魏文帝卽位，以定策功，進爵為公，增邑五百戶，拜使持節、散騎常侍、車騎大將軍、左光祿大夫。 When Western Wei Emperor Wen acceded, for merit in settling the succession he was advanced to duke, his fief was increased by five hundred households, and he was appointed bearer of staff of authority, Regular Attendant Imperial Secretary, chariots-and-cavalry grand general, and Left Grand Master of Splendid Happiness.

明年，魏文帝東征，留導為華州刺史。 The next year, when Western Wei Emperor Wen marched east, Yuwen Dao was left as governor of Hua Province.

及齊氏稱帝，太祖發關中兵討之，魏文帝遣齊王廓鎮隴右，徵導還朝。 When Northern Qi declared itself emperor, Grand Progenitor Yuwen Tai dispatched Guanzhong troops to campaign against it; Western Wei Emperor Wen sent Prince of Qi Kuo to garrison Longyou and summoned Yuwen Dao back to court.
