長慶初，承宗卒，穆宗命田宏正為成德軍節度使。 In the early Changqing reign Chengzong died, and Emperor Muzong appointed Tian Hongzheng military governor of the Chengde army.

既而鎮人殺宏正，推廷湊為留後，朝廷不能制，因以旄鉞授之。 Soon afterward the garrison of Zhen killed Hongzheng and installed Tingcou as acting governor. The court could not restrain them and therefore granted him the insignia of command.
