The barrier knife is one of the four systems of the Tang knife, and the name comes from its use, Tang Liudian: cover the barrier body to resist the enemy.

The Tang knife is the most controversial in the four systems!

One view, similar to the rib difference in a dagger or a Japanese sword, is similar in shape, but lighter and more flexible, making it easier to fight in close quarters.

When the horizontal knife or Mo knife in the soldier's hand is inconvenient to use because it is close to the body, the obstacle knife has become the leading weapon in close quarters, so the cover uses the barrier body (obstacle knife + body) to defend against the enemy, because the short whole body and knife are facing the enemy.

The obstacle, the hidden. It is about 15cm~50cm long.

Another point of view: obstacle knife, obstacle one, clearing obstacles, domineering.

The cover is used to defend against the enemy, and the word barrier can be understood as the blade of the knife to resist the enemy, so it is very likely to be a broad-edged Tang knife, and it is normal to have a wide-bladed Tang knife in the Tang Dynasty, but there is no record.

Therefore, it is also possible that the barrier knife is similar to the predecessor of the broad-bladed machete. At the same time, another circumstantial evidence is that the ancients in the Tang and Song dynasties often used the "She knife" to clear obstacles and reclaim barren mountains.

She knives were folk agricultural knives at that time. In the Song Dynasty, the She knife combined with the detachable handle of the Mo knife, and the She knife with a long handle became the folk knife "Pu knife". There is a screw at the place where the handle is installed, and there is a screw at one end of the rod, and it is "three girls", which is installed and very strong.

This is the interpretation of the obstacle knife in later generations, Cao Cao, who did not see Tang Sidao clearly at all, took it for granted that the obstacle knife was a dagger, not a Kuanren Tang knife, but he didn't know that the true appearance of the obstacle knife itself was actually quite controversial.

Later generations don't say much, but in this time and space, the barrier knife is indeed a horizontal knife with a widened blade. As for the power, there is no need to say more.

After all, the horizontal knife when I got up in the morning was abolished. It is because the blade is too narrow, and now it is a horizontal knife under the widening. Compared with the ring-headed knife, the power is still rising, at least the scene after the collision of the two is that the ring-head knife is broken, and there is only a gap on the horizontal knife.

The development of any weapon often sometimes leads to a dead end, just like Cao Cao before, who did not think of widening the horizontal blade at all, but was an ordinary craftsman, unintentionally. It was made by mistake.

The old rule is to temporarily produce 10,000 obstacle knives for testing, and wait until the end to determine whether it is finalized production and put into use, in addition, for Ma He, Cao Cao also praised it vigorously, regardless of whether he hit it by mistake or not, but being able to make an obstacle knife is enough to make Cao Cao appreciate.

Didn't think of it anyway. When he was building it, he was very excited because he thought of the horizontal knife inexplicably, and the deformed obstacle knife he accidentally created was actually appreciated by Cao Cao. After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, it is pure coincidence that the villain was able to create the Barrier Knife, but His Majesty must not praise it so much. If the villain's fellow countrymen were all here, they might be able to create a barrier knife faster than the villain. ”

Cao Cao's eyes froze. With some curiosity and hope, he asked: "Fellow countryman, I don't know where Ma Aiqing is from?" ”

was called Aiqing's Ma River by Cao Cao. A little embarrassed and moved: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain is a Xiliang Fufeng person, Ma Jun is a fellow villager of the villain, and Ma Junzi often invents some new things in the township." ”

Fufeng people, the great inventor Ma Jun in the Three Kingdoms period is also a Fufeng person, the name is the same, the origin is the same, there is no running, Ma Jun in the mouth of the Ma River is definitely that Ma Jun!

Thinking of Ma Jun's talent, Cao Cao was excited, if he could pull Ma Jun in, then the Royal Arsenal, or the entire Great Wei Dynasty, would definitely be able to speed up the climb on the imperial examination tree of cold weapons!

When Cao Cao said that he wanted Ma Jun to come to Daliang, Ma He directly agreed, saying that he would go back to his hometown immediately to contact Ma Junliang and bring him to Daliang!

After easily seeing the repeating crossbow, the divine arm bow, the barrier knife, and after getting the exact news of Ma Jun, Cao Cao was satisfied with the stunned Dian Wei and Xu Chu who had been shocked by the things in the arsenal behind him, and left, of course, before leaving, Cao Cao was not stingy with the craftsmen who invented the repeater crossbow, the divine arm bow and the barrier knife, and they had their own money, fame and fortune, which once again stimulated the craftsmen in the arsenal.

Cao Cao, who only returned to the palace when Jin Wuxi fell, saw at first glance that it seemed that he was waiting for his frustration, thinking that the order he had just given in the arsenal was likely to have been passed on to the frustration through Liu Ye at this time, Cao Cao was stunned and immediately wanted to escape.

It's just that Cao Cao is still slow, and when he just wanted to escape, Fu Zhu had already seen Cao Cao, and immediately rushed to Cao Cao with a full body of anger, and said with a gloomy smile: "Your Majesty, the minister has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Haha, Frustrated Aiqing, what a coincidence, I don't know what is the matter with you waiting for me for so long?"

Cao Cao smiled and wanted to fool the past The abacus is obviously impossible to succeed, and said gloomily: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received the order from Liu Shangshu that His Majesty has just ordered to make 10,000 obstacle knives, 10,000 crossbows, and 10,000 divine arms and bows, I don't know if Your Majesty still knows that the money in the treasury is not so much, Your Majesty is not too easy to see the ministers?!" ”

Well, Cao Cao, who was excited just now, obviously forgot that the money in the treasury was not very sufficient, and at this time, as soon as the 30,000 manufacturing order came out, it could be said that all the money in the treasury was consumed except for the spare money.

"Aiqing, you also know that today's world is a world of great contention, this weapon is the most important thing, I can't help it, the reason why I produced 30,000 is also for testing, so as not to have problems in the future."

In the face of frustration, Cao Cao was still quite embarrassed, after all, it was so good to cheat this honest man, even if it was Cao Cao, who was thick-faced and black-hearted, he still became very honest.

Fortunately, the frustration is here today, and it is just to send out the grievances in his heart, and at the same time tell Cao Cao that the treasury has no money, don't think about doing more things, of course, the last meaning of the frustration, Cao Cao is to ignore it in the past, although it is said that there are many places where Dawei uses money, but there are also many places to collect money, how can there be no money, according to Cao Cao's calculations, after excluding all, there is at least one-third of the money left in the treasury.

However, the traditional thinking of the ancient Chinese people, even if it is frustrated, in his opinion, except for the use of it, he would like to pile all the money in the treasury, just like the rule of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty, the rope that wears money is rotten, to a Hongwu rule!
