What is the relationship between Huns and Gansu people?

Gansu people were not Huns before. In fact, Gansu people have little to do with Xiongnu. The ancient Xiongnu basically left the Gulf countries, Xinjiang and European Arab countries. Now Gansu people are immigrants from Shanxi and southern provinces, so Gansu people now have nothing to do with the ancient Huns.
