I’m on the understanding that he never lost a battle and I truly think that if we around for Gettysburg then he might have told Lee not to do it and to keep the defensive war going

again thank you

The only battle he ever lost was the First Battle of Kernstown, where faulty intelligence led him to believe that he was attacking a small detachment instead of a force that outnumbered him almost two-to-one.

Still, he managed to turn a tactical defeat into a strategic victory by convincing the Union commanders that he had more men than he actually had, thus prevented the transfer of forces from the Valley to reinforce the Peninsula Campaign, where they would have swept down on the Confederates' flank and rear and almost surely overwhelmed them.
