Just FYI
There was a legitimate constitutional and legal process available whereby congressional floor challenges could be tabled that would require the house to halt certification and have a vote to suspend, to look into voting irregularities and fraud. Ironically these congressional floor challenges were just about to be tabled when the protesters invaded the Capitol. This resulted in emergency house rules being applied which prevented the vote to suspend taking place when the house reconvened.
That’s not at all what was happening. What was supposed to happen is Pence was supposed to either accept the alternate slate or pretend he couldn’t tell which slate of electors was the legitimate one, sending it back to the states. If the states didn’t recertify in time, then their state wouldn’t count and neither candidate would secure a majority of the votes. This would send it back to the congress.
The problem was, the documents were forged and 5/7 represented themselves as a real slate of electors.
Can you cite a source as to your claim?
Lastly, remember what we’re talking about here: throwing out millions of votes because you didn’t like the result. That is hugely authoritarian, especially in this day and age when that’s not how votes are decided.

So, why on earth would Trump want his supporters to invade the Capitol and thus prevent a legal suspension of the certification process? It doesn't make sense.
Pence had already told him he wouldn’t go along with the plan and would count the legal slate of electors. He was putting pressure on Pence. That’s why he said that they have to go to the capitol to remind the “weak republicans” of their duty, essentially to overturn the election. That’s exactly what he communicated in his speech.

Also FYI
Trump requested 10000 national guard troops for Jan 6 but was turned down. (Proof in the link below)
If his request had been acted on the invasion of the Capitol would never have happened. Even after the Capitol invasion was under way further requests for national guard help were rejected.
Here are some of the real culprits for Jan 6.

He wanted 10000 national guard there to protect his people, not the capital. That’s what he communicated to everyone. People didn’t want them there if they were going to be used as thugs to protect Trump supporters, yes. Every other election that national guard wasn’t needed until Trump sent his supporter at the Capitol and would neither call them off nor call the national guard when they started rioting and breaking into the Capitol.
Also what power does any congress person have to call on the National Guard. If Trump had intelligence that said there were going to be attacks and he didn’t call them in, he’s the damn commander in chief. He’s the commander of the National Guard bro!
He sat there encouraging Pence to overturn the election with people begging him to tell his supporters to go home. He did nothing because he wanted it to happen.
