El más principal oficio del señor era el exercicio de la guerra, así para defenderse de los enemigos como para conquistar provincias ajenas. Y cuando quería acometer guerra contra algún señor o provincia, juntaba a sus soldados y dábales parte de lo que quería hacer. Y luego enviaban espías a aquella tal provincia que querían conquistar para que mirasen la dispositión de la tierra y la llanura y asperura della, y los pasos peligrosos y los lugares por donde seguramente podrían entrar. Y todo lo traían pintado y lo presentaban al señor para que viese la disposición de la tierra. Visto esto, el señor mandaba llamar a los capitanes principales, que siempre eran dos: uno se llamaba tlacochcálcatl; otro, tlacatécatl.
