The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong

As he was speaking, Kiskis looked back from outside. The old man seemed to have suddenly become older and thinner, and his back began to bend. He coughed loudly several times and said to his deputy Tunu with deep concern, "The soldiers stayed in this place as big as a palm, resting without eating or thirst, making noise and shouting. I think it would be better to let them retreat now and leave early and live well, so as not to let the Spaniards chase after him tomorrow, and it would be too late."

Tunu asked, "Great Commander Kiskis, where are we going to retreat?" Kiskis said, "Of course it's Kiskis." Tunu said, "But what to do if you retreat to Quito? The Spaniards will definitely fight." Kiskis said, "It's easy to get to Quito. It's our hometown, and there are many people and familiar land. If we fight with the Spaniards, we have an advantage." Tunu asked, "What are the advantages?" Kiskis said, "I didn't say that we are familiar there." Tunu said, "It's not that we are familiar there, but it's not a defeat. We have fought so many battles with the Spaniards, but when did we win?"

Kiskis was unhappy when he heard this and said, "According to what you said, we won't fight anymore, we might as well surrender." Tunu sighed and said, "It will be defeated whether to fight or not. So, I think that since I can't win so many battles, it's better to make peace with the Spanish, so as not to let so many soldiers die."

When Kiskis heard this, he slapped the stone table and cursed, "Bold, why, do you want to surrender? Do you want to betray?" Tunu corrected, "It's not surrender or betrayal, I say it's peace." Kiskis said in a scruple, "How to make peace? If you don't surrender, can they make peace with you?" Then, he shouted to the generals next to him, "Tie me this betrayer who wants to surrender to the white people." However, instead of catching the deputy commander Tunu, the generals held a short axe and surrounded Kiskis with wide eyes.

Kiskis didn't expect the general to come to besiege him together, so he said to the generals, "You all want to betray me? This is a crime of beheading and extermination." However, Nanaska said, "We don't want to betray anyone, but we are tired of fighting and don't want to fight anymore, because if we continue fighting, we can only die. Therefore, we don't want to follow you to die."

Kiskis pointed at everyone and cursed, "You cowards have scared the white Spanish people." He said, and shouted out, "Guards." However, before he could finish his words, several sharp short axes had already cut off his head.

A group of guards rushed in and saw that their commander Kiskis' head had been cut off, and they were so scared that they were at a loss. At this time, Deputy Commander Tunu said to the guards, "Kiskiskis wants to betray the empire and has been executed by us. You all return to your own ranks to obey orders." The guards listened to the deputy commander's words and left the stone house together.

After killing Kiskis, Tunu said to several generals, "If we kill Kiskis, we can't go back to Kido, so we can only let the soldiers disband and go home." The other generals thought about it, and they could only nodded together. So Tunu walked out of the stone house and said to the crowded soldiers in the castle, "Soldiers, we will never win the battle with the white Spanish people. In the end, we can only die. Therefore, I announced that we will disband and go home, and don't go to war and die."

Hearing this, the soldiers were stunned at first, then jumped and cheered, and ran around to tell each other. Immediately, the soldiers formed groups and started walking towards the way home to the north. Originally, they had just fought a defeat and had a pessimistic mood and a low morale. However, now they were not escaping or retreating, but going home, so the entire northward road was filled with laughter and singing.

The next morning, when Manco and Almagro surrounded the castle with their soldiers, they found that the castle was empty. When they entered the stone house, they saw someone's head cut off and lying on the cold stone floor. Manco recognized him at first sight as Kiskis, the commander of the Quito army.
