Chapter 174 – Battle of Liyang - Part 4
Hua Xiong, the grand commander under Dong Zhuo, led his men to scout the Taihang Mountain, north of their current camp. He was ordered by Li Ru to monitor every pathway from Ye territory toward the west through this mountain range.
Taihang Mountain Range located on the west of Julu, east of Jinyang, west of Ye City, northwest of Liyang City, and north of Henei City. This mountain separated the Ji Province and the Bing Province which extended over 400 kilometers from north to south. This mountain range was one of the strategic locations suitable for the defenders as one of the ancient checkpoint, "The Hu Gate", was built between the west of Ye City and east of Shangdang City of Zhang Yang, the city which Liu Ping Army was heading to at the moment.
This was his fifth day of monitoring. He began questioning Li Ru if he was sane or why he had told himself to wait here.
