at Hu County, beheaded him and was enfeoffed as Marquis of Bochang Village. The Biography of Zhang He says that Zhang He, together with Xiahou Yuan, attacked Liang Xing, the bandit of Fu County, and the Biography of Xu Huang records that when Cao Cao returned to Ye, Xu Huang, together with Xiahou Yuan, pacified the remaining bandits of Fu County and Xiayang, beheaded Liang Xing and received the surrender of more than three thousand households.
