Napoleon's plan had a great chance of success, and it was impossible for the coalition to leave a large number of troops in every city to garrison, and if that were to happen, there would be no doubt that the coalition forces would be scattered over the territory of France, and would not be able to gather their strength to attack Paris.
Just like the Japanese army in World War II, at the beginning, in each county town, in addition to the transportation points and the places where soldiers must fight, each county town was only stationed with less than 100 Japanese troops at most, and just like that, the Japanese had to support the local puppet army to achieve the purpose of suppressing various places.
Scattering forces to occupy various places is a taboo for soldiers until the war is completely won, and no one can easily make such a mistake.
As for the occupation of various regions, in addition to sending some troops to occupy strategically valuable cities, it mainly relies on the organized auxiliary forces of each region and the deterrent power of the troops in the cities.
Just after Napoleon came up with his idea, Lucien thought for a while and then said to Napoleon with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, please leave this task to me!
I'm sure I'll be able to get the job done, and trust me!
” Hearing Lucien's request, Napoleon's gaze froze on Lucien's body, especially Lucien's empty arm made Napoleon's heart ache.
"Lucien, this mission may not seem very dangerous, but we all know that the enemy will not allow us to operate in the rear of the enemy!
And even as soon as the news reaches the enemy's command, then there is no doubt that you will be under the maximum pressure, we are now short of cavalry, and the enemy has a large number of cavalry, which is very disadvantageous for us.
So this task is still up to me, and you and Rebecca will stay in Compiègne, and if all goes well, not even wait for the enemy to come to Compiègne.
They will have to pump the main forces of the army back!
” Napoleon felt guilty for Lucien, his younger brother had already lost an arm in the war, Napoleon didn't want to put Lucien in the same danger as last time, after all, he lost an arm last time, who knows if he lost his life next time!
Napoleon and Lucien's elder brother Joseph had already died on the battlefield, and Napoleon did not want his clever brother to repeat Joseph's mistakes.
As if noticing Napoleon's gaze resting on his empty sleeves, Lucien's face turned red.
Thinking that Napoleon had despised himself because he had lost an arm, Lucien, feeling discriminated against, immediately shouted: "Your Excellency, is it possible that you, like everyone else, think that I have lost an arm and think that I am useless!
This arm of mine was lost for the glorious part of France, and this is a testament to my merits!
” Seeing Lucien's excited expression, and hearing Lucien's roar, Napoleon couldn't help but bow his head and fall silent.
Napoleon did not despise Lucien.
He was really worried that he would lose a loved one again.
At this moment, Rebecca, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that the atmosphere between the two brothers in front of him was not right, so he opened his mouth and said softly: "Lucien, Napoleon is also worried about you, you should know very well that Brother Joseph has left us, and Napoleon does not want you to be the next to leave him."
"Rebecca.
I knew, but from the moment I joined the military, I knew very well what my mission was.
I'm not fighting for the Bourbons, I'm fighting for the Bonapartes, for my brother Napoleon!
If death is truly that frightening, then let it come!
I've seen its power last time, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of it now, on the contrary, it's a challenge that makes my blood boil!
The enemy is the murderer who killed my brother Joseph.
I have to avenge my brother, it's my God-given duty!
” Lucien's words could be described as impassioned, and after he finished speaking, looking at Lucien's young face, Napoleon had to make up his mind.
Napoleon walked a few steps slowly and stood still in front of Lucien, and then said to Lucien: "Lieutenant Colonel, please stand upright!"
Hear the words from Napoleon's mouth.
Lucien immediately reflexively tensed his legs.
"With the authority bestowed upon me by His Majesty Louis XVI, King of France, I appoint Lieutenant Colonel Lucien as commander of the Odd Corps, and with immediate effect Lucien will select five thousand soldiers to go to Rossières according to the previous plan, and then make a detour to the rear of the enemy army for an invasion!
This task is very dangerous, so please do it yourself!
” By the time he said the second half of the sentence, Napoleon had already spat out word by word.
Every word was bitten very hard by Napoleon.
There were less than 8,000 men in the entire Compiègne, and if Lucien could not effectively contain the enemy after leaving Compiègne, then once the coalition troops came to Compiègne, even if Napoleon was no longer a god of war, it would be impossible for him to lead less than 3,000 troops to defeat the 50,000-strong coalition army on a frontal battlefield.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Marshal!"
Lucien replied loudly, then raised his remaining right hand and gave a slow, firm salute to Napoleon, before he strode out of the room.
After Lucien left, Napoleon said a few more words to Rebecca, and then let Rebecca out of the room.
Leaving the room, Rebecca immediately went to his place in the city of Compiègne, where he lived surrounded by a grove of trees, although Compiègne was a famous city of forests, but there were not many elegant houses in the city with such a grove.
After returning to the residence, Rebecca told everyone to leave their room, and when Rebecca was the only one left in the room, Rebecca walked to the desk in the room, spread out a piece of paper, and picked up a pen and quickly wrote on the paper.
When she had finished writing, she rolled the paper into a thin roll and pushed open the door of her room and looked out, closing the door and walking to the far right of the room, where there was a large balcony facing the grove that was clustered around the edge of the house.
Rebecca looked left and right, then took her hand into her mouth and whistled softly.
After the whistle was blown, a white pigeon flew to the edge of the balcony, and Rebecca held the pigeon in his hand, the expression on his face was a little complicated, but after a while, Rebecca still stuffed the roll of paper that he had written before on a small cylinder tied to the pigeon's feet, and after tying it, Rebecca stroked the pigeon's feathers and threw the pigeon into the sky.
The carrier pigeon flew away, and looking at the back of the carrier pigeon leaving, Rebecca's eyes were a little distracted.

Rebecca did not do less such things, and Rebecca once hesitated, after all, the most important thing in a woman's life is to find a man who loves her and loves her, and Napoleon's attitude towards Rebecca is undoubtedly what every woman dreams of.
But when Rebecca was stationed in the Austrian Netherlands, she knew very well in her heart that Napoleon loved Queen Mary and not her.
No matter how well Napoleon treated her, she was always a substitute for a certain woman, nothing more.
At the beginning, when Rebecca infiltrated Napoleon's side, the task given by her superiors was to let her lurk safely, so she did not let Rebecca transmit any information, but after Rebecca was safely lurked, when the Prussian side asked Rebecca to transmit information, the hesitant Rebecca did not send any information on the grounds that the French army was very tightly supervised, which also led to the Prussian side having no expectation that the British expeditionary force would be completely annihilated.
However, after realizing that she was only a substitute, Rebecca changed her previous style and began to send information to the Prussian side, and even after Napoleon became suspicious of her, Rebecca faithfully carried out her mission by various means.
It can be said that the coalition forces defeated the French army in the Austrian Netherlands, and the role played by Rebecca was completely indispensable.
When Rebecca had released the dove, she sat down quietly on the edge of her bed, closing her eyes and recalling every scene since she had met Napoleon.
After a while, Napoleon walked into Rebecca's room.
A smile appeared on Rebecca's face when he saw Napoleon walk in.
Without waiting for Rebecca to speak, Napoleon whispered: "Why are you doing that?"
Rebecca was stunned, but a good spy always didn't let his face change in mood, so Rebecca's face only looked a little puzzled and asked: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you're talking about?"
Napoleon silently walked across from Rebecca, then dragged over a chair and sat down "You should know that I've been sending people to follow you, but I haven't noticed your abnormality all the time, but the white dove just now was still seen by my people, say, why are you doing this!"
Napoleon's face looked rather ugly, but after Napoleon's words, the smile on Rebecca's face grew "I was originally Prussian!
Isn't it right for me to do this for the sake of Prussia!
” Hearing Rebecca's answer, Napoleon was speechless.
Oh, yes!
Rebecca was originally Prussian, isn't it normal for her to infiltrate Napoleon's side and engage in espionage, could it be said that Rebecca should be made to fight for the interests of France?
Isn't that a joke!
