inclusion of both (Anales de Cuauhtitlan 1975:58; Códice Telleriano-Remensis 196465:300; Códice Vaticano 196465:266; Chimalpahin 1965:115 [relación 3], 224 [relación 7]). Torquemada's claim that Cuauhpilollan was conquered during this campaign and also that the campaign extended as far as (but did not include) the province of Cuezalcuitlapillan is unlikely, and other sources place this conquest more reasonably in the following campaign in the Huaxyacac area. |

The route of this conquest probably led southeast out of the basin of Mexico to Chinantlan before turning northeast toward Cualtepec (265 km. or 164 mi.; 8 to 14 days). The historical accounts indicate the conquest of the people of the Cuetlachtlan area. Thus, a general battle may have been fought, resulting in the conquest of Quimichtlan, Acatlan, Tlallocatepec, and Coyolapan (78 km. or 48 mi.; 3 to 4 days, if fought in the vicinity of Ahuizilapan). Alternatively, each of these cities may have been conquered individually, with thrusts both north and south, but a general battle was likelier. The return to Tenochtitlan could have been made by reversing the trek through the lowlands to Ahuilizapan and then going west to the basin of Mexico by way of Totomihuacan. |

The probable route of this campaign led out of the basin of Mexico and went south by way of Cuauhnahuac and then southeast to Acatlan. From there the route probably crossed over into the plain where Mizquitlan and Tlacotepec were located, proceeded down the valley to Xaltepc and then to Ayotochcuitlatlan (Cuicatlan), and continued southeast to Huaxyacac, Teotzapotlan, and Mictlan. Then the route probably continued into the Tecuantepec area (the province of Quetzalcuitlapillan mentioned by Torquemada) and on to Cuauhpiloayan (800 km. or 500 mi.; 25 to 42 days). The return could have been a reversal of the outward route; or the army may have continued north on the Gulf coastal plain and reentered the highlands at Ahuilizapan before returning to the basin of Mexico along established and shorter routes (650 km. or 400 mi.; 20 to 34 days). |
