Preparations for the campaign at the other end of the Empire, went with the elite of his troops, counting among them with the collaboration of two of his sons Cuyuchi Ninan, a skilled warrior and a young but experienced Atahualpa. In Cuzco and small would be Huascar Inca, Manco Inca Paullu.
At his hometown and far Tumibamba, rose Mullu Court Palace, which would be located a gold statue of his mother Mama Ocllo, which would leave the Canari care nationwide. It also built the Casa del Sol and the Viracocha Pachacamac Ticci. Finally would arrive at Quito, where to order dispatched emissaries peaceful surrender of the rebels, getting a hostile response. It is here that the High Command meeting, we decided to launch a campaign in the region of the Pasture (Awa Pats or "people scorpion"), for which is designated Collasuyo captains, who claimed to be the most able to fight in regions such as that.
Apparently the statement was true, because the victory was very simple. Immediately upon arrival of the night arranged a triumphant celebration among the soldiers and was at that time the army of the Grasses fell upon the unsuspecting Inca, destroying almost completely. The few who saved their lives were retreating until the guard of dried apricots (which had been left behind) successfully defended the withdrawal. It says here Ninan Cuyochi wore both as Atahualpa.
Knowing the facts, Huayna Capac decided to send this time the bulk of his army, which dominated the situation smoothly and caused great mortality among the grasses, not save women and children. Since it was rainy season, drove them all to Tumibamba not before he left troops and representatives in the region.
Previous call reinforcements, ordered the attack on caranguis region. The surrender of the first fort was achieved with a lot of trouble. Then, his eyes turned to the main stronghold of the caranguis, in the heart of his dominions, which was defended not only by nature but also by otabalos and Cayambis, supporting them. Just to avoid further accessions to these, Huayna Capac ordered his top leaders go for around announcing that the Inca would retaliate against nations that support one way or another to the besieged.
Fulfilled the mission, launched the first attack on the fort. A failure would shake the foundations sound deeper the Empire itself. There was, for the first time in history, the fall of the Inca. His litter, borne by Apricots, was attacked by the Cusco Cayambis and gave way, causing the Inca severely impacting the ground. The confusion was complete and could only save the life Huayna Capac to be protected by three of his most trusted captains. Finally, Apricots also support and managed to salvage the Inca.
What followed these events is remarkable because the Inca decided to show his anger toward his captains and their noble Orejones through various actions, such as decreasing food rations or not invite to parties in the camp. These, to be relegated publicly took the image of the sun and headed to Cusco, being intercepted by messengers of the Inca, who proceeded to capture. Sent a final response received by "Inga say to your little addiction and hunger make us hurry us from Cuzco."
Finally, Huayna Capac Orejones addresses the reproaches them in person and his attitude. Dried apricots anyway continue their march, and Huayna Capac in unusual act calls for the withdrawal of the statue of his mother, who was in the temple, they put in front of the deserters. This done, an Indian Canari out the road and, doing as if possessed by the spirit of the Coya, convinces them to stay. The answer to the Inca Apricots: "We want more to be vassals inovedientes disadvantaged children who do not." The Inca used this device to save time and organize a banquet to entertain his captains.
This fact is explained by a strong Andean custom, based on reciprocity: Andean Lord all his subjects should offer gifts and favors in exchange for their work, and Huayna Capac was ignoring this obligation to their hosts, which were formed by several small armies under lords of various ethnic groups. These formed the heart of Tahuantinsuyo. The Inca had to offer the customary ceremonies of the request for favors, to bring his armies back to their command, before starting another attack.
The attack on the fort to resume participation Apricots', who fought so well that managed to win 4 of the 5 walls of the same. However, the fall of the Inca's brother, Auqui Here, forced a rethinking of the situation. Huayna Capac himself would lead the actions.
