I pronounce cān hé bēi myself, but Pi is a polyphonic character, so I am not sure how to pronounce it in place names here.
I tend to read the pronunciation bēi when it means hillside
Also, gin is also a polyphonic word, I don’t know whether it should be pronounced can or shen
There are many opinions on the Internet:
1. Northeast of present-day Liangcheng, Inner Mongolia
2. Between present-day Fengzhen and Liangcheng, Inner Mongolia
3. Northeast of present-day Yanggao County, Shanxi Province

Look at the map below, which shows the dividing line between Inner Mongolia and Shanxi. Liangcheng and Yanggao are not far apart, and both are probably correct.
