ABSTRACT

Having determined to march to the Collao, the Inca set out from the city of Cuzco with a large force, passing by Muyna, and by the towns of Urcos and Quiquijana. The Canches replied to the messengers that the Inca should not pass by reason of what they said, and that they were there to defend their country which had been invaded. Many died on both sides, and the Canches were defeated. After a long time the pursuers returned with the spoils, bringing with them many prisoners, both men and women. After passing some days in arranging these affairs, and in making the Canches understand that they must live together in towns, and must not engage in quarrels or wars amongst themselves, he passed onwards. The Inca advanced and, when he approached Luracachi and heard of the good will of the Canas, he was much pleased.
