In
view
of
all
this
information
,
when
the
enemy
has
scattered
his
forces
in
large
detachments
,
and
with
Napoleon
and
his
Guards
in
Moscow
,
is
it
possible
that
the
enemy
's
forces
confronting
you
are
so
considerable
as
not
to
allow
of
your
taking
the
offensive
?
On
the
contrary
,
he
is
probably
pursuing
you
with
detachments
,
or
at
most
with
an
army
corps
much
weaker
than
the
army
entrusted
to
you
.
It
would
seem
that
,
availing
yourself
of
these
circumstances
,
you
might
advantageously
attack
a
weaker
one
and
annihilate
him
,
or
at
least
oblige
him
to
retreat
,
retaining
in
our
hands
an
important
part
of
the
provinces
now
occupied
by
the
enemy
,
and
thereby
averting
danger
from
Túla
and
other
towns
in
the
interior
.
You
will
be
responsible
if
the
enemy
is
able
to
direct
a
force
of
any
size
against
Petersburg
to
threaten
this
capital
in
which
it
has
not
been
possible
to
retain
many
troops
;
for
with
the
army
entrusted
to
you
,
and
acting
with
resolution
and
energy
,
you
have
ample
means
to
avert
this
fresh
calamity
.
Remember
that
you
have
still
to
answer
to
our
offended
country
for
the
loss
of
Moscow
.
You
have
experienced
my
readiness
to
reward
you
.
That
readiness
will
not
weaken
in
me
,
but
I
and
Russia
have
a
right
to
expect
from
you
all
the
zeal
,
firmness
,
and
success
which
your
intellect
,
military
talent
,
and
the
courage
of
the
troops
you
command
justify
us
in
expecting
.
But
by
the
time
this
letter
,
which
proved
that
the
real
relation
of
the
forces
had
already
made
itself
felt
in
Petersburg
,
was
dispatched
,
Kutúzov
had
found
himself
unable
any
longer
to
restrain
the
army
he
commanded
from
attacking
and
a
battle
had
taken
place
.
On
the
second
of
October
a
Cossack
,
Shapoválov
,
who
was
out
scouting
,
killed
one
hare
and
wounded
another
.
Following
the
wounded
hare
he
made
his
way
far
into
the
forest
and
came
upon
the
left
flank
of
Murat
's
army
,
encamped
there
without
any
precautions
.
The
Cossack
laughingly
told
his
comrades
how
he
had
almost
fallen
into
the
hands
of
the
French
.
A
cornet
,
hearing
the
story
,
informed
his
commander
.
The
Cossack
was
sent
for
and
questioned
.
The
Cossack
officers
wished
to
take
advantage
of
this
chance
to
capture
some
horses
,
but
one
of
the
superior
officers
,
who
was
acquainted
with
the
higher
authorities
,
reported
the
incident
to
a
general
on
the
staff
.
The
state
of
things
on
the
staff
had
of
late
been
exceedingly
strained
.
Ermólov
had
been
to
see
Bennigsen
a
few
days
previously
and
had
entreated
him
to
use
his
influence
with
the
commander
in
chief
to
induce
him
to
take
the
offensive
.
"
If
I
did
not
know
you
I
should
think
you
did
not
want
what
you
are
asking
for
.
I
need
only
advise
anything
and
his
Highness
is
sure
to
do
the
opposite
,
"
replied
Bennigsen
.
The
Cossack
's
report
,
confirmed
by
horse
patrols
who
were
sent
out
,
was
the
final
proof
that
events
had
matured
.
The
tightly
coiled
spring
was
released
,
the
clock
began
to
whirr
and
the
chimes
to
play
Despite
all
his
supposed
power
,
his
intellect
,
his
experience
,
and
his
knowledge
of
men
,
Kutúzov
--
having
taken
into
consideration
the
Cossack
's
report
,
a
note
from
Bennigsen
who
sent
personal
reports
to
the
Emperor
,
the
wishes
he
supposed
the
Emperor
to
hold
,
and
the
fact
that
all
the
generals
expressed
the
same
wish
--
could
no
longer
check
the
inevitable
movement
,
and
gave
the
order
to
do
what
he
regarded
as
useless
and
harmful
--
gave
his
approval
,
that
is
,
to
the
accomplished
fact
.
Bennigsen
's
note
and
the
Cossack
's
information
that
the
left
flank
of
the
French
was
unguarded
were
merely
final
indications
that
it
was
necessary
to
order
an
attack
,
and
it
was
fixed
for
the
fifth
of
October
.
On
the
morning
of
the
fourth
of
October
Kutúzov
signed
the
dispositions
.
Toll
read
them
to
Ermólov
,
asking
him
to
attend
to
the
further
arrangements
.
"
All
right
--
all
right
.
I
have
n't
time
just
now
,
"
replied
Ermólov
,
and
left
the
hut
.
