During 1813 (after Lutzen, before Lipzig), Metternich made an attempt for a peace deal between Napoleon and the Allies.

Austria would not be happy of a too-much-great Russsia, and in Metternich's opinion France should have to remain a major player to be an effective counterbalance.
If Prussia and Russia could be induced to bicker on Poland, all the better.

Most of Russian Generals were not happy of the war, too, expecially after Lutzen, and felt that the Tsar should try to arrange a deal and return home.
(Alexander was not of the opinion)

The prussian king, also was not happy of going on waging the war, but it was not to him to decide so if alexander wanted to go on fighting.

Napoleon himself longed for peace at this point and ordered his envoy to have a peace "whatever the cost".

Note that Metternich tried not to include England in negotiations, since he knew england requests would probably be unacceptable.

Thus French, Prussian, Russian and Austrian delegates convened in Prague to attempt peace talks.
OTL the conference failed because of Alexander's will.

What if his generals convinced the Tsar to attempt a peace deal instead of risking a battle?
