The Prussian army sent to Belgium in 1815 has been called the worst they fielded during the French Wars; Napoleon laid the heaviest of the 16 June blows on them, but did not destroy them. That day, d'Erlon's corps was pulled back and forth by Ney and Napoleon, and saw no action.

Wellington told Blucher after his OTL Ligny defeat that he would make a stand if he could give him a corps. If Napoleon had brought d'Erlon's corps up against Blucher's flank/rear shattered that army, would Wellington still make the offer, would Blucher accept it, and would Napoleon be able to force a battle by attacking Wellington's communications with Ostend?
