後田弘正以魏歸，吉甫知魏人謂田進誠才，而唐州乃蔡喉衿，請拔進誠為刺史，以臨賊境，且慰魏心。 Later when Tian Hongzheng brought Wei back to allegiance, Jifu knew the people of Wei admired Tian Jincheng's ability, and that Tangzhou was the throat of Cai territory; he asked to appoint Jincheng prefect of Tangzhou to face the rebels and reassure Wei.

烏重胤守河陽，吉甫以汝州捍蔽東都，聯唐、許，當蔡西面，兵寡不足憚寇，而河陽乃魏博之津，弘正歸國，則為內鎮，不宜戍重兵示不信，請徙屯汝州。 Wu Chongyin held Heyang; Jifu argued that Ruzhou shielded the eastern capital, linked Tang and Xu, and faced Cai on the west, and with few troops could not deter the enemy; yet Heyang was Weibo's strategic crossing—with Hongzheng's return it became an inner command and should not be heavily garrisoned as a sign of distrust; he asked to move the garrison to Ruzhou.

後弘正拜檢校尚書右僕射，賜其軍錢二千萬，弘正曰：「吾未喜於移河陽軍也。」 Later Hongzheng was appointed acting right vice director of the Department of State Affairs and granted twenty million in cash for his army; Hongzheng said, "I am not pleased about the transfer of the Heyang army."
