何進滔，靈武人也。 He Jintao came from Lingwu.

以進滔之貴，贈左散騎常侍。 When Jintao rose to high rank, Mo was posthumously made Left Regular Attendant-in-Ordinary.

進滔客寄於魏，委質軍門，事節度使田弘正。 Jintao had settled in Wei as an outsider, pledged himself to the army, and served under the military governor Tian Hongzheng.

弘正奉詔討鄆州，破李師道，時進滔爲衙內都知兵馬使，以功授兼侍御史。 When Hongzheng marched on Yanzhou by imperial order and broke Li Shidao, Jintao was chief controller of horse and foot in the headquarters guard and was made concurrent Attending Censor for his service.

太和三年，軍眾害史憲誠，連聲而呼曰：「得衙內都知兵馬使何端公知留後，即三軍安矣。」 In the third year of Taihe the soldiers killed Shi Xiancheng and cried out together, "Let Lord He, the chief controller of the headquarters guard, take charge as acting governor, and the three armies will be settled."

朝廷因授進滔左散騎常侍、魏博等州節度觀察處置等使。 The court thereupon appointed Jintao Left Regular Attendant-in-Ordinary and military governor, observation commissioner, and disposition commissioner of Weibo and the associated prefectures.

進滔子弘敬子弘敬襲其位。 Jintao's son Hongjing succeeded to his father's post.

變易主帥，有同兒戲，如史憲誠、何進滔、韓君雄、樂彥禎，皆爲其所立。 They changed commanders as casually as children at play; Shi Xiancheng, He Jintao, Han Junxiong, and Le Yanzhen had all been set up by them.
