Well, that was actually my idea and it works like a gem but only up to a certain point since your number of generals are tightly connected to the number of provinces you hold. I always bolster pops in settlements to get them to the next levels so I always have tons of peasants migrating all over the map. As you stated I move a stack of peasants to the adjacent tile of the enemy and then engage him with a single unit peasant from another direction. And I always auto-calc theese battles since I don´t have time for micro-managing peasant battles.
