Raise your finger and da judge sentence the guilty of genocide in Cholula, the jury looks brown and white skin, hear the words of his heart that spreads the mixture of Mexican and English blood, and that serve the sentence in the strength of steel and obsidian spirit that keeps the body of the people of our land .
In Tlaxcala land chiefs met with the 4 domains, Hernán Cortés took the hand of Xicotencatl "old" , asking for the city of Tenochtitlan and its emperor. The old man talked of the shape and depth of its lagoon, its roads, its bridges, how they would be defended. Moctezuma said people had great powers of war, and one hundred and fifty thousand men sent into battle to take a village. He told of men who died, those who were prisoners for sacrifice and enemies of the Mexica peoples. His eyes were opened to have a very large city, a day's walk is now called Cholula and is where Moctezuma has captaincy s us warriors. To this city came one morning Malinalli Cortes and accompanied by English soldiers and warriors Tlaxcala.
The land tlatoanis Cholula Cortés went out to meet out of town, ask to keep out enemies Malinche Tlaxcala to the city and less to see them armed , which accept leaving them outside the venue. After a solemn welcome Cholula d and good will, Moctezuma sent a squad of twenty thousand men to carry English tied to their city. Two days fed them great feasts, and the third were not served at all, or caciques, or local priests visited them, but if the emperor arrived ambassadors Aztec to ask them not to come to their city because they had to be fed for their land and wanted an immediate response back to Montezuma.
