Big Boss would only have to turn up at Major Zero's doorstep and ask for a job with Foxhound and Zero would jump at the chance straight away. Zero was trying to convince Boss to rejoin him before in a peaceful manner. At the end of Peace Walker, it all changes when he tries to frame Snake for a nuclear launch and lead the world to believe Snake's group are terrorists.

Regardless of whether this plan works, Zero has clearly taken a more hostile approach from there. And Snake's intent in The Phantom Pain is to lead a path of revenge towards XOF and Cipher.
