ABSTRACT

In compliance with Inca orders, many chiefs assembled, with a great number of armed men, supplied with the arms they use, which are slings, axes, clubs, bolas, darts, and some lances. Next day he put on another, always wearing that of the tribe which was invited to the entertainment and drinking bout. When the great dances were performed, the square of Cuzco was encircled by a chain of gold, which was ordered to be made out of the quantity coming as tribute from the districts. Captains belonging to each nation were appointed, and Lloque Yupanqui was general of the whole army. The Inca captains took up a position overlooking the valley, and wished to gain the goodwill of the Huancas, and to induce them to come to Cuzco and recognise the king as their lord, without fighting. There was a great battle, in which they say that many were killed on both sides, those of Cuzco remaining conquerors.
