it didn't

well the burning part actually probably did happen, but all of the drama about pang tong rusing cao cao into chaining his ships, zhuge liang capturing arrows, wubes beating huang gai to make it seem like huang gai was really butthurt about having been physically punished, etc. was all fiction.

sickness was also a common factor in many of the campaigns of that era and iirc many of cao cao's troops were ill during that campaign, having not been acclimated to the climate, terrain and conditions of jing province.
