China's Largest Army Betrayed Its Empire to Become Vietnam's Ancestors?

This remains one of ancient china's most enduring mystery. As the Qin Dynasty stared into the abyss of destruction, its once-invincible army vanished into the chaos of a falling empire. 209 BC, the mighty Qin Empire faced imminent collapse. The Emperor desperately summoned his southern legion—a massive force of 500,000 elite soldiers. But they never came. Instead of saving their homeland, they sealed the borders, watched the empire burn, and vanished into the southern jungles. This is the story of the "Lost Legion" of the Qin Dynasty. It is a tale of a brilliant general named Zhao Tuo (Triệu Đà) who made a shocking choice between loyalty and survival. But the story doesn't end there. Did this army of "traitors" eventually become the founding fathers of a new nation? We dive deep into the controversial origins of the Nanyue Kingdom (Nam Việt) and its connection to modern Vietnam.
