Just, Napoleon's tactic was to defeat the enemy armies and capture the capital and leaders of the country. He made vassals out of the occupied countries, and did not fight them to the last.

Why did Napoleon go to Moscow, and not St. Petersburg, which was the capital of Russia at that time?

I mean that an attack on the capital would force the Russians into battle.
