审荣 / Shen Rong (late Han)

Overview

审荣 / Shen Rong (late Han) is introduced in Hanji 1063 as 审配’s nephew and the east-gate commandant at 邺城. His only current wiki scene is decisive: he opens the east gate at night and lets 曹操’s army enter, ending Shen Pei’s defense after 袁尚’s failed relief.

Current Profile

The source places Shen Rong inside Ye’s defensive command structure, not as an outside negotiator. Because he holds the east gate, his choice converts siege pressure, morale damage, and Yuan Shang’s failed rescue into a direct breach of the city.

His role is also familial. The episode identifies him as Shen Pei’s nephew, which makes the betrayal more pointed: the city does not fall only through external force or generic panic, but through an insider from the defender’s own kin-connected circle.

Key Characteristics

• East-gate commandant at Ye during Cao Cao’s final siege phase.
• Nephew of Shen Pei, the main Yuan-side defender in the source sequence.
• Insider actor whose gate opening turns accumulated siege pressure into Cao-side entry.
• One-source figure whose broader motives and later fate are not yet established.

Evidence

• Gate-command position: Hanji 1063 identifies Shen Rong as the east-gate commandant at Ye.
• Familial link: Hanji 1063 presents him as Shen Pei’s nephew.
• Decisive breach: Hanji 1063 says he opens the east gate at night and lets Cao’s army enter Ye.

Qualifications

This is a one-source page. The transcript renders the name as 沈荣, while the wiki normalizes to 审荣 because the episode also renders 审配 as 沈沛/沈佩 and the surrounding Ye sequence matches the established Shen Pei route. Shen Rong’s motives, reward, and later career are not established by this source.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 1063’s east-gate opening scene at Ye.

Relationships

• 审配 - uncle and defender whose city position Shen Rong’s gate opening undermines.
• 邺城 - city where Shen Rong holds the east gate.
• 曹操 - besieger whose army enters through Shen Rong’s gate opening.
• 袁尚 - claimant whose failed relief leaves Ye vulnerable before the gate opening.
• 战利品实证瓦解士气 - morale-pressure context immediately preceding the city’s breach.
