Obviously, Gao Huan didn't lose to Yu Wentai, and they didn't win. Why do some people say that Yu Wentai is better?

Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, two contemporary heroes, fought four times in their lives, both of which were two wins and two losses. In fact, Yu Wentai was even worse, saying that Yu Wentai was worse, which was nothing more than influenced by the fact that Gao's Northern Qi was finally destroyed by Yuwen's Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Gao Huan and Yu Wentai had died many years earlier.

1. Gao Huan, the founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Yu Wentai, the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, fought four wars in Xiaoguan, Shayuan, Mangshan and Heyin. In the first two wars, Gao Huan suffered a slight defeat and a fiasco, and in the last two wars, Yu Wentai suffered a fiasco. It can be seen that the ability of the two is actually half a catty.

The reason why people feel that Gao Huan is not as good as Yu Wentai is because the historical records deliberately weaken and blur Yu Wentai's two fiasco, but highlight Gao Huan's fiasco in Shayuan. Why is this happening? Because the winner after that was Yu Wentai and his descendants of Guanlong Group, the rulers of Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty all came from this group. Of course, we should make some deliberate efforts in compiling and editing history books. In the history books, no matter the defeat of Mangshan in Yu Wentai or the defeat of Heyin, it is recorded vaguely, which is attributed to the great change of weather, deliberately hiding the problem of Yu Wentai and others' command. In fact, after Mangshan and Heyin suffered two crushing defeats, Yu Wentai almost perished if Gao Huan didn't continue his pursuit. Gao Huan, though it suffered a disastrous defeat in Shayuan, did not suffer from national subjugation.

Second, judging from their strength and on-the-spot command on the battlefield, Gao Huan and Yu Wentai each have their own strengths

First of all, Gao Huan's initial strength was much stronger than Yu Wentai's, but compared with Yu Wentai's, his use of troops was still lacking in change, especially in the battle of Shayuan. Keeping the essence was the reason for his command mistakes. Judging from the two wars of Xiaoguan and Shayuan, Gao Huan's on-the-spot command and response are indeed inferior to Yu Wentai's. However, judging from Mangshan and Heyin World War II near Luoyang, Yu Wentai's army simply did not have the strength to defeat Gao Huanjun. Yu Wentai confronted Gao Huanjun head-on, which actually showed Yu Wentai's irrationality. After two defeats, Yu Wentai almost died. Gao Huan failed to pursue in time, and it can be seen that Gao Huan is too cautious in fighting and dare not take risks. However, in any case, as long as Yu Wentai leaves its base in Guanzhong, he can't beat Gao Huan. This is a fact. The powerful power of Gao Huan is also established by Gao Huan himself, which is not a fluke. Therefore, the two have their own strengths. Machiavellian, Gao Huan seems to be better, while Yu Wentai is more flexible in fighting.

Third, in the long run, Yu Wentai has a more strategic vision than Gao Huan, and later it achieved the final victory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty over the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Yu Wentai was forced to reform the military system and implement government soldiers because of two heavy defeats, so that the Han people in Guanlong could also serve as soldiers, and reformed a series of politics within its jurisdiction. He also took advantage of the civil strife in Nanliang to seize Bashu and Jingzhou and promote the integration of Hu and Han. At this point, Gao Huan is far behind Yu Wentai, and even in order to maintain its arrogant soldiers, it deliberately indulges arrogant soldiers to break the law and die.

Therefore, although Northern Qi was far stronger than Northern Zhou at first, it was eventually surpassed by Northern Zhou. It is not an accident that the Northern Zhou Dynasty under the rule of Yu Wentai's son Yuwen Yong destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty under the rule of Gao Huan's grandson Gao Wei, but the long-term accumulation of a series of reform measures in Yu Wentai.

Therefore, in terms of personal ability, Gao Huan is not inferior to Yu Wentai, and even has some advantages in the short term, but in terms of long-term planning, Yu Wentai is naturally stronger.
