Lat Son base - where Female General Le Chan established a base and died during the uprising of Hai Ba Trung in the Spring of Canh Ty in the year 40 (AD). This was the first uprising of the Au Lac people against the Northern Eastern Han feudal force. The uprising won, Trung Trac proclaimed himself king, named Le Chan "Princess Thanh Chan" and assigned the task: "In charge of internal military authority" stationed at the center of Giao Chi to guard the East Sea. North of our country). Some time later, the Eastern Han Dynasty sent Ma Vien to return with troops to invade us. The Hai Ba Trung uprising failed. Le Chan secretly sent his army to operate in the Hai Phong area (Kien An). ) - Hai Duong - Thai Binh - Ha Nam today. When the war against the Eastern Han invaders fell into a dangerous situation, Female General Le Chan continued to sail with her navy to the south of the Red River Delta and chose the rugged mountainous area of ​​La Son (Kim Bang, Ha Nam) as a base. Keep defending to block the Eastern Han army. The reason Le Chan chose Lat Son as his base is because this place has a dangerous location, its back leans against the bow-shaped mountain range in the West running from North to South; In front, to the East are the Day River and the Ngan River like two moats. The terrain of the base can be attacked when advancing, retreating can be held, and the ends can respond to each other. The defensive battle was built in the valleys in front of the mountain, in caves and rocky hills stretching about 7 km from North to South. The head of the base is in the North, placing an outpost in Moc Bai valley, where the vanguard army is arranged to block the first attack of the enemy... behind Moc Bai is Doc Voi Truot hill where the soldiers are arranged. .

Diem Cave on the southern slopes of Be Valley is where the headquarters is located. To the west of Dau Valley is Thuoi Mountain (about 225m high), where the watchtower is located, observing the entire base.

Behind Thung Dau are two valleys, Doi Nhat and Doi Nhi, where the two armies are stationed, and Dong Loan valley near Giat Dau, where the fiercest battle took place between the insurgents and the invaders. Ong Tuong Hill, the starting point of the base, is not far from the Ngan River to the west.

The enemy quickly destroyed the Moc Bai outpost, poured into Hien valley and Be valley, and drove the insurgents to Dong Go. The final fierce battle took place in Dong Loan valley. Due to not having enough force to defeat the enemy, female general Le Chan and her confidant retreated to Giat Dau mountain. From the top of a high mountain, on a steep slope, Female General Le Chan committed suicide to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.
